Cindy was the beloved wife of 46 years to Cyril “Al” Jennings. She was a devoted mother to Amy (Jason), Harder, Amanda Jennings, and Emily (Michael) Powers. Cindy was a proud grandmother to Jeremy, Alexis, Jacob, Devon, Kendall, and Dylan, and was overjoyed to become a great-grandmother to Analia.
She is also survived by her brother, Ronald (Laura) Peters, along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends whose lives she touched throughout the years.

Simply known as “Grandma Cindy” to so many, Cindy had a special gift for making everyone feel welcome and loved. Whether you were family, a friend, or someone she had just met, chances were you would leave with one of her famous “treat bags” filled with candy, kindness, and a little extra love.
She was a graduate of Hammond Clark High School, Class of 1968. She then worked for Union Carbide for many years. She was a hardworking woman whose greatest joy in life was her family. She loved and supported those she cared about in every way possible, always putting others before herself.
Cindy’s family will forever cherish the memories, laughter, love, and unwavering support she shared throughout her life. Her warm heart, generous spirit, and caring nature will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The NWI Food Bank or Family Promise of Porter County.
