Cynthia "Cindy" Moore

  Cynthia "Cindy" Moore, 71, of South Bend, passed away unexpectedly

on Friday, March 5th.

    Cindy was born in South Bend, Indiana on December 1, 1949 to George and

Madelon (Burmeister) Ginter. Cindy met the love of her life, Marv Moore, in the 1st grade at Lincoln Elementary School. On July 1,1972 they married and created a life they loved for 48 years. The light of Cindy's life were her daughter and son, Mindy and Eric. She was the proud GaGa of Nolan, Malia, Anniston and Kate. Her love for kids started long before her children and grandchildren. After 30 years of teaching she retired from the South Bend Community School Corporation in 2016, where she was a first-grade teacher. Through the years she taught at St. Patrick's School in Walkerton, St. Matthew's, Monroe, Wilson and McKinley.  She served on the Board of Directors at Chiara Home and most recently volunteered at Hannah's House. 

    Cindy always had a smile and a snack ready for anyone that came through her door. You could spot her driving around town in her convertible, working in her yard or on the dance floor when the DJ played "Mustang Sally." She was the best GaGa!  She never missed a school activity, ball game or musical. She will be missed by many!

    Cindy is survived by her loving husband, Marv; their children, Mindy (Jeff) Steele of South Bend, and Eric (Krystin) Moore of Mishawaka; her grandchildren, Nolan and Malia Moore and Anniston and Kate Steele; Cindy is also survived by her sister, Judy (Tim) Decker of Bremen; her brother, Ron (Kathi) Ginter of South Bend; her sister-in-law Becky Toops of Mishawaka. She was preceded in death by her parents; her in-laws Bill and Helen Moore; her brother, Tom Ginter (2015).
