Her life was dedicated to her family and Cindy cherished all her children and grandchildren. She was a gentle soul with a compassionate heart.
Her commitment to make everything bright, beautiful, and cheery was apparent in all of her works of art. She was extremely creative and artistic, designing and painting numerous theme rooms in all her family’s homes with her favorite being the "Strawberry Short Cake" playhouse. The Hilke home was decorated for every holiday and season. She was the master mind behind the woodwork projects constructed by her partner, Paul, and brought to life with her art brushes. Cindy was a seamstress extraordinaire with the talent to design clothing, costumes, and home décor for all of her family.
