Our sweet mom Cindy Anne Benson Barlow went to heaven on Feb. 16, 2010 with her loved ones by her side. She passed away at Saints Medical Center in Lowell, Ma., after a long and brave battle with Huntington's Disease.
Cindy was born on Jan. 7, 1949 at Edwards Air Force Base in California to Cliff Benson and Myra Benson Brogger. She moved to Ashland, Ore. in 1973 and started working in the Shakespearean Festival Box Office. Cindy graduated from Southern Oregon University and received her bachelor of science in psychology in 1980. Cindy loved to work with children, and when she moved to Yreka in 1983, she began working at Siskiyou Childcare Center in Weed.
