Cindy Ann Earman, 55, Vero Beach, ended her valiant year and a half battle with cancer and went to heaven Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014 in Vero Beach. Cindy was born June 8, 1959, in Moline, Ill., to James and Ragna Christensen. She was raised in Bloomington, Ill., with her 11 siblings.
Cindy was known to friends and family as Cindy-Lu, a nickname given to her by her sister Lori and this name carried over to her devoted dog Lucy.
Cindy and her beloved husband, John D. Earman, were high school sweethearts in Bloomington who lost touch after graduation and reconnected after 20 years.
They were married in October 1999, merging their two families, and built their home in Vero Beach. Cindy took to the Florida lifestyle like a fish to water, and as a result became an avid fisherman; almost always out-fishing the others on the boat.
Cindy loved gardening, baking, reading, rooting for her Gators and spending time with family, including her adopted sons Tito and George, and especially the grandkids.
She is survived by her husbandl her mother and father-in-law, William and Mary; five children: Lori Formosa (Chris), John Eslinger, John Earman II (Tiffany), Travis Eslinger (Erin) and Tessa Eslinger; and six grandchildren: Morgan, Brynn, John III, Caleb, Ansley, and Lydia.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Mark.
A memorial service will be held at 10a.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, at Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home.
The family would like to thank VNA/Hospice of Vero Beach for their kind, compassionate care for Cindy.
