Born: Dec 31, 1969
Date of Passing: Jun 24, 2013
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCINDY MICHELLE HERRINGTON (nee LETOURNEAU) Our much loved Cindy has been welcomed home to the arms of the creator after a brave battle with cancer. Cindy passed with peace and grace on Monday, June 24, 2013 at the Health Sciences Centre, at the age of 46 years. She was taken from us way too soon. Those of us touched by Cindy's blessings and left with many fond memories are, sons Christopher and Joel; mother, Marie Buckle (nee Hotovec); father Guy Letourneau; stepfather Bob Buckle; brothers Dodd Letourneau, Chris Buckle (sister-in-law Lynne Buckle), Cory Letourneau, and sister Leanne Letourneau. She also leaves her nephews Kyle and Chase Letourneau, Nicholas Winters, Kyle Desjarlais, Phillip and Cory Zirk, and nieces Brittney, Kaely and Nikki Buckle, Karise Orellana and Chelsie Zirk, and her "sister friend" Betty Hirniak. So many others at work and throughout her life will never forget how she touched them including Esther Meisner, Dawn, Tracy, and Ric to name only a few. Cindy was predeceased by her beloved husband and father of her two sons, Michael Herrington; sweet daughter Michelle Herrington; wonderful stepmother, Gwen Smith of Winnipeg; mother-in-law Jeanette Schneider of Florida, and her grandparents. Cindy worked as a special needs Educational Assistant in the Louis Riel School Division. She was born to do this job and loved the children she worked with as if they were her own. Everywhere she went, Cindy left warmth, love and laughter. She had a way of smoothing over life with her dry, sarcastic humour right to her last days. But what she loved the most was her family, in particular her boys, Joel and Chris. There was no one who could know Cindy without knowing that. They were her everything. Cindy collected antiques, enjoyed camping, the Winnipeg Jets and Big Brother. She loved animals especially her cats and her dog Serena. She recently purchased a home and was proud to be able to live there with her sons. In compliance with Cindy's wishes, there will not be a Funeral, just a simple family get-together at a later date. We wish to thank Winnipeg Cancer Centre and all the nurses and doctors there, especially Jacques on the 3rd floor. Also, thanks to Dr. Tim Hiebert and his nurse Lisa of the Palliative Care Team for the dignity and gentleness they brought to this difficult process. Thanks to the nursing staff on the 4th floor at Health Sciences Centre especially Katie, who got the popsicles, Morgan from the babysitters and to Sarah who brought sunshine into every day. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to SMD, Society for Manitobans with Disabilities in honour of her many "children" from work.

I just found out today two years later, my gosh, Cindy was my best friend in Junior High. I am so saddened by her passing. God Bless you and keep you my friend, so sorry I wasn't there for you. Rest in peace. <3 - Posted by: Lorelei Catellier (friend) on: Aug 19, 2014

Dear Cindy, As I write this you are far to young to have passed. Life isn't fair sometimes but you have left behind two handsome boys to carry on your name and take over your path or journey through life as they grow. May they be blessed as much as you were and carry on your sweetness and giving heart. You will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace!!! Nancy - Posted by: Nancy Kosie (Co-worker) on: Jul 27, 2013

I was a friend of her mother and came into contact with Cindy as a baby and later as a young teen but only for a brief time. I remember the beautiful baby and young girl that she was. God Bless her for her work here on earth. - Posted by: Karen Drew (Childhood friend of Cindy's mother.) on: Jun 30, 2013

Dear Chris, I was both shocked and very saddened to read of your Mom's untimely and far too early passing. Although I only met her a few times it was obvious to me what a truly special bond of love and respect you and your mother had for each other. It was also readily apparent to me how much she deeply loved and cared about you and your brother Joel --- you and he were her everything. I was just talking about you a few weeks ago at one of my wife's retirement functions. I was mentioning to some of my fellow teachers that one of my all time favorite memories of my whole teaching career was of the daily "Herrington Hugs" that I got from you when I had you in grade 5. Please know that I am thinking of you and your brother at this sad time and my thoughts and prayers are with the both of you. Yours sincerely, Dave Boult Garden Grove - Posted by: Dave Boult (Former Teacher) on: Jun 29, 2013
