Obituary of Cynthia Evelyn Dressler

DRESSLER " On Wednesday, June 18, 2008, Cynthia Evelyn (Cindy) Dressler, (nee Graham), late of Winnipeg, Manitoba, peacefully rose to the loving arms of her Father at the age of 53 years. Predeceased by her father, Tom Graham in 2002 and her brother Trevor in 1983, Cindy is survived by her mother, Pearl Graham of Fort St. James, BC; husband Max of Winnipeg, MB; sons Rob of Kamloops, BC and Eric of Calgary, AB; brothers Tom (Wilma) Graham of Prince George, BC and Tyler (Katie) Graham of Fort St. James, BC; sisters, Gloria (Richard) Oullette of Fort St. James, BC, Charlene (Jay) Bobrowich of Salmon Arm, BC, Kelly (Wayne) Akister of Cheadle, AB, Corinne (Bob) Sinclair of Prince George, BC; along with numerous nieces and nephews. Cindy was born in Vanderhoof, BC on March 13, 1955. An outgoing and devoted student, she excelled at athletics and garnered a reputation as an accomplished athlete. She and her husband Max were married on September 14, 1974 and until the 1990s resided throughout western Canada as part of the RCMP family. Their sons, Rob and Eric were born in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in 1977 and 1979 respectively. Cindy and Max have resided in Winnipeg since January, 2007. Cindys loves in life were her God, family and friends. Her spirit, selflessness, kindness, wonderful sense of humour and love for others were without equal. These wonderful gifts served her well as she fought and ultimately reigned over the devastating affliction of Schizo-affective Disorder. Cindy was the most beautiful human being and the world has shone much brighter for it. A Celebration of Cindys life will be held on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. in Westhill Park Baptist Church, 8025 Sherwood Drive, Regina with Rev. Henry Friesen officiating. Flowers gratefully declined. Friends so wishing may make donations, in memoriam, to the Schizophrenia Society of Saskatchewan, 2123 Broad Street, Regina S4P 1Y6.
