Cindy was born February 26, 1952 in Grand Island. She grew up on the family farm northwest of Grand Island. She was the only child of Roberta (Rogan) and Raymond Behring. She attended District #18, a one-room school house. The same one her dad attended as a child. She graduated from Northwest High School in 1970. After that she cared for her grandmother for a time before working for L&L Distributing. Then, Ace Hardware for 17 years, where she met her husband. On June 27, 1981 she married her best friend, Al Gosda. They were blessed with 2 sons, Rick and Ted. She then worked at the family business Gosda Car Wash for 7 years. In 1998, Cindy and Al opened and ran A-C Laundry. In 2008, they sold the car washes to their son and his wife, Rick and Heather Gosda. In 2013, they sold the laundry business and retired. Cindy escaped death several times in her life. Being born premature, then asthma, as an infant. She was in the 1980 tornado, that went through her parents farm the night of her mother’s birthday, which claimed the life of her cousin Denise. Her son Ted once saved her from drowning at a lake in Fremont as she tried to swim. In 2014, she developed an organized pneumonia and had blood clots in her lungs. She also had Dermatomyositis which was a cause of lung damage. Cindy loved popcorn, spring, flowers, cats, birds, crafting, and camping. One of her life’s greatest blessings were her children and grandchildren. Cindy crocheted many doilies and afghans and made an occasional quilt for friends and family. Each of her grandchildren were blessed with a custom made quilt. Cindy loved to make candy and cookies for Christmas and always had ice cream with sprinkles for her grandchildren. Preceded in death by her parents. Survived by her husband, Al; sons, Rick (Heather) and Ted (Carisa) and grandchildren, Madelynn, Molly, Adella, Norah, and Simon. Her favorite feline friend Wild One will also miss her dearly.
