Cynthia Ann (Collins) Windler joined her Lord on January 21, 2022 in San Antonio, Texas. Eldest of 3 daughters, she was born on November 5, 1942 in Ft. Dodge, Iowa to Richard Collins and Audrey Arrasmith Collins. Cindy, as she was known, was a devoted Wife to her husband of 59 years, Tom Windler and a loving Mother to their 4 children. Along with raising the children, Cindy drove a School Bus for Norwalk ISD, Iowa, and then worked as a waitress when the family moved to San Antonio in 1985. After the children were grown, Cindy spent the next 17 years working with her husband on major construction endeavors such as The AlamoDome in San Antonio, TX; Mercy Hospital in Laredo, TX; Baptist Hospital in Harlingen, TX; and the Federal Court House in Brownsville, TX. Cindy had a passion for cooking, and her meatloaf dinners and “Pizza Nights” were some of the favorites! She was happiest when her family gathered for all the holidays, especially her favorite time of the year during Christmas. Her delicious pies and desserts left sparkles in her grandchildren’s eyes, while her festive decorations transformed her home into a Christmas wonderland! Cindy also loved working in her garden, shopping at QVC and traveling with Tom and spending time on the Texas Coast where they vacationed often. Cindy was preceded in death by her sister, Linda Reader. Cindy is survived by her beloved husband, Thomas Windler; daughters, JoDee Cortez and Tammy Telford (Allen); sons, Daniel Windler (Barbara) and Don Windler (Leslie Locke); sister, Jan Reisetter (Merritt); grandchildren, Jenifer Armstrong (Luke), Regina Binder (Bradley), Jacqueline Windler, Chelsea VanWert (Mark Adams), Rachel Windler, Sheree Dukes (Arthur), Jeremiah Anderson, Zachary Cortez, Macayla Cortez and Nicholas Telford; great-grandchildren, Hayden Lane, Luke Armstrong, Jr., Hartley Armstrong, Walker Binder, Emma Adams, Zechariah Freeman, Jaxon Anderson, August Anderson and Trinity Anderson; and numerous Nieces and Nephews. Cindy will also be missed by her dear Pearl, her family dog, and all the grandpups she so lovingly spoiled at every opportunity. Visitation will be held on Thursday, February 10, 2022 at 12:00pm, with Rosary at 1:00pm and Funeral Mass at 1:30pm at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church. Entombment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery. For personal acknowledgement, you may sign the online guestbook at www.missionparks.com in the Tributes section.
