CYNTHIA WEINLAEDER
Cedar Rapids
Cynthia (Niermeier) Weinlaeder, 67, of Cedar Rapids, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2017, at Hallmark Care Center in Mount Vernon.
Cindy was born to Henry and Bertha Niermeier on Aug. 16, 1949, in Corpus Christi, Texas. She graduated from Lutheran High School South in St. Louis and Concordia University, Nebraska. As a commissioned minister, she taught in Lutheran schools in North Miami, Fla., Washington, Mo., Independence, Kan., Plainview, Minn., and Rochester, Minn. She loved to read, sew, travel and sing in church choirs. Her travels took her to all 50 states.
Cindy is survived by her husband, Ken Weinlaeder; three daughters, Jennifer (Charles) Goetzman, Kristen (Jason) Beech and Becky (Pat) Remiger; two sisters; one brother; six grandchildren, Ethan, Gavin, Thanh, Cole, Tate and Shelby; numerous nieces and nephews; and other family members and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, one niece and one nephew.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 14, at King of Kings Lutheran Church in Robins. Visitation will be held one hour before and after the service.
Because she believed every child should have a home, memorials to LCMS International Mission Project 24 are preferred.
