Cindy was born May 9, 1949, in Mason City, the daughter of Everett and Janet (Hrubetz) Klein. In 1967, she graduated from Northwood High School in Northwood, Iowa. She married William R. Martinson Jr. on Sept. 13, 1969, in Northwood. She worked for First National Bank as a teller for 34 years, before her retirement in 2004.
Cindy enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, tending to her flower beds, scratching tickets and sipping on a nice cold beer. She also enjoyed the yearly poker trips with her husband, going to Okoboji, and taking care of her three fury children/cats: Pedro Jose, Kitty Martinson and Miracle. Cindy liked watching TV – especially the cooking channel, the Chicago Bears and the Bold and the Beautiful. She did not like to be interrupted during her “stories.”
