Cindy Maiden 1958-2023
Cindy Maiden passed away in Leisure World on Oct. 20, 2023 at the age of 65. Cindy was born in Portland, Maine, but moved to California with her parents when she was in high school.
Cindy had a variety of careers. Her love for children led her to have an in-home daycare and then transitioned to working in a childcare center of a private school before she became an office manager. After beating a difficult case of breast cancer, Cindy moved on to pursue a job working in attractions at Disneyland. Cindy had a passion for all things Disney which meant that she was living the Disney magic each day. She eventually left Disneyland to work for the Golden Rain Foundation in Recreation and then Copy and Supply offices. Cindy lived in Long Beach for most of her life and loved going to the beach regardless of the season. She was a lover of rollercoasters, movies, sweets, and Diana Galbaldon’s Outlander series. She said she was always waiting for her Scottish Highlander in a kilt to come and sweep her off her feet.
Cindy’s passing was very unexpected; her family and friends are mourning her during this difficult time. Her legacy includes four daughters and six grandchildren. She often had her grandchildren over for sleepovers. These sleepovers would include camping in tents in her living room and giving them more sugar than their parents would ever allow before dropping them off at home.
A celebration of Cindy’s life will be held on Friday, Nov. 17, in Clubhouse 4. Contact Jennifer at 714-271-0737 if you would like to attend.
