Cynthia "Cindy" Jean Bigler Nero (April 11, 1947 – February 6, 2025)

In loving memory of Cynthia "Cindy" Jean Nero, who passed from this world on February 6, 2025, after a brief but valiant battle with cancer. Born on April 11, 1947, to Wayne Bigler and Angeline Lombardi, Cindy's life was a quiet symphony of love, devotion, and gentle joys. To those who knew her best, Cindy was not merely a wife, a mother, a grandmother, or a friend—she was the warm hearth at the center of it all, the gentle but unwavering force that turned mere houses into homes and meals into feasts. Her presence was a binding thread, stitching together the hearts of those she loved with a tenderness beyond words. Cindy married her beloved Ramon Nero in April 1968, and together they built a life rich in warmth and steadfast devotion. She is survived by Ramon, their daughters Diana Nero, Denise (Luke) Tullius, and Dina Jones, and the joy of her heart, her granddaughter Makenna Jones. Her love extended beyond her immediate family to her brothers, Dwayne Bigler, Wayne (Theresa) Bigler, and Jeffrey Bigler, as well as her many nieces and nephews. She is also mourned by her faithful companion, Milo, the dog who was her shadow and her comfort. She now joins in eternal rest those who went before her—her father, Wayne Bigler; her mother, Angeline Lombardi; and her sister, Pamela Bigler. And yet, though she has stepped beyond the veil, she is not gone. The echo of her laughter lingers in the walls of the family home. The scent of her baking still seems to hang in the air on quiet afternoons. The love she so freely gave endures in the hearts of all who knew her. Cindy had a way of making the ordinary extraordinary. A simple thrift store find became a treasure. A family gathering became a cherished memory. A conversation with her was never just words; it was comfort, wisdom, and love wrapped in the melody of her voice. At Cindy's request, no formal service will be held. Instead, let those who knew her honor her memory in the way she lived—by sharing stories and laughter and by cherishing the people who make life worth living. For in love, there is no true parting, and in the hearts she touched, Cindy will remain always.
