She also loved traveling with her close friends and enjoyed many memorable "girl trips" to Reno, Las Vegas, and Maui.

She was the calm in every storm, Rindy was a devoted aunt, daughter and sister. Her soul had a certain stillness within it that made everyone around her filled with love and peace. She had the ability to appreciate the little things in life that matter most. Rindy's example of how she lived a generous, thoughtful, peaceful and kind life will remain in the heart and memories of all her nephews and nieces. Rindy will be deeply missed.
