Cyndi, daughter, sister, aunt, friend. She was born in Portland, Oregon to Dave and Marge McCool, joining big sisters Vicki and Lindy. The family moved to a farm in Sandy when she was little and it was there that she discovered her love of horses and became “Daddy’s boy and Mommy’s girl”. She attended Cottrell Grade School and Sandy High. She graduated from Mt. Hood Community College with a Bachelor of Arts and started working at Davis Printing. Later she became owner of Prestige Printing, where she grew a small printing business into two businesses, one in Sandy and one in Gresham. She was married to Craig Timm for almost 2 years until his passing. She and Dan’s friendship grew through mutual grief during this time and eventually led to a romance and marriage in 1989.
She is survived by her parents, David and Marge McCool, sisters Lindy Sandy, Vicki and her husband John Dixon. Nephews and nieces John and Rachel Dixon, Dennis and Abigail Dixon, Jessi and Ariel Veras, David and Beth Sandy and Matthew and Karely Sandy and 14 grand nephews and nieces.
Dan and Cyndi shared many of the same passions in life such as cars, photography, travel and flying. They both worked extremely hard to accomplish their goal of traveling the world and making friends wherever they went. Their travels took them to unique destinations and often included skiing, scuba and diving and photo documentation of their experiences. They lived life to its fullest. They participated in volunteer work through their church and were also dedicated to the Angel Wings organization and serving those that need them most. Their highest priority was their families.
They will be remembered for their joy in life, their generosity, their ability to entertain guests at a moments notice and always being able to make a celebration happen. They will be dearly missed by all who knew them.
