Cynthia “Cindy” Stevenson, 69, of Overland Park, KS died on Sunday, August 31st  at home with her family after a lengthy illness.  She was born a proud Virgo on August 25, 1957, in Waterloo, IA, oldest daughter of Jimmy and Lu (Skattum) Yearling.

She graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1975 and earned a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Northern Iowa with a minor in Spanish in 1979.

Cindy married Scott Bradfield in 1980; they later divorced. They had two daughters, Christine and Elizabeth (Liz) together.

She married Bob Stevenson in 1996 and they enjoyed many happy years together before his death in 2023.

Cindy worked for the Waterloo School System teaching elementary and middle school for 33 years and was beloved by many former students and colleagues for her sense of humor. She also served as a union representative throughout her career.

Cindy loved landscaping and beautifying her homes with her husband Bob. They frequently welcomed all sorts of friends and family at their cabin during the summer and on the weekends. She did some modeling in her youth and was a glamorous woman who loved fashion and shopping. In recent years, she enjoyed doting on her grandchildren and watching Indiana Fever basketball games.

Her one-liners and humor will never be forgotten, and she never met a Chardonnay she didn’t like!

Cindy is survived by her daughters, Christine (Jonathan) Law of Brookfield, WI, Liz Bradfield of Overland Park, KS; and two adored grandchildren, Dean Law and Clara Rose O’Reilly. She is preceded in death by her husband Bob, parents Jim and Lu, brother Scott, sister Stacey, and many loved pets.

A Celebration of Life Open House will be held at Aubrey Vineyards in Overland Park, KS, Sunday, October 18 from 2-5 pm. Bring a light heart and your best “Cindy story”- she would not want it any other way!

Memorials may be directed to her daughters.
