Mary Zifer’s pizza nights with her children and grandchildren were a sacred tradition in her household that will be fondly remembered. Cindi loved going on car rides through the back roads to the country side, where she found great joy in watching and taking pictures of deer and picturesque scenes. In her free time, Cindi delighted in putting together puzzles. Cindi was a 1972 graduate of New Philadelphia High School.
