Cynthia P. Estes Obituary

Mrs. Estes was one of the sweetest teachers ever. I knew her from Manitou Springselementary school.

Dear Mrs. Estes,
I loved you as my grade school teacher. You were always fair with me. I remember the year when you let us see your hair down. I was awestruck to see it lay out on the floor behind you.
I left Manitou and finished my school years at Wasson.
I graduated with honors and all thanks to teachers like you.
Rest in peace as you now walk with Jesus in heaven.
You are truly missed.

Cyndy recommend me for my XMBA at the university of Colorado and attended my graduation in Boulder at CU.

Grand lady of MHS

Cyndy was my neighbor in Alamosa and was my boss in the Counselor's office at Alamosa High School. She was a good friend and I'm going to miss her annual letter describing her wonderful trips abroad. I was so sorry to hear of her passing.

Cyndy Estes was also my guidance counselor at Manitou Springs High School and she was responsible for me going to Adams State. She and her husband were among the finest people I have ever known.

Mrs. Estes was my high school guidance counselor in the early 70's in Alamosa, she had a beautiful smile and I know she touched alot of people's lives, I was sad to hear about her passing. RIP

Cyndi was a dear friend and a good neighbor. She and her husband lived across the street. I enjoyed working with her also at Alamosa High School. She is dearly missed.

I have thought of you so very often. Thank God for memories.

Mrs. Estes. . . No one will ever take her place. She was my favorite teacher at Manitou. And she had the most beautiful hair that I have ever seen in all my 65 years. You will be missed Cynthia!

Such fond memories of the "Girl's Counselor" at MSHS in the 1960's. She was always so kind and had a smile for everyone. One incident that stands out so clearly is when she very kindly told the young ladies in my Sophomore class that we should NOT wear strapless formals to Prom as we didn't have enough to keep them up. Her honesty saved many of us a GREAT deal of embarassment. Thank you for helping mold so many young people with your honesty, understanding, humor and kindness. God Bless You Mrs. E!!!!

Mrs. Estes was a beautiful, young teacher at Manitou High School in the 60's when I attended. She was a wonderful educator and her loss will not go unnoticed. Thank you Cyndy, for your lovely smile and caring heart.

Cyndy, you will be missed by so many people. Being in the book club with you was such a special time for me.....because of you.

Growing up and going to school in a small town such as Manitou Springs, it was truly a delight to know and be acquainted with such a classy and caring Lady. She always shared a beaming smile with all those she encountered and had the most sage advice for the troubling times of a young adolescent teen .
She truly was a gem and well repsected educator that always seemed to be able to help people feel better about themselves just by knowing Ms. Estes

I have so many memories of my dear friend Cyndy I don't know where to begin. I was planning to see her in July when I visited Colo Springs. I am heartbroken that I won't be able to have one final conversation with her. She taught me valuable life lessons on how to be a good friend, how to live, and finally, how to die. Cyndy, you are in my heart always.
