Cynthia Pool Obituary
Cynthia A. Pool
March 27, 1963 - December 29, 2017
Beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Born in North Forestville, Maryland she became a proud Cornhusker whose heart never left the Hawaiian Islands she first experience only months after her birth thanks to being born into a Naval family. The exotic locales of her early years (Honolulu, Subic Bay and Midway Island) fueled a lifelong love of travel, be it for work, Nebraska Football or continual returns to the 50th State.
She first came to Nebraska in 1969 as the family transitioned from military transients and laid down roots in the hills of Papillion. She graduated from Papillion High in 1981 then attended the University of Nebraska where she welcomed an additional layer of family into her life through the sisterhood of Phi Mu sorority. After graduation in 1985, she began a long career with the Principal Financial group, moving from Des Moines to San Antonio before settling in Colorado Springs where she could marvel in the majesty of the Rockies and take long walks with her dogs, first Murphy and later Lafayette who she rescued in 2012. While based in the mountains, her professional pursuits later required her frequent trips to India and the Philippines, discovering each region's exotic charms and mysteries with relish.
She is survived by her parents Chuck & Jackie Pool of Papillion; brother Chuck Jr., his wife Laura and children Kevin (wife Casey and son Kaleb), Cameron, Kelli and Courtney of Pearland Texas; and sisters Kathy, her husband Kelly Anderson and children Ashley and Michael of Firth; and Jennifer and daughter Melanie of Papillion who knew her as a devoted sister-in-law and aunt.

Cindy and I met in 1989 in San Antonio. While our paths went separate ways over the years, I have many fond memories of times we shared since them. It seemed each time we were able to meet over the years, there was always joy and laughter. Please accept my condolences and know that she will be remembered fondly.

Cindy was truly an amazing colleague but an even better friend. We worked together as peers for over 20 years, and found time to always talk about Nebraska football. I'll remember her smile and her laugh, both lit up a room. My thoughts go out to the entire Pool family.

Cindy was cherished and will be missed by everyone who came in contact with her. Her openness and acceptance of people and cultures, her knowledge and work ethic, her wit and laughter, her insight, kindness, and generosity, that smile that just lit up her face, and sharing the joy of living life with family and friends. May we cherish the memories as time calms our aching hearts.

Cindy was a great friend and mentor. We became fast friends after meeting and found so many common interests. I'll never forget our adventures throughout India and couldn't have asked for a better travel partner. My deepest sympathies go out to the Pool family during this difficult time.

Cindy was an amazing person and a good friend. She was always up for an adventure. I will always think of her when visiting the beach as I know that was one of her favorite places. She will be missed. My thoughts are with the Pool family.
