Barbara Cynthia “Cindy” Coffin

Cindy Coffin passed away at her home in Oak Harbor on June 18, 2014 at the age of 57, surrounded by loved ones, after a nine-year battle with cancer.

She was born on April 24, 1957 in Summerside, Calif., to John and Barbara Coffin.

Cindy grew up in a military community. Her father was a career U.S. Marine Corp colonel. She graduated from high school in Alameda, Calif. Following graduation, she attended the Vidal Sassoon Beauty Academy.

In 1984, Cindy moved to Oak Harbor to be near her parents. Cindy met Steve, the love of her life, 29 years ago. Shortly after, Cindy had the baby girl she had always dreamed of. After her daughter started school, Cindy began her career at Whidbey Island Bank, where she made many lasting friendships. She was dedicated to the bank for the past 24 years, serving as a compliance officer at the time of her death.

Cindy loved decorating her house for every holiday, especially Christmas. Her favorite pastimes were sitting on the deck with her family and enjoying the sun, vacationing in tropical paradises, making her garden beautiful and, of course, shopping.

Cindy was a loving and inspirational person, touching the lives of everyone who knew her. She was always content making others happy.

Cindy is survived by her husband, Steve Dickemann; her daughter, Amberly Coffin; her father, John C. Coffin; her two brothers, John W. Coffin and Kenneth Coffin; and her two sisters, Vicki Skilbeck and Debbie Branco.

A Celebration of Life for Cindy will be announced in the near future. Friends and family are invited to visit Cindy’s page in the Book of Memories to share memories and condolences at www.wallinfuneralhome.com
