Cynthia Kay Granger
Cynthia Kay Granger, age 65, died at home without pain on Nov. 26, 2021, with her daughter, son-in-law, and friend of many years, Tim Zweber, at her side.
Cyndi was a strong, smart woman, who had a beautiful smile and never said anything bad about anyone. She had fought breast cancer since 2011, and her treatment nurses knew her as the positive-minded patient with the shortest med list they’d ever seen. Born and raised in Rugby, ND, Cyndi moved to the Twin Cities in 1974 to attend Bethel University and eventually settled in St. Louis Park. She made her career in the apparel industry, getting her start at her dad’s men’s clothing store. She was a dedicated, well-liked and respected employee everywhere she worked, including Midwest Stores, Braun’s, River’s End and, most recently, Merchology. For Cyndi, family were friends and friends were family. She was the best listener and helper to anyone -- anytime and anywhere. Seeing those she cared about happy is what made her happy, as did music and singing, Twins baseball, the joy and wonder of children, and ice cream and black coffee.
Cyndi is survived by her best friend and daughter, Megan (Dave) Hanson, her grandson and light of her world, Dierks, and her grandpuppies, Garth and River, as well as: her stepchildren Tiffany (Pat) Bergstrom and Mark (Anna) Granger, Jr. and their children; her uncle Kenny Tastad, aunt Dot (Tommy) Hagen and many cousins; her siblings Laurel (Kevin) Toyne, Naomi (Tom) Rislow, Sidonia (Bob) Burnell, Sonja (Milt) Myhre and Tim (Kristin) Smith; her sisters-in-law Susan (Jack) Stokes and Donna Granger and brother-in-law Vic (Peggy) Belz; and dozens of nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her husband and partner of 25+ years, Mark Granger, Sr., as well as: her parents Loren and Esther Smith; 10 aunts and uncles; and brothers-in-law Tom Granger, Curt Denny and Mike Schmitz.
Cyndi was an organ donor and, despite the family tradition of terrible eyesight, her corneas will go to help someone in need of transplant. Her wish was to be cremated and we will remember and celebrate her life with music and scripture at her longtime church, Vista Lutheran, on Saturday, Jan. 8 2022 at 11 a.m. You may visit with the family beginning at 10am leading up to the service.
