Cindy L. VonDette, CFNP

Cindy left this world unexpectedly doing what she loved on September 21, 2025. Cindy was a woman of immense courage, resilience, strength and love. Born in Rifle, Colorado she faced a difficult childhood. Determined to build a better life, she joined the Air Force and excelled as an AirEvac Specialist at Scott AFB, and was awarded the most outstanding USAF SAC Airman of the Year. She continued her service in the Naval Reserves while pursuing her nursing education at St. John’s, Master’s in Guidance and Counseling at MSU, and Family Nurse Practitioner at UMKC. Determined to make a difference, she became an early pioneer by owning her own medical clinic where she was highly respected and loved.

Cindy built her farm from the ground up. Deeply committed to sharing her knowledge, she welcomed young kids, troubled youth and fellow stockdog owners for hands on experiences and lessons in farming and animal care. She was honored to have her dog Peg admitted into the American Border Collie National Hall of Fame.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Cindy’s name to the Meeker Classic Championship Trials for an annual award to be given during the finals each year. www.meekersheepdogclassic.com
