Cindy was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 18, 1963, to Orville and Blanche (Harris) Simonton. She was the youngest of three siblings, and with her fiery spirit, the Simonton family was complete. She grew up alongside her brother, Leroy Simonton, and her sister, Diana Simonton, forging lifelong bonds rooted in love and loyalty. The Simonton family relocated to Queen Creek, Arizona, in 1973. This is where Cindy attended and finished school.

Cindy met and married Bill Trapp in 1987, and from this union, her one and only golden child, Ashley (Trapp) Anaya, was born. Cindy and Ashley relocated to Scottsbluff in 1998 to be closer to her sister, Diana, and her nieces.

Cindy met the love of her life, James “Jimmy” Lambertson, in 1999. They shared a great passion for motorcycles, rock and roll, and just having an all-around good time. Jimmy suddenly passed away in 2004. After his passing, Cindy never felt the need to seek another partner as her heart remained forever with him. She went on to devote her life to her family, finding her greatest joy in her grandchildren.

Cindy worked at Walmart for over 25 years, and most of those years she held down one or even two additional jobs. She was the embodiment of resilience and grit, never afraid of hard work or long hours. Her fierce loyalty and unmistakable personality made her unforgettable. She spoke her mind with unapologetic honesty—no sugarcoating, no nonsense, just truth.

She had a passion for Harley Davidsons, a real fondness for Fireball whiskey, and a deep love for her cigarettes and the soundtrack of her life—country music with a dash of rock and roll. Known for her tough exterior and no-nonsense attitude, Cindy was the kind of woman you didn’t mess with. However, beneath that toughness was a heart of pure gold. She was always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need. Cindy especially loved her family and would go to great lengths to support and stand by those closest to her.

She is survived by her sister, Diana Simonton; her brother, Leroy Simonton; her daughter, Ashley (Trapp) Anaya; her nieces, Melinda Simonton, Rachel Simonton, Courtney Shirkey, and Juewl Simonton; and her grandsons, whom she absolutely adored, Gavin and Jace Rahmig.

Cindy was preceded in death by her parents, Orville and Blanche Simonton; and her true love, James “Jimmy” Lambertson.

Her legacy lives on in the strength, love, and cherished memories she leaves behind. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her bold spirit, generous heart, and the unconditional love she gave to those lucky enough to truly know her.
