Cynthia K. Reppen 6/3/63 – 9/19/20 of Baraboo
Cyndi gained her angel’s wings on September 19, 2020, after a series of heart-attacks and left this world peacefully at UW Hospital.
Cyndi was by far the social butterfly of her 3 sisters. She thrived on gathering with family, friends, and loved ones. She enjoyed planning a party almost as much as being there. She was always one to lend an ear, give a shoulder, or serve up a fantastic meal. She was truly gifted in the kitchen. At family events, no one ever left hungry from Cyndi’s house. She also had a talent with crafts; sewing, cross-stitch, and many other mementos she gave to family and friends. She loved holidays; Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Most of all, Cyndi lived for love. Cyndi existed by the Mother’s Code and only found happiness if she knew her children were happy. Her pride and joy were her son, Allen, and daughter, Amber, and most of all her “Princess Peanut” granddaughter Gabriella. Over the past 15 years, her fondest role was being a Nana to Gabbie. The two had many adventures together, fun times of laughter and joy, and cozy times at home. Cyndi was the sunshine in so many lives, especially to her late husband Kelly Reppen. From his passing, Cyndi suffered a great loss.
Cyndi will forever be remembered as the constant voice of encouragement, love, and faithfulness. She found strength in her family and in Christ. God was her light and savior. Together, Cyndi and Kelly celebrated God by prayer, music, and congregation.
Though Cyndi left us far too soon, we find peace that she has been reunited with her hero, Kelly. One of the last messages she gave to her family was “we all live not that far apart and we need to get together more often.” We will miss her kind heart, her unforgettable smile, and her loving bear hugs. Cyndi was a mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and daughter. She is survived by her son Allen Zautke and fiancée Haley Hartwell, daughter Amber (Zach) Beloungy, granddaughter Gabriella Zautke, sisters; Geri (Sherwood) Slager, Patricia Williams, Candi Fuller, and mother Gliceria Fuller. She’s also survived by several cousins, nieces, nephews, her beloved cats Nala and Molly, and many adored friends. She is preceded in death by her father, James Fuller, and husband, Kelly Reppen.
At a later time, the family will host a memorial and celebration of life for Cyndi. The family would like to give their appreciation to the compassionate ICU nurses at UW Hospital.
Our deepest sympathy to Cyndi’s family and friends of which there were many. You could always count on her bright smile at our bunco games. She just lit up the room. Her laughter was infectious. She will be deeply missed. People walk into your life and leave a mark on your heart. Truly she was one of those. Sincerely, Marlynn & Les Tesch, Kathy & Chris Christy
Cyndi was such a loving and caring person, she will be missed.
My heart goes out to Amber and Gabby and Allen. May you find peace in your good memories of her. We will miss her in out bunco group. She was a lovely person.
Cyndi managed to stay “up” even when she was “down”. Her final years were a struggle but she did not give up. She radiated love and hope. She never lost her faith. She is at peace now. No more strife.
I still cannot believe my friend (aka sister and partner in crime “PIC” is gone. I remember her last words to me in the hospital “we are not friends we are sisters”. Fly high Cyndi and you are deeply missed I think of you everyday as I always have and you will be with me in ihe sewing room in spirit . Watch over your family and keep them safe. 😢❤💜
I will miss her. I hope she can find Bunco Babes in heaven.
She was the first parent I met when I was teaching her daughter Amber. Such a sweet, giving person. Prayers and blessings to Amber and the whole family.
O boy I am so saddened to hear of this loss. Cindy had a huge heart of love and care for others and always made me feel welcomed in the house of the Lord joining her on the praise team. It’s hard to think of a world without Kerry and Cindy. I am glad they are together now. Love to her kids, who witnessed two special people during a special time. Rest easily dear Cindy.
My heart breaks that her last years were so sad. Losing Kelly and experiencing family strife stole her quick giggle and ebullient joy.
Sendung comfort to all who loved her! Special hugs to Gabbie!
Sending prayers at this difficult time. May Cyndi Rest In Peace.
Cyndi was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. She was the first one to get me to try lemon bars and fall in love with them. She will always be remembered and loved.
We will all miss her loving smile and kind heart. Ill also miss her beautiful Christmas ornaments. Rest in peace our sweet Cyndi we love you ❤️
