Cindy Lee (Riffle) Spillman

Cindy Lee (Riffle) Spillman, 68, of Osceola entered eternal rest, on March 11, 2024, surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in South Bend on September 21, 1955, to the late Ray and Maxine (Erick) Riffle.

Cindy was a lifelong resident of the South Bend and Osceola areas. She married Paul Spillman on March 31, 1979, and they shared five daughters. Cindy dedicated her life to taking amazing care of her loved ones. She enjoyed going out to eat, especially to Red Lobster, planting flowers, glamping, playing online games, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. Everyone believes they shared a special bond with her because it is true, she was everyone’s “person”.
