Cindy Ray Veach

IN LOVING MEMORY CINDY ELAINE (RAY) VEACH Cindy Veach went to be with her Lord and Savior on Sunday, August 30, 2020 in Medford, Oregon after a short battle with cancer. Cindy was 67 years old. She was a beloved Child of God, Wife, Mom, Grandma and Friend. Cindy was born March 10, 1953 in Dinuba, California to Dave and Ruth Ray of Orosi, California. She had an older brother, Larry Ray. Cindy grew up and attended school in Orosi. She graduated from Orosi High School in 1971. She received a degree in criminology from Fresno State University. She worked for Turning Point in Visalia, where she met her husband Greg Veach and together they owned and operated their own business. After the twins were born, she was a stay at home mom for a time. She went on to receive her teaching degree from Fresno Pacific College. Cindy was employed with the Cutler Orosi Joint Unified School District and retired after 28 years of service. Cindy and Greg were married May 7, 1977 at the Valley Bible Church in Orosi. Cindy was blessed to become a mother to Eli, Greg's son, when she married Greg. Eli was excited as a three year old little boy to get to "marry" Cindy too. She loved Eli and always thought of him as her own. She then became the mother of identical twin boys, when Jeff and Bryan were born. Cindy's mom always claimed that two babies were better, because they both had one to hold. Jeff and Bryan were smiley and chubby babies. They were full of energy as they grew and kept their mom on the run. Cindy loved her children with all her heart and they were the center of her world. Cindy was a member of Rocky Hill Community Church in Exeter. She lived a life of giving and caring as a true servant of her Lord. She participated in a Home Bible Study Group with the same set of couples for 30 years. Growing up, Cindy loved living in the country and riding her horse. She could be shy at first, but she was so warm and loving. If you were her friend, you were friends for life. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren. Her granddaughter Emma says that Grandma Cindy was a fun Grandma because she was always willing to play. Cindy loved trying new recipes, playing pickleball, spending time with her friends, traveling to the coast (especially Morro Bay), and spending quality time with her grandchildren. She played the piano by ear and loved to read, usually with one of her miniature Schnauzers curled up next to her. Cindy was preceded in death by her parents, Dave and Ruth Ray, her brother Larry Ray and her son Jeffrey (Jeff) Veach. She is survived by her husband Greg, of Rogue River, Oregon; sons Eli (Vanessa) Veach of Rancho Santa Margarita, California and Bryan Veach of Rogue River, Oregon, as well as her grandchildren: Noah, Emma, Carter and Everleigh. Cindy will be laid to rest in Visalia, California on Monday, September 14. Viewing will be available from 9:00 - 11:00 am at Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel, 127 E Caldwell Ave. A Graveside Service will take place at 12:00 pm at Visalia Public Cemetery, 1300 W Goshen Ave. In lieu of flowers, donations in her honor can be made to uturnforchristoregon.com.
