Cindy was born on June 17, 1964, at St. Mary’s Hospital to Robert Louis and Elizabeth Jean Cusic.
Cindy married her husband of 35 years Joseph Dennis (Stump) Spalding on May 25, 1985 at St. John’s Church in Hollywood. Together they had two children, Matthew Alan and Cody Xavier Spalding. Cindy leaves behind her daughter-in-law, Katlyn Spalding, and two grandchildren who were the joy of her life, Austin McKoy and Owen Michael Spalding.

She was proceeded in death by her father, Bobby Cusic, father-in-law,. Sonny Spalding and brother –in-law, Jimbo Spalding (Joyce).
Cindy worked for the St. Mary’s County Health Department for 38 years; starting her career there in 1981, one year before her graduation from Chopticon High School in 1982 as the class salutatorian. She was a loving person and her family was very important to her. She could often be found at her parent’s house for Friday night dinners, attending a ball game for her nieces and nephews, or spending time with her grandchildren. When she wasn’t with her family Cindy enjoyed spending time with her friends at the Hollywood Moose Lodge, where she was a member. She and Stump could be found there most Sundays playing cards. Cindy also enjoyed playing shuffleboard and would tell stories of her games at family events. Cindy followed in the footsteps of her grandfather, Elwood Cusic, to become a member of the St. Marys County Fairboard. She was a fairboard director for 11 years serving on the livestock committee and coordinating the outdoor vendors. During the week of the fair she could be found in the barns helping with the various livestock shows talking and joking with the many people who knew her.
Cindy will be remembered for her kindness and selflessness. She never wanted people to fuss over her but was always there to show support when needed. She was the family writer and was often sought out for help in proofreading anything from school assignments to official documents. She will be missed by many.

Stump & Family – It is just so hard to believe she is gone. It seems like only a short time ago she was President of the FBLA at Chopticon and we were getting ready to hire her at the Health Department. She did not disappointment.

I just started working at the Health Department a little over two weeks ago, and Cindy was the one who got me a place to sit and work and be situated the office, and got me my work phone! She was the sweetest person upon meeting her, and I truly was so excited to get to know her better. To Cindys’ family, friends, and loved ones, I am so sorry for your loss, and I pray that God lifts you up and covers you up as you endure the motions of a loss that nobody will truly ever understand. My heart is with you all.
I am still in shock. I have worked with Cindy for over 30 years and I am going to miss a lot of things like our talks and just our interactions here at work. My condolences to Stump and Matthew and Cody and the rest of the family. She was truly one of a kind and is going to be missed deeply.
Cindy was a lovely lady and delightful to talk to. We’re so very sorry, and wish all of you peace and happy memories.
