Cindy Mae Gage

Cindy Gage, 60, passed away on October 27, 2026. She was surrounded by loved ones. Born on November 19, 1965, in Arizona, she spent much of her young adult life in Florida, alongside her beloved Aunt Joy before moving to Hawaii for a time, and then spending the rest of her days in Phoenix, Arizona with her family and friends. A dedicated service member of quiet strength, Cindy proudly served in the military for 40 years, achieving the rank of Sergeant.

She lived simply, independently, and entirely on her own terms. Cindy never wanted fanfare or fuss; her favorite days were spent traveling or deep sea fishing, heading out for a good meal, and enjoying unhurried time with those closest to her heart. At home, her pets were her whole world, loved and cared for just like her own children.

Cindy had a generous, selfless heart for others. Her sister Linda was her true best friend, sharing a lifelong bond of closeness, trust, and companionship. Cindy shared that same warmth and steady devotion with her niece Crista, Crista’s husband Steve, and their children, Gavin and Madeline.

Cindy was preceded in death by her mother, Josephine Gage; her sister, Benita Gage; and her aunt, Joy.

She is survived by her best friend and sister, Linda Gage; her sister, Lupe Ramirez and family; her niece Crista and husband Steve; and her great-nephew Gavin and great-niece Madeline, along with her nephew Chad, and nieces Celina and Nicholette and her husband Frank, and their children Michael, Ellie and Mia.

She is also survived by her loved pets: Mia, Buddy, Tashi, Sue, Molly, and Toby.

In keeping with Cindy’s private, unpretentious nature, she will be remembered quietly and with deep love by those who knew her best.
