Cindee Lee Sweeney went home to be with Jesus on Tuesday, December 18th, 2012 early in the morning at the Monroe Clinic Hospital after a long courageous battle with cancer. Cindee was born on December 21st, 1970 at St. Clare Hospital in Monroe. She graduated from Black Hawk High School in 1989 and currently was attending Purpose Institute Bible College. She was married twenty-one years to Sam Sweeney.

Cindee loved God and enjoyed worshipping Him. She faithfully served and ministered for seventeen years at The Potter's House United Pentecostal Church. Cindee loved and adored her six wonderful children, Tonya (22) (Rob) Schuetz, Tasha (19), Tanner (17), Teearia (12), Teegan (7), and Teyton (Teyt, Cindee's miracle baby, 21 months). Cindee valued her time spent with family, especially outdoors at the parks, taking care of her children and spending every moment with them. She enjoyed cooking, baking, jet-skiing, and four-wheeling.

Cindee is survived by her mother, Angie (Peterson) Ritschard, her three brothers, Todd (Patty), Jamie (Michelle), Ryan (Deborah) and her two sisters Holly and Kelli Ritschard. Cindee had nineteen nieces and nephews and six great nieces and nephews.

Cindee inspired many by faithfully living and trusting God through everything. Her children are so grateful for her encouraging example to read God's word and to grow in relationship with Jesus. She will be remembered for her joyful and sweet spirit.

2 Timothy 4:6-8 (KJV)

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

The visitation will be held Friday (Today) Dec. 21st from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at The Potter's House United Pentecostal Church, W6540 Smock Valley Rd. Monroe, WI.
