Sandra "Cindy" Johnson, age 58 of Mankato, formerly of Barnesville, MN and Fargo, ND died Saturday, May 8, 2004 at her home.

An additional funeral service will be held at Faaberg Lutheran Church in Rindal, Minnesota on Thursday, May 13 at 11:00 a.m. with burial to follow in the Faaberg Cemetery.
Cindy is survived by her husband, Dave; two sons, Kent Sveningson of Los Angeles, CA, his wife Giselle and grandsons, Brett and Ryan; Tom Sveningson of Bloomington, MN, his wife Shannon Schritz, and grandson Zachary. She is also survived by three stepchildren, Scott Johnson of St. Louis Park, MN, Keri Palmer and her husband Chris of Albany, NY, grandchildren, Collin and Reese Palmer; Michelle Johnson of Phoenix, AZ and grandchildren, Ariana and Tyra Johnson. Other immediate survivors include brother, Paul and wife Anitra Ofstedal of rural Fertile; sister, Jan and husband Omar Helgeson of Rindal; sister, Div Ofstedal of rural Erskine; brother, Don Ofstedal and his partner, Jerald Lee of Minneapolis; brother, Wes and his wife Robyn Ofstedal of Fosston. She has seven nieces and nephews, all serving as pallbearers for their loving aunt. She was preceded in death by her father Palmer and mother Myrtle.
Cindy lived a full, fun-filled life. She worked for GMAC in Fargo and Minneapolis for over 25 years. She had many friends in the automobile industry, dealers and employees ranging from Minot, ND to Southern MN. Following GMAC retirement, she worked part time for Professional Credit Analysts in North Mankato, a job she truly enjoyed and looked forward to being with her friends there.
The better part of her life was devoted to family, especially her grandchildren, nieces and nephews, her beautiful flowers, cross stitching, scrap booking and many years following the Barnesville and Mankato East Boys Basketball teams. She will be missed by many family and friends, but mostly by her grandchildren who she gave an abundance of love and caring at all times. The last few weeks of her life were a struggle, but as always she approached it in a positive manner fighting to the very end. She never gave up in her battles with cancer and she died quietly in peace and dignity with her family present.
The family prefers memorials to Hosanna Lutheran Church or American Cancer Society.
