Our St. Joseph Community lost Cindy Lowder (Fasig, 1990), a woman of great presence to us all and to our community, suddenly Monday, January 16, 2023. A big hug. An encapsulating smile. A supportive hand. A laugh, hers and those she gave to others. Present for so many of us. She was also so present to a place: our campus, our churches, our homes. Cindy wrapped her arms around the place we all called home and made it warmer, friendlier, and more comfortable. For so many years, she was present there as a Booster, as an alumnus, as a conduit to the future with our student ambassadors, as a spiritual counselor, as a retreat leader, and as a caregiver to our facilities. Though we have lost this loving, giving, beautiful presence physically, she will be present with us spiritually forever. This beautiful present soul left us all too soon. She was a friend and sister to all who knew her.
