Cindy Shoop Obituary
Our loving wife, mother and grandmother will be forever missed. Cindy lost her life due to complications of a gastrointestinal infection. Cindy was born in Salt Lake City to Henry and Erma Banham. After graduating Olympus High School, class of 1976, Cindy married the love of her life, Greg Shoop, on January 11, 1977 who was always by her side. She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, and oldest son David Shoop. Cindy is survived by her husband Greg Shoop, daughter Sandy Gleason (Jeff), son Thomas Shoop (Sheara), grandchildren and Disney buddies Chandler Shoop and Sierra Shoop (Chase Adam), her bonus grandchildren Skyler, Laker, and Hawkins Gleason, her brother and sister in laws, her best friend John Potter, and many nieces and nephews who she cared about deeply.
Cindy was known for being kind, loving, and giving. Although not a socialite, she always enjoyed a good party, especially if she was in charge. She loved everything Disney and was often found singing Disney songs while doing any task, singing always made her happy. The only place Cindy loved more than being at Disneyland, or on a Disney Cruise, was being at home with her family.
Cindy thrived when working where she bonded with everyone she encountered. She spent 35 years working at Sears where she met many lifelong friends. Her biggest career accomplishment came from almost 40 years of helping people with their real estate and mortgage needs. Helping people get into their dream home brought her happiness and joy.
Per Cindy's wishes, there will be no service.
In lieu of flowers or gifts we ask that you spend time with your loved ones, you never know when will be your last chance. Cindy always said the best way to honor and remember her is to watch a Disney movie, her favorite is Mary Poppins. We also suggest making a donation to your local Humane Society, Make a Wish, or your favorite charity in Cindy's name.

My friendship with Cindy started in 1988 when I started working at Sears. Cindy was the most interesting person I had ever met. We worked in the "cash cage" we worked there just 2 at a time. We really got to know each other well. Cindy had many experiences that amazed me. One thing about Cindy that I loved was her totally adoration and love for her husband Greg. I enjoyed our friendship. She was fun to be around and she planned the best parties. She was also a good listener. The one thing I really wanted to do was go to Disneyland with her. I knew she and Greg would be wonderful Disney guides as they both LOVE Disney. I´ll always treasure our friendship. Till we meet again my friend.

We had many great times together, I have thought about her often. She has left a legacy for all who knew her. My hope is for comfort for her family that she loved so dearly. She will be remembered by me as a Friend. I am sorry that her life has been cut short. May she rest in peace.

I'm so thankful I was blessed to have a short chat over the phone with her in October. She's one of the great ones - one who is kind, thoughtful, considerate with a fun personality and a clever sense of humor. I'd forgotten that she liked square dancing - How fun! I imagine she was fantastic at it. She sometimes brought in to the office a little treat for each of us when it was nearing a couple of the major holidays like Christmas. A very special lady. She'll be missed.
My sincere condolences to the Shoop family.

Cindy and Greg have always been in the center of all things Disney in our Sale Lake Disney Club, with many great memories of fun parties at their home, with wonderful decor, lots of fun and lots of food!! Lasting friendships were made. I send my deepest condolences to Cindy´s amazing husband, Greg and to the rest of the family. Amid the grief, I hope there´s joy in her transition to a new life.

We enjoyed getting to know Cindy and Greg at square dancing in 2006. Such a fun couple to dance with. Shocked to hear of Cindy's passing away so young. Our prayers are with your family.

Saying Cindy is my best friend is way understating our relationship. She is my adopted sister. She sucked me into her Disney obsession and her family. I will always treasure our time together. Disney trips will not be the same without her. I so feel her spirit with me today at Walt Disney World. I love you Cindy and look forward to being with you again.

Cindy, I met you as a teenager while you lived in your Taylorsville home. I enjoyed babysitting your 3 children and later moved in with you my senior year in your Sandy home to help out with your kids after school. I loved you and your family as you were so good and kind to me. You put up with my intense girl moments which included bringing my full length mirror with me on the house boat at Lake Powell. I still laugh at that to this day. I'm going to miss coming over during Halloween to see you and spend time catching up. You're in a good place and I'll see you again some day. Love, Cynthia

Hi Poppy

Hey Poppy, it's Chan. It's going to be very weird not having you around anymore. I hope that you and David are together now and you are able to tell so many stories to him about what's happened over the years. I bet you're also excited to see all the pets again too. You can now help David with all of them. Thank you for everything you're done for me. I only have one more thing to ask from you. Please help David with taking care of Deebo for me. It's the most important thing I've asked anyone to do, so I hope you two are able to keep him happy for me. Thanks, Love you.
