Cynthia (Cindy) Ann Machado, age 68, of Gustine, California, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, May 24th, 2025.
Cindy was born in Turlock, California, to Maxine Weaver, Machado, Burroughs, and John R Machado Sr. on September 5th, 1956, then brought home to Gustine, California, where she lived until her passing.
