Cindi was born in July 1951 in Bremerton, Washington, to Harold Buffington and Vivian Schauer. She grew up in Port Orchard Washington, lived in Adak Alaska 1960-1964, and returned to Port Orchard, graduating from South Kitsap High School in 1969.

Cindi met her husband Robert Robinson when he returned from Vietnam in 1970. Together, Cindi and Bob (Robby) had three sons, Jeremy, Kris, and Dean. In their early years of marriage, the family lived in Port Orchard, Killeen Texas, and Korea, while Bob was in the U.S. Army.

Returning to Port Orchard, Cindi followed her sons through school, often volunteering or working at the schools they attended, including Sunnyslope Elementary, South Colby Elementary, Cedar Heights Junior High, and South Kitsap High School. Continuing her career associated with the area schools, Cindi worked at South Kitsap School District’s Information Technology Department and the Olympic Educational Services District.

Children meant the world to Cindi; she opened her heart and home to extended family and friends, and enjoyed every minute with her many grandchildren. Cindi touched the lives of many, and always had an encouraging word or made herself available to those who needed her.

Cindi’s interests included: camping, fishing, crafting, riding her Harley, reading, canning with her mom, and so much more; most of which often involved grandkids and young family members.
Cindi is survived by her mother, Vivian Buffington; sisters Debi Caldeira and Kymn Boileau, and brother Leonard Buffington; husband Bob Robinson; their three sons and their families: Jeremy and Deane Robinson, and their sons Zane and Zeth Larson; Kris and Tami Robinson and their sons Justin and Randy Pipkins and daughter Emi Robinson; and Dean and April Robinson and their sons Derek and Dilyn Robinson. She is also survived by aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and many Robinson, Buffington and Schauer extended family members.

She was most-closely preceded in death by her father Harold and grandson Kyler Robinson.
