Cindy was born Christmas of '64 in Fort Dix New Jersey, as her Dad was in the service. The daughter of (the late) David Roberts and Deanna Roberts.
They later moved to Pine Point Maine. She attended and graduated from Scarborough High School. Cindy delivered newspapers and later worked at the Clam Bake. Cindy got involved with the fire department which was her dream and received her EMT license at the age of 16.
Her and her late husband Douglas Walker Sr. eventually moved to Hollis in the early 90’s and built a house. There she joined the Hollis Fire Debt where she continued until around 2004. Cindy eventually started working for American Medical Response around 1993 as an EMT, EMT advanced, then later as a Supervisor along with other certifications. She continued until around 2011 when her health would not allow. Hard for her to accept as she loved her work.
Cindy enjoyed skiing, fishing, swimming, and her motorcycle (first motorcycle at age 12), a 650 Bandit. Tears ran down her face when she had to sell it do to her health.
