52, a lifelong resident
of the Belmond area and

to the family or to the
donor’s choice.
Cynthia Trees was born
Feb. 28, 1952, at the
Steele Memorial Hospital
in Belmond, the daughter
of Paul George and
Marjorie (Wigg) Trees.
She was one of five
children in the Trees
family. She was preceded
in death by a brother,
Terry, in 1964.
Cindy attended Belmond
Community Schools and
graduated from Belmond
High School in 1970. She
then went on to attend
Mankato Commercial
College in Mankato,
Minn., where she majored
in accounting.
Cindy was united in
marriage to Neal A. Rabe
on July 17, 1971. To
this union was born two
children, Jeffrey and
Krista.
Cindy began her career
working as
bookkeeper/accountant at
ACCO Seed Co. in
Belmond. She later went
to work for Lloyd
Anders, CPA, and the
Belmond Independent
newspaper and PSI.
In October of 1995, she
became employed by the
Belmond Area Chmber of
Commerce. Cindy was the
executive director for
the Chamber and BIDCO
(Belmond Industrial
Development) until this
past winter, when her
health forced her to
retire. Throughout her
entire life, Cindy was
devoted to her
community.
In her role as the
executive of the Chamber
and BIDCO, she relished
the opportunity to
promote the attributes
of Belmond and the
surrounding areas. She
was always searching for
new ways to put the
community in the
spotlight. Her
enthusiasm and passion
for putting others’
needs first allowed her
to work comfortably with
almost anyone. Her
willingness to lend an
open ear and explore the
ideas of others made her
a wonderful leader to
hundreds of business
owners, employees, civic
groups and volunteers
over the years.
Her passion for learning
and striving to make the
area an even better
place to live, work and
play was strengthened by
her professional
involvement in groups
such as the Iowa Chamber
Executives, Professional
Developers of Iowa,
Wright County Tourism,
Central Iowa River
Partnership, Promotion
Council, Wright County
Economic Development,
and many other groups
and organizations.
Prior to her illness,
she was looking forward
to working on the plans
for the Belmond 150th
Anniversary Celebration
and various other new
projects.
Cindy loved life and
most importantly times
spent with her family.
They had been on several
fishing excursions to
Canada, and in the fall
of 2003 they enjoyed a
fishing trip to
Wisconsin.
She was very excited
about her new
granddaughter, Molly
Hartwig, who blessed her
life shortly before her
illness began. Cindy
loved times spent with
friends, going shopping,
crafting, home
decorating, family
gatherings, camping and
going out to dinner with
friends, especially
Tex-Mex nights with her
good friend, Kathy
Boller.
In earlier years she
enjoyed golf. Many who
knew Cindy will remember
her warm and welcoming
smile and laugh, her
great sense of humor,
her passion for life and
placing the needs of
others before her own,
her wisdom and strong
beliefs, and her love of
her family and
community.

the memory of her life

best friend and
