Mary Rummel

Mary Cynthia “Cindi” (Graves) Rummel was born in Atwood, Kansas on March 31, 1952, the youngest of five children born to Byron “Bike” Graves and Hazel (McGowan) Graves. She departed this life on January 30, 2019, at the Rawlins County Health Center in Atwood, Kansas, at the age of 66 years, 9 months and 30 days.

The family moved to Colorado, then returned to Atwood, where Cindi graduated from Atwood High School in 1970. She attended Colby Community College for one year.

On June 25, 1971, she was united in marriage to Kenneth “Kenny” Rummel. To this union two sons, Brandon and Brett, were born.

She was employed as a clerk at Ace Hardware, then part-time at Midwest Energy before becoming employed as a para at Atwood Grade School for 13 years and then retired from her working career after 20 years of being employed in the treasurer’s office at the Rawlins County Courthouse.

She enjoyed being around people and her many friends, but her real love was spending time with her family. She also enjoyed playing golf, fishing in her early years, cheering for the Denver Broncos, going for rides and being a homemaker.

Those remaining to cherish her memory are: husband, Kenny, of the home; sons, Brandon and wife Tami, of Hays, KS and Brett, of Winona, KS; brother, Tom and wife, Pat, of Grand Junction, CO; grandson Payton Ruder, of Manhattan, KS; other relatives and many friends.
