She was predeceased by her father Ed Rawlings, Sr. and her younger brother Wade Rawlings. Throughout her life she spent many years moving around the country. She lived in Hawaii, Alaska, Oklahoma, and in various cities around the San Francisco Bay Area before coming back home to the Newark, Fremont, Union City area where she grew up. She spent most of her career in home sales and mortgage lending, but earlier in her life she also studied gemology extensively and was always very interested in fine jewelry. Sindi was a free spirit, and always marched to the beat of her own drum. She was very attached to her two cats Benjamin and Ladybug and never turned down a glass of wine. Sindi had a big heart and will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Her family will be having a “Celebration of Life” at her brother’s house in Sunol, California on April 27, 2019 at 2pm. For location details, please reach out to one of her family members.
