Cindy Wheatley, who is the Parma Mayor’s Citizen of the Month for April, has worked at University Hospitals (UH) Parma Medical Center since 1977 and is currently a cook at the hospital’s Seasons of Life Hospice. Even while she works full time and is the primary caregiver for her own mother, Cindy always has time to bring special treats to hospice families and to spread warmth and kindness wherever she goes. Mayor Tim DeGeeter presented a proclamation from his office and Ward Nine Councilman Jeff Crossman presented a proclamation from City Council. Wheatley was accompanied to the City Council meeting by UH’s Charlene Krueger, who nominated her, and co-workers Sharon Secura and Mary Jo Verbofsky. Her life-long best friend, Linda Zassick, and Linda’s daughter, Jackie, also accompanied her.
