It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Cindy Schreiber-Beck, a distinguished and dearly loved member of the North Dakota community. Cindy was a steadfast advocate, an influential leader, and a compassionate friend whose legacy will continue to ripple through the lives of many for years to come.
Cindy’s contributions to North Dakota’s aviation, agriculture, and political landscapes are nothing short of remarkable. With a deep love for her state and a genuine commitment to service, she worked tirelessly to elevate the voices of her constituents and to promote the values that shaped her life: integrity, dedication, and community.
A Life of Service
Cindy’s career in public service was defined by a profound sense of duty and a heartfelt commitment to the people she served. As a respected member of the North Dakota House of Representatives, she was known for her thoughtful approach to policymaking and her ability to work across the aisle to achieve meaningful progress. Her colleagues remember her not just for her political acumen, but for her grace, humility, and unshakable work ethic.
She championed issues close to her heart — from strengthening rural communities and supporting local farmers to advocating for safe and accessible aviation infrastructure. Cindy’s legislative work reflected her deep roots in the community and her understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the people of North Dakota.
Grounded in Community
Beyond the halls of government, Cindy was a pillar of her local community. Known for her warm smile and generous spirit, she gave her time, energy, and wisdom freely. Whether it was through civic engagement, volunteerism, or simply lending a listening ear, Cindy made it clear that every individual mattered.
Her deep ties to North Dakota’s agricultural sector came not only from policy but from lived experience. Cindy understood the land, the labor, and the legacy that agriculture represented, and she consistently sought to protect and preserve this vital part of the state’s identity.
In the aviation community, Cindy also stood out as a strong advocate for pilots, airports, and rural flight programs. Her support for general aviation and its role in connecting isolated communities demonstrated her forward-thinking approach and her desire to see all parts of North Dakota thrive.

She believed in the goodness of people and in the power of collaboration to create positive change. Her legacy is not just in the laws she helped pass or the programs she supported, but in the countless lives she uplifted and encouraged.
As we mourn the loss of such a radiant and committed soul, we also take time to celebrate a life well-lived. Cindy’s impact is etched into the fabric of North Dakota — in its legislative achievements, in its community programs, and most profoundly, in the hearts of those who had the honor of knowing her.
