Cindy Lou Styczynski

Cindy Lou Styczynski, age 66 of Manitowoc, passed away on Friday, November 6, 2026 at Aurora Medical Center - Manitowoc County surrounded by her beloved family.

Cindy was born on August 9, 1960 to the late Stuart and Beverly (Karnitz) Klahn in Plymouth, WI.

She was a 1978 graduate of Kiel High School.

Cindy was united in marriage to James D. Plagemann in August 1978. The couple was blessed with four children, James H., Amy, Mark, and Kristin. The couple decided to part ways after several years of marriage. Finding love again, Cindy was united in marriage to Darrell Joseph Styczynski on August 8, 1992 in Krakow, WI sharing vows at the Styczynski family farm.

She worked at a few various jobs in farm and cheese factories, until she became a C.N.A. and worked for Sunny Ridge of Sheboygan County until she retired in 2002 due to health reasons.

Cindy had a profound love for animals. Whether it was the farm work, her own farm animals or household pets, she loved them all. If it was up to her, she would have emptied her local animal shelter, just to show them the love and affection they all deserved.

Animals were not her only love. She loved being surrounded by her flower beds and vegetable gardens. Cindy was also a big San Francisco 49rs fan, especially in the Joe Montana years. You could see her rooting for her favorite team eating her favorite snack Haribo Gummy Bears. Most of all, she loved her family and will be deeply missed by them.

Cindy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the Manitowoc Fire Department, the Silver Creek First Responders, the nursing staff at the Aurora BayCare Hospital- Green Bay & Aurora - Manitowoc County Hospital ICU departments, and DaVita Kidney Care Center in Manitowoc.

Cindy is survived by her husband, Darrell Styczynski; children, James H. (Heather) Plagemann, Mark Plagemann, and Kristin Plagemann; grandchildren, April, Abby (Rowan), Joseph, Payton, Camron; sisters, Londa Coblentz, Sherry Klahn, and Penney (Randy) Miller; the father of her children, James D. Plagemann; parents-in-law, Ralph and Sue Styczynski; brother-in-law, Dave Styczynski; sisters-in-law, Lynnelle (fiancé, Dennis) Styczynski, and Luanne (Eugene) Bunnell. She is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
