Very interesting! I love unique and old tombstones. That one's unique to say the least.
Her spirit may be lingering in the Copper Creek Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona.
If she is as portrayed she may have designed it herself
I found this entry interesting. It is a good example of how while a photograph may not lie, it doesn't necessarily tell the who story. I would like to share some excerpts from her obituary which I got from Findagrave.
"Compassionate and generous with opinions, candid in speech and action, if you met her, she left an impression and always knew how she felt and where she stood. Cindy was humorous and witty, intelligent and an avid reader of mystery murder novels. She enjoyed cooking gourmet meals for friends and family"
"...Cindy rode motorcycles, owned and operated two restaurants in Arco, Idaho and Portland, Oregon. She rebuilt cars and studied homeopathy. She worked at the Magic Valley Pawn for 20 years selling people things they valued at a price they couldn't resist"
"....Cindy's unique personality will be missed by friends and family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her"
(me again) I think this gives a much fuller picture of Cindy than the photograph of her marker did. I do want to thank the OP for this submission because otherwise I would not have learned about Cindy. I wish that I could have known her.
RodeoMan: Thanks for your research and taking the time and interest to share with all of us, what you found.

I’d have liked to meet her!
Not too far from me.
You can probably visit her - she's not going anywhere!

If I ever get to Twin Falls, I will pay my respects. She travelled further in her abbreviated but full life than a lot of people with a lot more resources and opportunities.

I don’t know if this is tongue in cheek, but I think it is most likely correct.
We won’t know till we join her!

When I saw the picture I thought it represented more what the obit says than anything else. My daughter-in-law is a very quiet, shy, kind person and would LOVE this headstone. She simply likes all that 'emo' stuff.
Interesting how one's frame of reference affects their interpretation of a photo.
