Cynthia Sue Braden

Cynthia Sue Braden, our beautiful mother, wife, grandmother, and friend to all, returned home to her Father in Heaven on Thursday, May 19, 2022.

 Mom was born on Nov. 22, 1950, in Cincinnati, Ohio to Warren Edward and Isabelle Rose Cordes.

 Mom graduated from Deer Park High School in 1968. After high school, she attended the nursing program at Brigham Young University until she was married and began her family. 

 She married Robert J. Morrow, and they were blessed with three beautiful children. They later divorced, and on April 2, 1984, she married Robert M. Routson, who brought four children into the marriage. They had one child together, raising all of their children on the farm in Weiser, Idaho. They later divorced, and she was married to Kevin Douglas Braden, who brought three adult children into the marriage, on Feb. 21, 2012, in Ogden, Utah. They lived together in Clayton, Idaho, until her passing.

 Mom could sense the loneliness in others and made all she knew to feel they were special and loved. Her children and grandchildren were the joy of her life, and she loved them to visit and especially sing to her. She was the happiest in the outdoors with family and friends enjoying life and laughing.

 She is survived by her husband, Kevin Douglas Braden, her siblings Debby and Warren, her loving children Gail, Sharon, Curt, Karen, Robert, Nathan, Isabela (Brei), Michael, David, Kathlene, and Daniel, as well as her 29 grandchildren; Jimmy, Jack G., Isabelle, Alexander, Sophia, Spencer, Morgan, Grant, Mckinney, Ella Grace, Chase, Tyler, Kaitlyn, Melanie, Dylan, Grant (Buddy), Brylei, Addyson, Cruz, Quinn, Ashtin, Mayalin, Tyler, Kalab, Conner, Chase, Chance, Christen, and Kennedy.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Warren and Isabelle Cordes.

 A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on June 4, 2022, at 605 N. Idaho St., Wendell, Idaho 83355, with Bishop Slade officiating.
