Cindy Lynn Baldrica, age 53 of Commerce Township passed away on July 24, 2022.  She was born on January 5, 1969, in Livonia, Michigan to her parents, Karen H. (née Czaja) and Robert D. Petrie, III.

Cindy graduated from Plymouth Salem High School (1987) and Eastern Michigan University (1991).  Following her graduation from Eastern Michigan University she had a successful career at Compuware Corporation as a paralegal, after which she devoted her life to raising her family.

Cindy is the beloved wife of 29 years to Brian Baldrica; loving mother of two children – Hanna (Brandyn) Belevender and Nolan Baldrica.  She is deeply loved and will be greatly missed by her brother, Robert (Sarah) Petrie, IV (nieces Marian and Ainsley) and her sister in-law Catherine Besmar (nieces Reyanne and Norah, nephew Andrew).

Cindy loved watching her daughter figure skate, watching her son play hockey, vacationing with family and friends, as well as caring for any and all animals she encountered.  She also enjoyed cooking, gardening, and was an avid nature enthusiast.  Her smile, infectious laugh, and incredible hugs will be forever missed.

In order to honor Cindy’s love of animals, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, please donate to the Last Day Dog Rescue (lastdaydogrescue.org) or the Friends of Animals of Metro Detroit (metrodetroitanimals.org).
