Cindy Hoban
Cindy Hoban, age 77, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at Samaritan Bethany.
Cindy was born on September 16, 1948, in Hudson, WI to Bill and Shirley (Mentink) Enloe. She attended a one-room schoolhouse before graduating with the Class of 1966 from Hudson High School. She later completed her LPN nurses training in Red Wing, Minnesota and began working at Methodist Hospital, where she met her future husband, Dan Hoban.
Cindy and Dan were united in marriage on June 16, 1968, in River Falls, WI. Together they built a life centered on family, laughter, and love.
Cindy began her career as a nurse before dedicating 33 years as an in-home daycare provider. She later worked as a para at Folwell School. Cindy clearly loved children and found great joy in caring for and teaching them throughout her life.
She had a special gift for nurturing, not only children, but also her beautiful flower gardens. Cindy enjoyed reading, playing cards, attending her grandchildren’s sporting events, and in her later years, day camping and spending time with her beloved cats. She and Dan shared a love of travel, especially trips to Alaska, Hawaii, New York, and several memorable cruises.
Cindy will be remembered for her bright blue eyes, her big smile, and her fun-loving spirit. She loved to laugh, was kind-hearted and curious, and was always eager to learn something new. She was a fantastic grandma who created fun traditions and treasured moments with her grandchildren. Her sweetness and warmth will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Cindy is survived by her loving husband, Dan; daughters, Becky (Brett) Greseth and Debby (Gregg) Houdek; son-in-law, Darrin Herrera; grandchildren, Megan, Braeden, and Mason Greseth; Alex and Lucas Herrera; and Brenna and Will Houdek; siblings, Bill (Beth) Enloe, Chuck (Jody) Enloe, Rachel (Eric) Hohnstadt and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Chris Herrera; sisters, Debi Enloe and Ginny Enloe; and her parents, Bill and Shirley Enloe.
A Celebration of Cindy’s Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home, 1105 12th St. SE, Rochester, MN. Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service.

Such a beautiful smile and twinkling eyes! She will be sorely missed. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I met Cindy in August of 1966 when we both went to nurses training in Red Wing. We moved to Rochester to work at Methodist hospital and there we both met our husbands who were best friends. We stood up for each other at our weddings. We raised our families together, Cindy did daycare for me for many years, we camped together we played cards together we raised our families together. We supported each other through good times and a few bad times. We moved to Northern Wisconsin in 1982, but remained best friends. It really helped when our cell phones no longer had minutes to pay. We could talk on the phone for hours. I had a few health issues and I would go to Mayo clinic, stay with them, and Dan would be my chauffeur to the clinic and back. They would come up to see me about once a year, and I would go to their family campouts every year. God I'm going to miss her. She was a special friend to me that most people never have. I love her so much, and we'll miss her tremendously. May God bless you Hoban and Enloe family
Dear Dan, Becky and Debby, I was so sad to hear of Cindy’s passing. She was so special to us, having been Lindsey’s day care mom from toddler days thru kindergarten. She had such a special way of making the kids there feel like part of a family. I never saw her tired or exhausted from long days which had to be sometimes stressful. She had such a kind way of making Lindsey feel special. Thank you for sharing your wife and mom with so many other kids. With love, Robyn Floyd
My heart goes out to you, I am so sad for your loss. My thoughts and prayers for your family. ❤️

We had the pleasure of meeting Cindy at the Samaritan Bethany care facility while Jan was in the rehab program. We discovered we shared so many things with her and her lovely family. It was an instant friendship. We loved our time together and wish it had been so much longer. She will be missed. Endless love to the family.
Cindy was such a sweetheart. Always so. happy and uplifting. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Cindy will be missed by anyone who was lucky enough to know her. Her smile would light up a room which she passed on to her three daughters. I always felt her genuine love for all those she touched. Thanks to the entire Hoban family to allow us to be part of your family. My condolences go out to all of you.
