As a fifth generation Umatilla County resident, Cindy Middleton grew up in a family where serving the community is a way of life â a concept she and her husband have sought to pass along to their own children.
Middleton was one of several people recognized during the Hermiston Chamber of Commerceâs annual Distinguished Citizens Awards banquet, along with Ken Huber as Man of the Year.
