Cindy Holmes Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 12, 2025.
Cindy Roberts Holmes, born on August 29, 1954, in Jasper, Alabama, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2025 surrounded by loved ones. Cindy was preceded in death by her loving husband of 28 years, Ralph Holmes; her parents, Al and Eulene Roberts; Edward and Betty Holmes. She is survived by her children, Brandon, Whitney and Meredith Holmes; sister, Gayle (Mark) Sloan; sisters-in-law, Carol Merrill and Trisha Conrad; brother-in-law, Phil (Libby) Holmes; boyfriend of 10 years, Jim Hermecz, along with his beloved Hermecz Fairhope family; and numerous nieces and nephews. Cindy dedicated 37 years of her career working at UAB, where she made a lasting impact through her hard work and dedication. Outside of work, she found joy in the simple pleasures of life-spending time at the beach, hosting gatherings for family and friends, and caring for her beloved kitties. Visitation will be held on Tuesday February 18, 2025 at 10:30 am at Bluff Park United Methodist Church followed by the memorial service at 11:30 am. Rev. Reid Crotty will officiate the service. In lieu of flowers, Ms. Holmes requested donations be given to any charity organization dearest to your heart.

Cindy and her family were great neighbors in Alabaster! My twin boys & Brandon were close friends and we spent a lot of time at the soccer fields! We spent time with the Mothers of Twins club. We started a bunko group and had so many fun times, especially early one morning when she came knocking and "kidnapped" us to a lovely breakfast at maybe her mom´s house? We were also members of Helena Methodist. Here are some photos the kids might enjoy. Cindy will be missed!

My beautiful fun sister in law. We have such beautiful lives to cherish with Brandon, Whitney and Meredith. We will cherish and love them while you are eternally happy free and an angel in your majestic life. I miss you and will always hold my soul and heart in gratitude for God choosing us as family. Rest in glory, Cindy. Love Carol

Cindy Holmes was one of UAB´s and Dr. Jenny Gauld´s greatest assets. Her upbeat, can-do, helpful attitude made her a perfect fit for Student Affairs and for Jenny. She also did good things for BSC after retiring from UAB. She adored her children, always, and the light came back into her eyes after she met Jim. Cindy will be missed.

I will miss Cindy greatly. She was always full of love, friendliness, humor, and frustration with electronics, which is where I came in. It was my pleasure to help when she needed it. I'll keep your family in my prayers.
