Cindy Epley Obituary

Cindy Epley

May 18, 1957 - February 24, 2026

Cindy Epley, 68, of Morganton, NC, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Hertford County, NC, on May 18, 1957, she was the daughter of Marvin and Sarah Lovins.

Cindy grew up in Lenoir, NC, and graduated from Patterson High School in 1975. She then graduated from pharmacy school at UNC Chapel Hill in 1980, and she married her husband, Randy, on June 6, 1981. Her career as a pharmacist consisted of working at Broughton Hospital and Jones Drug, but her main focus was being a mother to her daughters, Katie and Paige. Cindy was an active member of Mt. Home Baptist Church. She loved playing the piano at church and had a special love for the youth girls she taught in Sunday school. Cindy enjoyed attending Carolina Hurricanes hockey games, spending time with friends and family at Sunset Beach, NC, and she loved spending time with her granddaughters, June and Abigail.

In addition to her parents (Marvin and Sarah Lovins), those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 44 years, Randy Epley; daughters, Katie Trexler (Josh) and Paige Epley (fiancé, Jake Blackman); granddaughters, June and Abigail Trexler; brother, Greg Lovins (Claudine); sister-in-law, Debbie Epley (Eddie Shelton) and grandson, Ethan Shelton; nieces, Caroline Morgan (Landry) and Mary Coleman (Garrett); and numerous cousins and extended family.

The family will receive friends from 2 to 3:30 p.m., Sunday, March 1, 2026 at Mt. Home Baptist Church. The funeral will be held at 3:30 p.m. in the church with Rev. Ethan Cromer officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to Mt. Home Baptist Church, 2272 Mt. Home Church Road, Morganton, NC 28655.
