Cindy Rutherford Jenkins, aged 52, of Live Oak, FL, passed away on Thursday, November 6, 2025. Born in Norton, Virginia to Donnie and Geneve Rutherford, Cindy dedicated her life to serving others. She worked in Law Enforcement for several years, including time as a Sheriff's Deputy for Suwannee County. In recent years, she found fulfillment as a compassionate caretaker, ensuring the safety and comfort of those around her.

Cindy cherished spending time with her children and grandchildren, indulging in her love for movies, particularly horror films. She enjoyed playing card games and visiting her favorite place, the beach. Known for her feisty and thoughtful nature, Cindy never forgot a birthday and delighted in spoiling her grandkids at every opportunity. Her family and friends remember her as a loving and caring individual.

She is survived by her parents, Donnie and Geneva Rutherford; her daughters, Laken (Joseph) Kremer and Jordan (Sean) Messer Lang; her son, Lamar Jenkins; her sisters, Donna Smith, Joyce Greke, and Vicki West; and her beloved grandchildren, Theodore and Alice Kremer. Cindy was of the Christian faith and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
