Cindy Long Obituary
Cindy Long
October 7, 1956 – December 8, 2025
Cindy Long passed away peacefully on December 8, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was born on October 7, 1956. Cindy graduated from Victoria High School and later earned her degree from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos. During her career, she was employed by Continental Airlines and several oil companies. After moving to her beloved Rockport, Texas, she operated the family business, Shop the World. Rockport held a special place in Cindy’s heart. She especially loved the annual return of the white pelicans and found great peace watching them along the coast. The family extends sincere appreciation to Terri Clark for her friendship and assistance with transportation to medical appointments, and to Maria Nesbitt, who provided invaluable help in the past by transporting Cindy to M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston for cancer treatment.
Cindy is survived by her brothers, David Long and his wife Trish Long, Tommy Long, and Bobby Long, and her niece, Lexey Long. Cindy will be remembered for her kind spirit, her love of Rockport, and the white pelicans she so dearly cherished.
