To know Cyndi was to love her and she loved you just as much. She was the kind of person that would literally take the shirt off her back if you needed it; not to mention, it was going to be a nice shirt because she was always the BEST DRESSED. She was the life of the party and loved being around people. She absolutely loved family time (even if you were a friend that means you were considered family). If you were at a distance, that just meant you were only a phone call away, but that was probably going to be an hour (or more) phone call. Cyndi made the most out of those moments and they were special to her. She so enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren. Each of them have such special places in her heart.
She will always be remembered by many family members, friends, coworkers, classmates, and so many other others whose lives she touched. Words cannot describe how much she will be missed. Cyndi will always be cherished in our hearts. Cyndi's Visitation will be held on Saturday, April 19, 2025 at 8;30 AM, followed by a service 9:15 AM, located at Ashbury Community Church.
