Mrs. Cynthia Wassom "Cindy" Atkins

Cynthia "Cindy" Wassom Atkins, age 65, of Shelbyville passed suddenly from this life, December 30, 2023, at Vanderbilt Bedford Hospital with her family at her side.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held 2pm Saturday, January 6, 2024, at Midland Heights Baptist Church. Brother Scott Reed will officiate.
The family will receive visitors 12:30pm until service time at the church.
Cindy was born November 7, 1958, in Murfreesboro, TN, to Gerald "Hugh" and Elfreda Mingle Wassom. Cindy was a 1976 graduate of Tullahoma High School and then went on to obtain an Associate's Degree from Motlow State Community College. She was employed with Newell Brands until 2016 before she had to retire early due to a Parkinson's Disease diagnosis. Cindy or lovingly known as "GiGi" was an avid fan of the Tennessee Volunteers and the Atlanta Braves. Even with her health diagnosis and the many challenges she experienced later in her life she was always there to make someone laugh with her witty sense of humor or just being goofy, she definitely was her father's daughter. But above all these things she was a loving, devoted mother and grandmother. She loved her children fiercely and was so very proud of them both, but those grandchildren were the apple of her eye. She was a faithful member of Midland Heights Baptist Church. Gigi was a cherished mom, sister, and grandmother who will be greatly missed.
Preceding her in death are her parents, Gerald H. and Elfreda Mingle Wassom.
Survivors include children: Ashley (Justin) Youngblood, Taylor (Maria) Gannon both of Shelbyville, TN. She is also survived by four grandchildren Jaxon and Kinzleigh Gannon, Leslie and Anthony Revelo. Sisters: Renee (Alan) Baker and Angie (Mason) Bryant both of Kingston, TN. Niece: Breigh (Darren) Burns and their two daughters, Aubree and Cailyn. She is also survived by chosen sister Cathey Crick and a host of cousins.
Feldhaus Memorial Chapel is assisting the family with the arrangements.
