Cynthia Caines Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Marvin C. Zanders Funeral Home, Inc. on Sep. 7, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

In Loving Memory We gather today to celebrate the life of a remarkable woman, born September 4, 1937, in St. Kitts. She later made her home in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, where she raised most of her children with love, faith, and devotion. She was a woman who loved God deeply and served Him faithfully as a long-time member of Harvest Baptist Church in Orlando, Florida. Her faith was the anchor of her life, and she shared that love with everyone she touched. She had a gift for caring-for her family, for others, and for those who needed compassion most. As a caregiver to behavioral adults, she gave of herself tirelessly. In her kitchen, she poured love into every meal, creating dishes that brought joy and togetherness. Affectionately known as "Tanty" by many nieces and nephews, she was more than family; she was a guiding light, a source of strength, and a pillar of love. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and all who were blessed to know her. Though she has left this earthly home, her love, her laughter, and her faith will live on forever in us.
