Cynthia Striplin Victor passed away August 13, 2025 at the age of 63. She was born October 10, 1961 in Jackson, Tennessee to the late Larry Dewitt Striplin, Jr. and Beverly Ann Ponder Rives.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Victor; brother, Larry Striplin, III; step-father, Bob Rives and niece, Megan Weavil.
Cynthia found joy in the simplest of pleasures. She cherished the moments spent spoiling her beloved grandchildren with thoughtful gifts, always lighting up their faces with her generous heart. Her love extended beyond her family to her treasured dog, Gracie, whom she affectionately referred to as her baby. Their bond was a testament to Cynthia’s nurturing nature, as she poured her love into every aspect of her life.
Gardening was one of Cynthia’s passions, and in her garden, she found a haven of solace. She nurtured every seed and plant with the same care and affection she showed to those around her, cultivating beauty not just in her surroundings, but also in the hearts of others.
Cynthia’s incredible ability to uplift those around her was one of her most admirable qualities. She had an innate gift for making people feel special, and it was not uncommon for her to offer a compliment to anyone she encountered. Cynthia believed in the power of kind words and made it her mission to spread positivity wherever she went. Her sincerity and genuine intent to uplift others made her not just a friend, but a light in the lives of many.
She is survived by her daughters, Beverly Ann Smith, Katie (Adam) King and Holly (Brandon) Tubbs; grandchildren, Landon Rives, Lilly Smith, Kaitlyn Rives and Clifton Tubbs; step-grandchildren, Ryan King (Kyndal Smith) and Kelly King; step-great-grandaughter, MaeriLynn Marie King; brother, David (Isabelle) Striplin and Janet (Clay) Nottrodt and a host of nieces and nephews.
