Cynthia DuBose Obituary
Cynthia Lynn (Thurston) DuBose was born in Port Jefferson, New York on October 9, 1966, to Ronald C Thurston and Monika R (Kreutzer) Thurston. Cynthia graduated from SAHS, Class of 87. She always held a passion for serving others and being an active member of her community, which lead her to one of her first jobs at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind, onto a lifelong career with the SJC School Board where she passionately drove school busses. Cynthia held many hobbies; she cherished making picture blankets, masks, and other personalized gifts for every occasion. If you liked it, she would find a way to make it!
Cynthia passed away Sunday, November 1, 2020, doing what she had loved, taking a friend to a birthday lunch. Cynthia was well known for her loving and loyal nature. She was a devoted wife, happily married to Daniel Lee DuBose Sr. for over 30 years. Survived by her parents, Cynthia was part of a large family.

It's been just over a year I found myself looking through old messages and came across a video you sent me of you singing happy birthday to Jenniffer. I couldn't hold back the tears. I wish you were still here

Cindy was one of my St. Johns County Bus Driver trainers. I only knew her for a short period of time; she was very kind, courteous, and passionate about training me to become a Bus Operator. Cindy made a couple of masks for me with the Air Force logo. I will always wear those in her memory! The Crawford's send our deepest and heart felt Condolences to her family.

I am still speechless. This is unbelievable. I just keep asking myself why, why you. You are the kind of person we need in our lives. You make the darkest days bright.
Grief is so hard, but our special memories help us cope. And I have so many childhood memories.
I love you so much Aunt Cindy!

Cindy was a one of a kind, passionate, joyful, and amazing bus driver to our students at Wards Creek Elementary. She was known for her upbeat “Good Mornings” and her amazing decorations on her bus during the Holidays. She took good care of each and every student and made them her priority. She will be missed. I will be praying daily for her family and friends.
