Cynthia Thompson VUTSINAS

VUTSINAS, Cynthia Thompson After valiantly fighting brain cancer for over 11 months, Cynthia, age 52, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, May 31st. Preceded in death by her mother, Dorothy, Cindy leaves many family members and friends to mourn her passing and to celebrate her life of faith and service. Evan, her best friend and husband of nearly 30 years, is left with so many wonderful memories. Together since the 11th grade, the devoted couple married after Cindy graduated from Clemson University in 1980. Mrs. Vutsinas was so proud of their two sons, Christopher and Steven. In fact, her career outside the home began with the sole purpose of helping to fund the education of her boys at Montgomery Bell Academy. Seeing Chris graduate from Clemson and then marry his college sweetheart Megan, and seeing Steve graduate Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Florida, were some of Cindy's proudest memories. In addition, Mrs. Vutsinas is survived by her father, Marvin and his wife Joyce. Their nightly phone calls and frequent visits helped to make Cindy's last months comfortable. Throughout their adult lives, but especially during her illness, Cindy's sister Carol was her confidant, friend and devoted caregiver. Recently spending quality time with step-brother John and his family was a source of pleasure for Cindy. Generous and selfless in life and in death, and always content to quietly lead by example, Cindy has donated her body to the University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital for medical research, knowing that her soul and sweet spirit will forever reside in Heaven. A service to celebrate Cindy's life will be held at Hermitage United Methodist Church - Fellowship Building, 4250 Andrew Jackson Parkway, Hermitage, TN 37076-2204 on Saturday, June 5th at 11 a.m. Friends and family are invited to support Alive Hospice of Nashville, 1718 Patterson Street, Nashville, TN 37203-2926.
