Cynthia Dawn Frazier Honkomp was born May 29, 1955, in Biloxi, Mississippi, at Keesler Air Force Base. She was the first-born daughter to Bob and Dorris Frazier. On February 6, 2023 “Cindy”, surrounded by her family, shed this earthly body, and continued on her heavenly journey.
Cindy’s adventures on this planet began when she was a young girl. At twelve months old she traveled by boat with her mother from California to Taichung, Taiwan, where she spent most of her formative years. Cindy moved to the United States at age sixteen. After graduating in 1975 from Haleyville High School in Alabama, she made her way out into the world. For the next fifty years Cindy moved from place to place, including stops in Alabama and Michigan, but she finally found a home in Texas.
Cindy lived her life to the fullest, but her greatest love was being a mother. She went back to college later in life attending Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, TX. Where she earned both a bachelors and graduate degree in Special Education. She was employed as a teacher, and then later diagnostician for the Wichita Falls Independent School District. Cynthia Dawn lived, loved, and learned. Everyone lucky enough to have crossed her path is better for it. We will all miss her presence dearly.
Her battle with terminal breast cancer lasted over six years and is a true testament of Cindy's character. She was a fighter and a survivor who loved life. CIndy had many skills. She loved to paint, was a midnight confidant, a lover of books, a writer, spoke fluent Mandarin, and in her teens, she would sneak out of the house to play guitar at the local coffee shop. She was a talented professional who at different times was an entrepreneur, an embroiderer, a wedding planner, flower arranger, and she earned a bachelor’s and Master’s Degree when she was well into her 50’s. She was dedicated, loyal, beautiful, generous, kind, and loving. Cindy was “Sis”, “Mommy”, “Nan”, and “GiGi”. She was our heart, and she represents the best in us.
Cindy is survived by her children: Shannon Elizabeth, Philip Pennington, Frazier Honkomp, Garrett Honkomp and his wife Shanna. Her grandchildren: Whitney O’Brien, Yannah O’Brien, Grace Welch, Rowan Heacock, Conrad Pennington, Karson Pennington. Her great grandchildren: Javonn Heacock, Adiana Rubio, Eli Genewick, and Hollis Brown.
