Cynthia was kind, loving and supportive. She was energetic and loved to laugh and joke around, and she especially loved to dress up for Halloween. She was a talented cake maker and party planner, which she loved to do for her family, friends and co-workers. She would go all out and make events such as graduations and birthdays feel extra-special.

Spending time with her daughters, grandkids and all of her family was her favorite thing to do. Cynthia enjoyed watching her grandsons play soccer and football, and her special “Chick-fil-A Fridays” with grandson, Luke. She was an avid watcher of True Crime Stories
