Cindy Frances Myers

Cindy F. Myers passed away quietly in her own home on November 19, 2019, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. She is survived by her parents, Sondra Pfeiffer of Birmingham, AL and Dr. Gary Myers of Rochester, NY, and three nieces, Elizabeth Hyatt, Victoria Bridges, and Emma Bridges.

Cindy grew up in Boston, Rochester, and Birmingham. She graduated with a BS in psychology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and then obtained a master’s degree in counseling from UAB and became a licensed Professional Counselor. She next completed a Juris Doctorate from the Birmingham School of Law and became a member of the Alabama State Bar. She loved learning and went on to become a Certified Case Manager, a diplomat of the American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians, and a Certified Trainer in Mental Health First Aid. In 1990 she began working with the Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health/Mental Retardation Authority.

In 1998 she joined Behavioral Health Systems, Inc. as Director of Quality Assurance. She joined Cigna HealthSpring in 2008 and advanced from a community-based care coordinator to a Health Services Manager II, Behavioral Health. Cindy was most notably known at Cigna for building the Behavioral Health Case Management department. She helped start the team and handpicked all the BH case managers, established all the workflows and policies and ensured her customers’ needs were met to the best of her team’s ability. Cindy was extremely loyal and never missed an opportunity to brag about her team. She was a leader in every sense of the word and her dealings with her team went far beyond the typical manager-employee relationship. Shortly before her illness, she was the recipient of a Cigna CEO’s Champions award.

Cindy was beloved by her family and colleagues. She was an inspiration to all and will be missed. The world is a better place for her example and time with us.

You are invited to join the family in an online Celebration of Life for our beloved daughter, Cindy Frances Myers. It will take place on Thursday, February 27th, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. central time.

We have arranged with her employer to create an online or phone gathering since so many of Cindy's friends live in cities distant from the Birmingham area. Our family would like to hear your favorite memories or stories about her. The instructions to access this online or phone forum are below. The family will be gathering at Cindy's home and will join the forum from there. Please let us know if you plan to attend either online or by phone by sending an email to [email protected]

We miss Cindy dearly and look forward to hearing your thoughts and memories at this sad time for us all.

Cindy's Parents,

Sondra Pfeiffer and Gary Myers
