Cindy was born April 14th, 1966 to L.A. and Catherine Walden. Cindy was one of God’s special people; she loved Jesus, Mama, Santa, and cats. Being an exceptional child did not hamper her ability to be productive and happy. Cindy was a longtime member of 12th Street Baptist Church, a member of the Sarah Barnes S.S. class, and a member of the Gadsden Aktion Club. She attended Southside High School, the Etowah County Technical School, and spent many years at the Snellgrove Civitan Center. Cindy had many friends and never met a stranger. She was an avid bowler and swimmer, winning many trophies and ribbons. Cindy always loved to travel and see many new things and places. Her love of animals led her to be a devoted volunteer and the Etowah Co. Humane Society. In 2014 Cindy was awarded the Richard Malone Humanitarian Award. Declining health eventually caused Cindy to leave her special job, but she always cherished the cats and all of her shelter friends.

Preceding her in death are her dad and beloved mother; brother, Wayne; sisters, Peggy and Pam; and very special niece, Jennifer.

Survivors include her sisters, Elsie, Doris, Debbie, and Connie; aunt, Barbara Hooks; and numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom are left to cherish her memory.

The family would like to express a special thanks to Sunday school teachers, Nancy Bobo, Ann Wells, and Saratha Grigsby; our Pastor, Thomas Winborn; and Kindred Hospice.

The family will receive friends Saturday from 1:00 p.m. until the hour of service.
