Cynthia's legacy is one of deep and abiding love that could be felt in every hug, every handwritten note, and every thoughtful act of kindness. She was the steady heart of her family-- the one who remembered every birthday, hosted gatherings, offered wise counsel and prayed faithfully for those she loved. Her creativity was not just a hobby, but an expression of her care for others; through fabric, thread and paper, she stitched together memories that her family will treasure for generations. Her unwavering devotion to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren was evident in her pride she took in their accomplishments and the comfort that she provided during life's challenges. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit lives on in the traditions she created the values she instilled, and the love that continues to bind her family together.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to First United Methodist Church of Grand Prairie in her memory.
