Known to her family and friends as "Cyndie", she lived life with a joyful heart, a sweet smile and boundless compassion for the well being of so many. Cyndie spent her heart’s energy caring for her loving family and guiding so many during her career with the American Cancer Society.
Born January 27, 1962 in Austin, Texas, Cynthia Jan is the daughter of A.J. Pollan and Myneka Allyene (Payne) Pollan.
Cyndie is preceded in death by her Grandmother Gladys Boone whom she adored, her mother “Micki” Payne, her father A.J. Pollan and her niece, Peyton Floyd.
Cyndie is survived by her husband, Roy G. Abernathy; her two daughters, Blair and Eva; two brothers, Robert N. Floyd, and James R. Floyd, and their families, along with husband Roy’s brothers, sisters, and their families.
We pray she knows how much we love and miss her, that the shimmering light she now rides leads quickly to grace and that the great mystery of love, life and time are revealed and received with poise, a tear and a chuckle.
