November 14, 1956 - December 7, 2024
Cyndee Carr, age 68, of Little Rock, Arkansas passed away on Saturday, December 7, 2024. Born on November 14, 1956 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Theodore ''Teddy'' and Mary Lee Schwam. Cyndee's family was stationed worldwide, from Hawaii to Thailand and throughout the United States.
Cyndee was a proud mother of her two sons, Phillipp Staup and Kevin Lee Carr. The highlight of her most recent years was being a grandmother to her one and only grandchild, Richlyn Staup, who she loved fiercely. She also loved being a sister to her three siblings, Ken, Daphne and Melanie.
Cyndee was preceded in death by her son, Kevin Carr; her beloved parents; her brother, Ken Schwam and her sister, Melanie White. Her passion included sharing her family's legacy and cherished memories with others.
Cyndee is survived by her son, Phillipp Staup and daughter-in-law, Nicole Staup of Conway, Arkansas; her granddaughter, Richlyn Staup of Conway, Arkansas; her sister, Daphne Hooyboer of Washington state and her brother-in-law, John White of Little Rock.
Cyndee enjoyed working in the medical field as a Registered Medical Assistant at the VA Hospital in Little Rock and UAMS. She also taught medical assistant courses for many years. Her two proudest professional accomplishments included serving as the Arkansas State Society of American Medical Technologists president and earning her degree in healthcare administration.
As her family and friends mourn her passing, we also want to celebrate the wonderful lady that Cyndee was and share memories to carry her legacy forward. Her family is planning a celebration of life to commemorate Cyndee's impact on all who knew her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Cyndee will be missed deeply by our UAMS Contracts Administration team where she was a part of our family. Cyndee loved being a grandmother and showing off pictures of Richlyn which we all loved to see. She was a very proud mother and loved to brag about her son and all that he has accomplished. Cyndee was one of a kind and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with her and get to know her as not just a coworker but as a friend.
