She later served at Crittenden Regional Hospital before finding her way back to her passion for church service, working at Marion Methodist.
Cyndi was known for her love of family and friends, her joy in traveling, and her pride in watching her grandchildren play sports. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who cherished the simple pleasures of life and the people she loved most.

What a beautiful soul! I hadn’t known Cyndi for very long but our love for the game of pickleball brought us into the same circle. From the moment I met Cyndi, her infectious smile and contagious laughter drew me to her and we quickly became fast friends. She will be dearly missed. My prayers will continue for the days and months ahead for all who knew her.
Cyndi was a great person who will be missed praying for all the family
