Known to many as “Momma Cindy”, she had big heart for everyone and always had a welcoming home with open arms to all (despite her “organized clutter”). She had a passion for sewing and collecting rocks as well as spending time in her yard amongst her abundant amount of flowers. She was an avid Tik-Toker with lots of followers! Most of all, Cindy loved her family and friends. She was an amazing mom who loved spoiling her grandchildren. Cindy had a strong and unique presence that may have seemed like chaos to strangers, but to those who knew her she was an ostentatious and wonderful woman loved by so many.
