She left this world on May 31, 2016 surrounded by loved ones who were inspired by her fight and will to live. Cindy left many marks on the world before she left, she blazed a trail of success through the business world, and she blessed those she didn't know with kind smiles and actions while prompting her loved ones to do the same. Her greatest passion however was her family. She was an incredible wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Every person who had the gift of being able to know Cindy owes her a debt. Not because she demands it, but because her legacy demands it, and debt due is love. Go out and love your friends, family and fellow man the way she loved hers. That is Cindy's imprint on the world. Pallbearers will be family and friends. The family requests that visitation be observed in Martin & Castille's SOUTHSIDE location on Friday from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM and on Saturday 9:00 AM until time of service. A Rosary will be prayed Friday at 7:00 PM in Martin & Castille Funeral Home by Voorhies Short.
