Cynthia was a loving and dedicated wife and loved her children, grandchildren, family and friends more than they knew.

Cynthia also kept her husband of 39 years and 10 months well supplied with hunting and fishing gear and many tools that he did not know he would need for those projects around the house.

Cynthia will be greatly missed, but through the Grace Of Jesus Christ we will meet again in a far better place.
