Cynthia spent her entire life in Madison and Richland parishes, where she was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and dear friend to so many. She was devoted to her church and church family, especially with the children's ministry and preschool. She graduated from Tallulah High School in 1969.

Some angels are simply too precious to remain on the Earth for as long as we would like them to. God was ready to be reunited with one of his masterpieces. We must all remember that He only took Cynthia because He couldn't be away from her any longer.

Pallbearers will be Braxton Shelton, Addison Shelton, Jeremy Rodden, Larry Rodden, Dwight Clarke and Bill Ziegler.

Honorary pallbearers are Dr. Corey Albritton, Jimmy Hopson and Donnie McMahon. Dr. Mark Scurria is representing the late Dr. Sam P. Scurria as an honorary pallbearer.
