Cynthia taught American History at Channelview High School for 33 years and touched so many lives there with her involvement in prom, fundraising projects, taking students to Washington, D.C. during a blizzard to see our government in action. She, along with other teachers at CHS, started Project Hope, to help students that were falling behind. After retirement, she taught at Wharton County Junior College, again touching many lives!

Cynthia loved everything about Germany, and after much research, she and our aunt Christine Kaisler, traveled there to meet long lost relatives. She took numerous trips to Germany over the years and loved every one of them!

Cynthia will be remembered as a strong, independent, opinionated, and fiesty woman! She loved her family and friends!
