Cindy was a graduate of Mount Carmel Academy and Louisiana State University. Cindy always prioritized her family and devoted her life as a mother to raising two beautiful daughters. She was proud of her role of stay-at-home mom, always going above and beyond to ensure her girls had anything they could possibly need for every project or event. Cindy’s crystal blue eyes held a constant twinkle and strong sense of engagement. Anyone she ever encountered quickly learned there was no such thing as small talk with Cindy. Her contagious energy and passion touched the lives of many, leaving an unforgettable impression. As a problem solver, advisor, empath, comforter, and mender, she always knew just what to say and how to flawlessly handle any situation or challenge. Cindy had an overwhelming capacity to love and advocated with unyielding compassion for women and those facing adversity or injustices. She was a humble artist and an innovator. Her sense of style and design aesthetic were unmatched and nothing short of fabulous. Cindy’s warm presence and affection will be deeply missed by all.
