Cindy grew up in Illinois moving to Texas over 20 years ago.  She spent her life as a devoted wife and mother.  By profession she was a medical secretary most of her life.  By passion she spent her life creating keepsakes for others. She was talented and enjoyed cross stitching, quilting, doll making, creating mosaics and most recently shell art. She was a strong woman who cheated cancer for a year and a half, but the Lord was tired of waiting and took her home.  We praise God that she is no longer in pain and will be waiting for us in Heaven.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to her family, c/o Robert Palmer, 5641Baker Dr., The Colony, TX 75056.
