Cynthia Lee "Cindy" Stump

Surrounded by her family and friends, Cindy Stump passed peacefully from this old world, to God's celestial shore, on Friday, August 23, 2024. In an instant, her worn out body was made new and she was escorted into Heaven by a host of angels.

Cynthia Lee was born on January 21, 1952, to John and Jean Williams. Considered Irish triplets with her older twin brothers, Johnnie and Lonnie, Cindy was a proud big sister to Barbara and Brenda, who were awaiting her arrival in Heaven.

Known as a jack of all trades, Cindy trained for and worked in a number of different professions, but found the most pleasure in being a beautician and dining service director. In both, she demonstrated her creative ability and took great pride in the service she provided to others.

The greatest joy in her life came from her husband, Rick, and her two girls, Donna Jean and Barbara Ann. She was a devoted wife and treasured her girls more than anything in the world.

Her spunky, ornery personality and wit were unmatched and her generous, giving spirit extended beyond the reach of just her family and friends. "No" was never in her vocabulary...she gave freely expecting nothing in return.

For those of us who remain, we will miss her companionship; her beautiful smile and laugh; the twinkle in her bright, blue eyes; her cooking, of course; her insatiable will to live; and the impeccable strength she demonstrated each and every day that continues to inspire us.

Upon entering the gates of Heaven, Cindy was greeted by her grandparents, John & Viola and Leroy & Elsie; her parents, John & Jean; her sisters, Barbara and Brenda; her Aunt Earlene, Uncle Jerry, and Uncle Doug; her cousins, Mark and Judy; niece, Soni; and Rick’s parents, brother, and grandparents, Wilbur & Garnet, Daniel, and Ward & Ollie.
