Obituary for Cindy Buckner Cindy Buckner, 58 of Pinch, passed away on September 17, 2018 at the Hubbard Hospice House. Cindy was born on July 21, 1960, in Charleston, WV. After graduating from Herbert Hoover High School in 1978, she went to work for the State of West Virginia at the Division of Human Services.
She later transferred to the West Virginia Insurance Commissioner’s Office where she worked as a complaints examiner for over thirty years. Her illness forced her to retire this past January with thirty-nine years of service with the State of West Virginia. Cindy loved her family and enjoyed the years her children were involved in athletics and other activities.
Along the way she made many special friends and the memories of those days were of much comfort in her final days. Cindy also adored her two grandsons and enjoyed them very much even through her illness. Cindy’s battle with oral cancer caused unimaginable pain and suffering, but she handled it with great courage and dignity.
Along her journey, she encountered many wonderful, caring physicians and nurses who did their best to provide as much comfort and care as possible. In her final days, the nurses at the Hubbard House provided her with great care, comfort and compassion. The family appreciates all of them greatly.
Cindy was preceded in death by her mother, Imogene Shamblin; maternal grandparents, Cossie and Stella Summers; paternal grandparents, Jessie and Dessie Shamblin; and father and mother-in-law Franklin (Buck) and Barbara (Babs) Buckner.
