Upon graduating college Cindy went on to work in the manufacturing industry and devoted most of her career as a team leader/supervisor to Ohi-America (G-Com) where she was employed for 20+ years.
Cindy was both a devoted mother and loving sister who loved her family dearly. Cindy had an infectious smile that accompanied her great sense of humor. She was an avid chess player and had class and style that was out of this world.
She never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand wherever one was needed, no matter what it was. Cindy, in fact, was well known by both family and friends alike as “the interior decorator” because she was who everyone turned to and relied on to help decorate their homes. Cindy leaves to cherish her memory one daughter: Lorene (Beanie) Jackson; eight sisters: Wanda Jackson, Blanche Jackson, Anita Booker, Terrie Jackson, Donna Jackson, Alice Jackson, and Melanie Barnett; two brothers Freddie Williams and Thomas Barnett; two aunts: Bernice Combs and Geneva Smith; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
