A proud Green Wave, Cindy was a 1975 graduate of Narrows High School. After graduating from high school, Cindy went on to graduate from New River Community College with her associates degree in Secretarial Sciences. In 1971, Cindy’s parents opened Narrows Flower & Gift where she built her career in floral artistry over 53 years. Cindy was the soul of the flower shop and she dearly loved having her art bring joy to so many people’s lives and being a part of so many occasions in the community. Through the flower shop she made many lifelong friends. She was an active member of the First Christian Church in Narrows, where she met her beloved husband, Leon.
She was also an active member of the Narrows Junior Women’s Club, where she engaged in many philanthropic and community activities to benefit the Giles County Community. Cindy was also a former member of the Progress In Narrows Now and the Narrows Business and Professional Association. Most proud of her son, Jonathan, she was involved in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts as a leader for many years and as a Band Booster member for the Narrows High School band.
Left to treasure her memory are many special cousins, friends, her dear friend Harold Leist, and her beloved, grand-dog Oreo.
