My friend from grade school! We had many experiences together in school including home economics where we learned to sew, cook, and drive our teacher crazy. Being in the Future Homemakers of America (similar to Future Farmers of America), pep squad, several other groups. Cynthia was more scholarly than myself and was in those groups also. After high school we continued to have adventures (some not to be mentioned) but boy! Did we have fun! I will miss my friend deeply and know that she and Lee are back together. I can hear them laughing and carrying on. Man!
Now that you are no longer in pain Cynthia, Rest in Peace! We will get together later and once more reminisce! ❤️🙏❤️😎
Went to high school with Cynthia and graduated with her in 1965.
Our sincerest condolences to her family.🙏🙏

We are very sorry to learn of Cynthia’s death. She was several years younger than us but we remember her as one of the “little kids” who, along with us and many others, enjoyed the Sugar Land community as a great place to grow up.
