Prior to her illness, Cynthia enjoyed going on cruises, attending events that her grandchildren participated in, talking on the phone especially to her nieces, and nephews and spending time with friends, Gloria, Maddie, Eva and Rowena. Before moving to Houston, Cynthia formed a close bond with many families in the community where she was a babysitter for many of their children, some she helped to raise until they were school age and beyond. Most of them know her as aunt Cinny and as adults still kept in touch.
