She loved animals just as much as she loved people, especially her cats, dogs and fish. Cynthia loved sports, hanging out, playing her lottery numbers and playing cards, Deuces Wild being her favorite game. There was nothing on this earth that she loved more than her grandkids. She loved them fiercely and passionately. They were truly a blessing to her and she made sure she demonstrated her love for them everyday. Cynthia had the ability to make both her girls and all her grandkids feel as if they were number one in her life. When they needed her, she was right there.
