Mrs. Cynthia Denise Blair

Mrs. Cynthia Denise Blair became an angel on Monday, July 18, 2016 at Covenant Healthcare-Cooper at the age of 57 years. Cynthia was born April 5, 1959 in New Orleans, Louisiana to Charles Flowers and Georgia Mae Gibson.
Cynthia accepted Christ into her life at Truevine Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Pastor R. B. Corley, Sr. She was a member of New Life Ministries under leadership of Pastor Rufus Bradley. She sang with the choir at New Life. Cynthia was a member of Saginaw High Schools Soul Choir, and was a graduate of Saginaw High School, Class of 1977. She attended Draughon Business College in Shreveport, Louisiana. Cynthia was employed at Saginaw Intermediate School District Head Start as a teachers aide. She enjoyed music, shopping, her garden and her family. Cynthia had big eyes that saw the entire world, a huge smile that was sunshine for us, and a loving heart that held so much passion for life. Her caring soul carried compassion for others. These are a few things that describe her beauty and its grandeur. To say that Denise will be missed is an understatement.
