She had retired from D & L after 30 years of committed service in the Quality Control Department. Then she joined the team at Oneda Corporation in Columbus, GA as Lead Technician.

Always on the move, she was also an active member of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the C3 117 F.A. We knew her by several different names to include, wife, Mama, MeMaw, Firecracker, Our Queen AKA “Boss Cindy”. One of her favorite games was 3 Card Poker, where she enjoyed losing as much as winning.
