Cynthia ‘Cindy’ Anderson

In the early morning hours of Friday, Aug. 26, 2022, just days after her 70th birthday and one month following a stage 4 rare cancer diagnosis, Cynthia “Cindy” Anderson gained her wings unexpectedly with her daughter and son-in-law by her side in the comfort of her home.

As an extraordinary mother, devoted educator of 35-plus years, and loving friend to many, Cindy was passionate about giving her time to others, making the most out of every moment, and fighting for her beliefs.

Her energy and presence lit up a room, her quirky humor (notably her puns!) made us groan AND chuckle, and her warmth and light left a lasting impression on those who were lucky to know her.

She cherished years living in Miami, Jupiter and also Gainesville at the University of Florida, where she not only earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in education but also met her best friend and partner in life, Stephen. Following the births of their children in ‘87 and ‘90 and Steve’s unfortunate passing in ‘95, she raised her young children alone but thrived despite the challenges she faced.

She was always drawn to nature and had a fondness for traveling, animals and gardening, and thoroughly enjoyed her 60s and 70s tunes.

Prior to retiring in 2014 to the mountains of Ellijay, she treasured her Florida teaching career at several schools including Indiantown Middle School and Jupiter High School. She adored her students and colleagues and inspired many through her love of language arts.

She is survived by son, Christopher; daughter, Kellie; son-in-law JT; sister-in-law, Mary; niece, Jennifer; nephew, Michael; and her rowdy fur-son, Buddy!

The world truly lost a powerful force of love, charisma, courage and authenticity. Cindy will be sorely missed, yet her memory will live on in the countless lives she touched.

As requested, a celebration of life close to nature will be organized in the coming weeks.
