Cynthia, affectionately known as “Cookie”, accepted Christ and was a member of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church of New Iberia, Louisiana. She was a resident of Cade, Louisiana and previously worked in retail and insurance sales.  Anyone who knew Cookie knew that she was incredibly kind-hearted. She was active and caring and spent most of her life going beyond the extreme to help others.

Cookie always surrounded herself with family and friends, which is where she felt most comfortable and loved. She had a bright and energetic personality and an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way. She had an immense passion for work, traveling dancing, and playing cards.

She will always be remembered for that One of a Kind Smile that would uplift anyone’s day or demeanor, which is eternally unforgettable.
