From missionary to CEO, Cindy poured her life into helping “the least of these” and the healers who serve them. Cindy was a devoted believer in Christ and that belief propelled her into a life of service to her community.

Cindy was born on August 31, 1965, grew up in Dodson, Louisiana, and passed away Friday, July 27, 2018, at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Arkansas.
