For those who were blessed to know Cynthia, she will be remembered for her bright and colorful spirit both inside and out. She was a woman of many talents and much creativity. She possessed the gift of being able to work with her hands and anything she touched, from working in her flower garden and koi pond to decorating her home, was done with great pride and passion. Her many talents and creative ideas were also shared and enjoyed by her beloved Longwood University family and friends. From serving on the staff advisory committee to decorating for award ceremonies and banquets and most recently her involvement in the upcoming Vice-Presidential debate, her Lancer pride and love always shined through. Cynthia was married to her husband Val for 34 years. Through these years, they enjoyed many wonderful cruises, beach and lake trips with friends and family. Cynthia's greatest joy in life was her son Jordan and the proudest moment of her life was the day he became a professional firefighter with Chesterfield County Fire Department. Her love and devotion to her family never wavered as family always came first in her life.
