Cynthia "Cindy" Jean Thomas, a radiant soul whose laughter could brighten the darkest of days, entered this world on October 22, 1963, in Lima, Ohio, born to the loving arms of Robert Lee and Lorie Jane Thomas (Tobaben). After a life filled with love, kindness, and compassion, she peacefully passed away on June 25, 2026, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends who loved her and cherished her deeply.

 Cindy was not only a beloved sister and friend, but also a beacon of joy in the lives of everyone she encountered. Her spirited personality and infectious laughter filled every room, leaving behind echoes of happiness and warmth. Those who knew her will remember her for her unwavering smile and loving heart. She had a unique ability to uplift the spirits of others, reminding us all of the beauty of simple joys.

 Cindy's legacy of love and kindness lives on in the hearts of her family and the extended family at Class LTD, a community that she touched profoundly. We find solace in knowing that she is now embraced in the loving arms of Jesus, free from pain and surrounded by peace.

 Cindy is preceded in death by her devoted parents, Robert Lee and Lorie Jane (Tobaben) Thomas. She is survived by her loving siblings: Sue (Greg) Hamilton of Ontario, Canada; Steven (Kathy) Thomas of Huntsville, Alabama; and Marsha (David) Morris of McCalla, Alabama. She is also remembered fondly by her aunt, Kathi Babcock of Independence, Kansas, along with her cherished nieces and nephews: Aaron Hamilton, Laurie Beth Hamilton (Justin) Rosser, Ava, Ella, Halen, Scott Hamilton, Jenny Morris, Spencer Morris; and a host of cousins from both the Thomas and Tobaben families.
