May 2, 1967 — July 27, 2026

It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Cynthia Smith on July 27, 2026. Born on May 2, 1967, in Madison, Mississippi, Cynthia was a beacon of love, strength, and wisdom to all who knew her. Cynthia was the cherished daughter of Tommie Burnett and Josie Smith-James, loving sister to Keturah Yadin (sister) and Eric Smith (brother) who instilled in her the values of kindness, compassion, and resilience. These qualities shone through in everything she did, and she passed them on to her beloved children, Lameshia Burnett, Laneshia Smith, and KeAndrienne Smith, who now carry forth her legacy. With a heart full of love and a spirit of adventure, Cynthia embraced life with open arms. She found joy in the pages of books, the thrill of travel, and the excitement of trying new foods. These passions not only enriched her life but also inspired those around her to explore the world with curiosity and an open mind. Cynthia's three grandchildren, Armonee, Nalanie, and Island, were her pride and joy. She was a devoted grandmother, always eager to share her love and wisdom with them. Her presence in their lives was a testament to the enduring strength of family bonds, and her legacy will continue to thrive in their hearts. We find solace in the thought that Cynthia's spirit lives on in the lives she touched and the memories she created. Her unwavering love, guidance, and devotion to her family will be cherished forever. In this time of sorrow, the family wishes to share a heartfelt message from Cynthia's daughter, expressing gratitude and love for a woman who was not only a mother but also a teacher, a guide, and a friend. Her words reflect the enduring bond and legacy that Cynthia leaves behind, a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come. Cynthia Smith's story does not end here. It lives on in the daughters and grandchildren who will carry her torch and honor her memory by living lives filled with love, strength, and compassion. Rest peacefully, dear Cynthia, knowing that you have made an indelible mark on this world. You will be missed beyond words, and your legacy will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who loved you.

Only a Memory Away

So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all of my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home."
