Cynthia “Cindy” Denise Wood, beloved wife, devoted mother, proud Mimi, and a quiet source of grace in the lives she touched, entered her heavenly home on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, wrapped in peace and surrounded by love. She was 67.
Her life reflected kindness—soft‑spoken strength, steady compassion, and a heart that always seemed to have room for one more person to care for. She created warmth wherever she went, whether through comforting words, a thoughtful gesture, a stranger needing to be noticed, or the simple way she listened with her whole heart.
As a wife, she was a true partner – faithful, encouraging, and endlessly loving. As a mother, she was a gentle guide, a safe place, and a constant reminder that love is shown every day in the smallest, most meaningful ways. Her children, Jeremy and Emily carry her light within them, a glow that will never be dim.
She was the best Mimi to her two grandbabies, and she never missed a chance to tell them how much she loved them. She was so proud to be their Mimi, and always showed them a love that was true, deep, and unconditional – a love bigger than words can express.
Those who knew her felt the sweetness of her spirit. She had a way of lifting burdens without calling attention to her own, of offering hope without needing recognition. Her presence was a blessing; her absence is felt deeply.
She is survived by her husband of 34 years Jeffrey “Jeff” Lane Wood, her son Jeremy (Mikkayla) Wood, her daughter Emily (Donovan) Patterson, her two grandchildren that she absolutely adored, Brady and Avery. Her mother, Clara Keef-Prince, and her mother-in-law, Birdie Kastler, her brothers Gary (Kim) Prince, Bruce (Tracy) Prince, and Michael (Stephanie) Prince, sister Libby (Keith) Trundle, sisters-in-law, Terese and Leanna. Her nieces and nephews treasured and loved deeply: Lindsey, Brandy and Cole, Blake and Emma, Kris and Jacob, Maggie and Mason, Lacrecia and Joseph, who will forever cherish her memory.
A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM in the Larry Moore Memorial Chapel of Moore Funeral Home, where family and friends will gather to honor her gentle soul and the heavenly peace she now knows. Brother Josh Devlin will officiate the service. Cindy will be laid to rest at Hooker Cemetery.
The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Saturday from 12:00 PM until the service hour.
Her love remains—soft as a whisper, bright as morning light, eternal as the heavens she has entered.
Gary Prince, Bruce Prince, Michael Prince, Blake Trundle, Jacob Prince, and Donovan Patterson will serve as pallbearers. Keith Trundle and William Burrell will serve as honorary pallbearers.
Instead of flowers, please consider a donation in Cindy’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Center.
