It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Cindy Terry Goodman, age 63, who departed this life on Thursday, April 10, 2025. Born on April 4, 1962, to the late Ezra and Arizona Hamblin Jeffers, Cindy was a woman of deep faith, abundant love, and an unwavering commitment to her family and community. Her departure leaves a heartfelt void in the lives of all who knew and loved her.
A Life of Faith and Love
Cindy was raised in a home grounded in Christian values, which helped shape the loving, giving, and spiritual woman she would become. From a young age, Cindy found joy in the simple things that life had to offer—family, faith, and fellowship. Her upbringing in a home full of music and love would influence the passions she carried throughout her life.
She was a faithful member of Paint Rock Baptist Church, where she was not just a congregant but an active participant in the spiritual life of the church. Cindy was saved at an early age and never wavered in her belief in the Lord. Her presence at Paint Rock Baptist was more than a seat in the pew—it was a source of strength, support, and inspiration to others. Whether she was lifting her voice in song or offering a kind word to someone in need, Cindy exemplified what it meant to live a life of faith.
A Passion for Gospel Music and Family Gatherings
Cindy had a beautiful voice and an even more beautiful spirit. She loved singing gospel songs, often bringing comfort to those around her through her music. Her voice resonated with authenticity and emotion, making every hymn and spiritual she sang feel deeply personal. Whether performing at church or humming around the house, her songs were her way of expressing both her joy and her devotion to God.
She also had a well-known talent for cooking, which brought family and friends together at the table. Her kitchen was a place of warmth, laughter, and full hearts, where Sunday meals and special holiday gatherings created memories that will never fade. Cindy had a way of making everyone feel at home, and her food—seasoned with love—was a cherished part of many family traditions.
Cindy’s love for reading provided her not only with knowledge and inspiration but also with moments of peace and reflection. She found joy in a quiet corner with a good book, often sharing stories and lessons with her loved ones.
A Devoted Daughter, Mother, and Friend
Above all else, Cindy was a devoted daughter, mother, sister, and friend. She treasured her family and was a constant source of love and encouragement. Her wisdom, patience, and gentle humor left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Even in challenging times, Cindy remained steadfast in her kindness and grace. She believed in lifting others up, and her presence had a way of making people feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether offering a prayer, a home-cooked meal, or simply a listening ear, Cindy gave of herself in countless ways that often went unnoticed but never unappreciated.
Her passing is not only a tremendous loss to her family but to her entire community. The legacy she leaves behind is one of compassion, faith, and love—the very things she lived for every day.
Honoring Her Memory
Cindy Terry Goodman’s life was a testament to the power of faith, the strength of family, and the beauty of a giving heart. As her loved ones mourn her passing, they also celebrate the profound impact she had on so many lives.
She now joins her parents, Ezra and Arizona Jeffers, in eternal rest, reunited in peace. Though her physical presence is gone, her spirit will live on in the voices of gospel songs sung in her memory, in the warm meals shared among family, and in the love that continues to bind her family together.
Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family in the coming days. The family requests continued prayers, love, and support during this time of grief and reflection.
Rest in peace, Cindy Terry Goodman. Your faith was your strength, your love was your legacy, and your life was a blessing to all who knew you.
