YOCUM

Cindy Ruth Yocum was born in Lone Star on April 13, 1973. She went to be home with her Lord and Savior, Feb. 19, after battling colon cancer for several months.

She will lovingly be remembered by her high school sweetheart, love of her life, best friend, and dutiful husband of 26-plus years, Michael Yocum, and her children, whom she adored: son, William Michael Yocum and daughter, Ashleigh Gina (Yocum) Traylor. Cindy is also survived by her sister, Denise Bynum Green, brother, James Scott Wellborn, son-in-law, Markevius Traylor, and aunt and uncle, James and Jackie Husband.

She was blessed beyond measure with many family members and friends.

Cindy was preceded into Heaven by her mother, Nelda Jean Harrison Wellborn, father, Michael Parker, step-father, James Wellborn, and maternal grandparents William Robertson Harrison and Eddie Ruth Harrison.

Cindy worked as a high school counselor, many years, helping countless students, before following the Lord’s lead to change career paths and become an RN. She finished nursing school and was hired to be an ICU nurse when God’s plan for her was found, her journey with cancer.

Her greatest accomplishment was her family and her love for the Lord. Though she struggled in this physical body, her faith in the Lord never wavered. She has a new, glorious body, for her death is not the end but is a transition into her eternal life with Christ.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, Feb. 27, at 1:00 p.m., at Calvary Bible Church ( formerly Calvary Chapel), Mt. Pleasant (411 N Van Buren Ave). In lieu of flowers, please send donations to ccalliance.org
