Cynthia Lenor Burgess, 59, of Callahan, FL, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 11th at Baptist Hospital in Jacksonville, FL, surrounded by her loving family. Known affectionately as Cindy, she was a beloved wife, mother, and devoted servant of God.
Born in Zainesville, OH to Samuel Bruno and Betty Watkins, Cindy’s life was a radiant testament to her unwavering faith in Christ and tireless dedication to the Catholic Church.
A longtime member of Our Lady of Consolation Catholic Church (OLC) in Callahan, FL, Cindy served her parish with boundless joy and commitment. Her leadership and compassion were evident in her many roles, including President of the OLC Council of Catholic Women (CCW) and Secretary of the North Jacksonville Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW). She also served as a Eucharistic Minister, reverently sharing the Blood of Christ with her community.
Cindy dedicated over 20 years to the banking industry, where her compassion left a lasting impact on colleagues and customers alike. She found joy in serving others, always approaching each interaction with kindness, grace, and a genuine desire to help.
Known for her warm smile and ever-ready helping hand, Cindy brought light and comfort to those around her. Her generous spirit and unwavering kindness will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Cindy is survived by her devoted husband of 39 years, Robert Burgess; her children, Michael and Megan; and she is now reunited in heaven with her son Kyle.
A Mass will be celebrated in Cindy's memory on Saturday, July 26, 2025 beginning at 10:00 AM at Our Lady of Consolation Catholic Church. There will be time of food and fellowship following the Mass in the Parish Hall.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Our Lady of Consolation Catholic Church food pantry in Callahan, FL—a cause Cindy supported wholeheartedly.
