Cynthia "Cindy" Ann Brown-Blackmon

Psalm 124:7 states, “Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the
snare of the trapper; the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Much like the freed bird escaping its earthly bounds, on December 5th, 2022 Cynthia “Cindy” Ann Brown-Blackmon ascended to Heaven, finally unencumbered by earthly ailments and greatly anticipating the glory she would show her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Upon entering her Heavenly home, she was greeted with open arms by those she held dear yet passed before her: devoted husband, Robert Blackmon; parents, Jack and Rosetta Thomas; Aunt Pearl, and her dear Aunt Ima.

Those blessed to celebrate her life, reminisce with a smile about her sense of fun, and carry the legacy of strong family bonds and a love of Christ are: sons and daughter-in-law, Zack Brown of Watauga and Eric (Julia) Brown of Watauga; sister, Debi Kempin; and close friends, Stephanie Duncan Gross and Dina Parker.

Cindy was born on January 15th, 1958, the second of two daughters, in Fort Worth, Texas. As a graduate of Haltom City Beauty College, she took much pride in her work. She counted the opening of her own beauty salon as one of her favorite accomplishments.

In 1983, she married Jim Brown and moved to Savannah, Georgia where he was stationed in the military. While there, they started a family, and she gave birth to the first of two sons, Zack, in 1984. After they returned to Texas, her second son, Eric, was born in 1990.

She took great pride in raising both of her sons to love the Lord, pray diligently, and treat women right. Zack and Eric, in turn, have demonstrated unwavering devotion, care, and thoughtfulness in all aspects related to their beloved mother.

After the dissolution of her marriage to Jim, and while working in a salon, a persistent gentleman customer asked her for a date. She declined at first, but after several years, she finally accepted his invitation. This led to a nearly 20 year union with her second husband, Robert, that lasted until his passing in 2015.

Robert, Cindy, Zack, and Eric resided in Watauga where their home was a haven for the boys and their friends. It was not uncommon to hear Cindy referred to as “Momma” by many of their friends.

Zack and Eric fondly remember their family vacations in Jamaica where they made lifelong friends and memories they cherish.

John 14:2 states, “In my Father’s house, there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

Though sadness will accompany her loss, the family rejoices in knowing that she has traveled to a place specifically prepared for her, in her Father’s home, and He will beckon her by saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
