Cynthia Sue Burns
Cynthia “Cindy” Sue Burns, a God-fearing woman, went to be with the Lord on Monday, December 16, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. Cindy, 65, of Charlotte, was born on Christmas Eve 1958 in Lansing, the daughter of Rex and Martha (Linden) Henderson. Upon graduating from Sexton High School in 1977, Cindy attended college for a short time before beginning her career with GM. Cindy worked on the assembly line at GM for 30 plus years before her retirement. After retirement she worked as a CNA at the Eaton County Medical Care Facility. Family meant the world to Cindy. They have endless memories of their travels together around Michigan, checking out the lighthouses, taking in the views of the Great Lakes, or just driving in the country taking in the scenery. Cindy was a movie and TV show buff, she enjoyed all the classics from Indiana Jones to Golden Girls, and Murder She Wrote. The holidays meant a lot to Cindy, she always loved spreading joy to those in need. Cindy was an active member of the Charlotte Assembly of God church in Charlotte. She loved Jesus and was very devoted in her faith. Above all she was proud of her family and all the memories that they share.
Cindy is survived by her children, Traci Zdenahlik, and John Porter; grandchildren, Alizia, Trinidy, and Xavier; mother, Martha Henderson; siblings, Annette (Joe) Cardenas, and Lucy (Brad) Jackson; niece, Kara; and nephew, Kyle. She was predeceased by her father, Rex Henderson; granddaughter, Angelina; and her beloved fur babies.
