Cindy was born on August 30, 1958 in Danville to the late John and Betty Chandler. Cindy was a lifetime resident of Milton, NC. She graduated in 1976 from Bartlett Yancey High School and worked at Danville Regional Medical Center for 31 years. Cindy fought a vigilant battle with brain cancer for 18 years. She will long be remembered for her faith and testimony during this time. Cindy was a loving wife, mother, and friend to many. She was a very active member of Shiloh Baptist Church. Cindy patterned her life by two commandments. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength" and "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Cindy was eager to help her fellow person and always did it modestly with no desire for recognition. Cindy is survived by her husband Robert J. "Bobby" Smith of the residence, two sons, Daniel R. Smith and John R. Smith of Milton, NC, two brothers, Ricky A. Chandler and wife Cathy of Cascade, VA and Gary W.
