CYNTHIA ANN ROBERTS

Cynthia Ann Roberts departed from her earthly home on Friday, Sept. 10, 2021, at Parkview Hospital in Mexia.

Cynthia was born May 21, 1971, to the parentage of the late Luster R.D. Williams and Charles Ruth Quigley-Williams in Limestone County.

Cynthia attended Mexia public schools and graduated in 1989. She accepted Christ at an early age. She became a member at First Mexia Baptist Church, under the leadership of Apostle Patricia Horn-Heidgerken. She worked at the Mexia State School a total of 32 years.
