Cynthia Lee McKenzie

A dedicated wife and mother. Cindy found the greatest joy in caring for her family. She loved them fully, fiercely, and without hesitation. Her home was a place of comfort and laughter, and her presence a source of strength to all who knew her. She was a long-time member of Summer Hill Baptist Church.

Cynthia was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter, Lori Sellers; her brother, Jerry Connelly; and her granddaughter, Alessandra Calhoun.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 37 years, Charles McKenzie, who cherished her endlessly. She is also survived by her daughters, Christy Tarlton, Ginny Scott, and Mandi & Rob Calhoun; her grandchildren, Jeremiah Scott, Hunter Scott, and Brooklyn Calhoun; and son-in-law Cliff Scott. Cynthia leaves behind a family connected by her warmth, her patience, and the love she instilled in each of them.

A graveside service will be at Summer Hill Baptist Church Cemetery in Carthage on Monday, December 1, 2025, at 2 p.m. The family will receive friends prior to the service at 1 p.m. in the Church sanctuary. Pastor Joe Carpenter is officiating
