Cindy Lee Roberts, 67, of Wickliffe, Kentucky, passed away on April 3, 2026, at Baptist Health Paducah. Cindy was born on January 31, 1959, to the late LeRoy and Dorothy Johnson.
Cindy was a devoted member of First Christian Baptist Church in Wickliffe, where her strong faith and spiritual nature guided her life. She had a heart full of love and a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. Cindy never met a stranger; she was truly a friend to all and had a special way of making everyone feel welcome and cared for.
She found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Cindy loved yard sales, where she enjoyed both the thrill of a good find and the conversations along the way. She also had a passion for cooking and took great pride in preparing meals that brought people together. Music was always close to Cindy’s heart. She especially loved gospel and country music, and she was a devoted fan of Elvis.
Above all, Cindy cherished her family. She was a loving mother, and her daughter, April, was not only her child but her very best friend. Cindy was also an incredible nana who adored her granddaughter beyond measure. Being a grandmother brought her immense pride and happiness, and she treasured every moment spent with her.
Cindy will be remembered for her kind heart, her unwavering love for her family, and her ability to make others smile. Her life was a beautiful reflection of compassion, warmth, and simple joys that will never be forgotten.
