Cindy was a faithful member of Perry First Baptist Church where she and her family have been active for many years. Over the years she has taught Bible School, children’s mission groups and sang in the church choir. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, working in her flower beds, walking for exercise, and feeding and watching the birds around the farm. Surviving are her loving and devoted husband of 37 years, David Yelton of Elko; her son and daughter-in-law, Zach and Maggie Yelton of Bluffton, SC; her daughter and son-in-law, Katie Beth and Justin Thompson of Arab, Alabama; and her grandchildren, Taylor Ann Thompson, Napp Yelton, Mackenzie Thompson, and Sally Yelton.
