Cindy Lilly Mahurin
MOORESVILLE -- 'She has a
strong heart', the nurse
speaking had known her only
days, but a true statement
about Cindy was never
uttered. It was Cindy's
brave heart, courageous
spirit and concern for her
loved ones that kept her
fighting a 26-month battle
with lung cancer. Even as
her body wasted, her heart
remained strong; on the
first day of July 2009, her
body finally succumbed
setting her spirit free.
She was born on June 16,
1959 in Beckley but had
lived the past 20 years in
the Lake Norman area and
worked for the city of
Charlotte's Utilities
Department for most of that
time. She loved motorcycle
rides with 'her honey';
holidays with family, laughs
with friends and pride in
her children colored her
life. Through good times and
hard times, her heart
remained strong.
Cindy is survived in this
life by her devoted husband,
JW Mahurin of Mooresville;
two loving children, Jen
Wilson, 30, of Charlotte,
Dave Wilson, 26, of Denver;
parents, Bob and Patty Lilly
of Coal City, WV; brother,
Roger Lilly and his family
of Coal City, WV; sister,
Sandy Bowling and her family
of Nimitz, WV; and countless
friends and extended family.
Through a void will be left,
their hearts will remain
strong.
Friends are invited to
celebrate Cindy's life on
Tuesday, July 7 from 6:00 to
9:00 p.m. at Cavin-Cook
Funeral Home, Mooresville. A
memorial service will be
held at 1:00 p.m. on
Saturday, July 11 at
Cornerstone Freewill Baptist
Church in Crab Orchard, WV,
as it was her wish she be
cremated.
In lieu of flowers,
memorials may be made to
Hospice & Palliative Care of
Lake Norman, 705 Griffith
Street, Suite 203, Davidson,
NC 28036 and/or any cancer
research or hospice in your
area.
Cavin-Cook Funeral Home,
Mooresville, is serving the
Mahurin Family.
