Cynthia Louise Kessinger Hopkins of Fort Worth died Friday, Jan. 16, 2015, at a Fort Worth hospital after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Cyndy was born March 4, 1952, in Landshut, Germany, the daughter of retired Col. Howard and Joan Kessinger, formerly of Jacksboro. She was a veteran of the U.S. Army, serving from 1973 to 1975, and serving in the Massachusetts Army National Guard until 1980. Cyndy graduated from Texas Woman's University in Denton in 1984 with a degree in criminal justice, and later served in the United States Marshals Service before turning her investigation and security skills to the private sector.
Cyndy was known in both Denton and Fort Worth for her loud voice and for being fiercely protective of her family and friends. She was a thoughtful person who always had a hug and a cake or batch of brownies ready to cheer anyone who needed it. Though she herself often refused help from others, Cyndy was always ready to lend a hand to her neighbors. She was an an avid supporter of animal charities, and was "mom" to many a dog and cat throughout her life. Cyndy was well known for her love of elephants and of the comic strip Peanuts. She was happiest when she was spending time with her granddaughter.
Cyndy donated her body to UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth.
