Cindy Lorraine Durham, age 62, of Mooresville, NC, and formerly of Worcester, MA, peacefully entered into eternal rest on Saturday, November 18, 2023. She succumbed to an upper respiratory infection and complications of multiple Myeloma. Cindy was born in Norwood, Massachusetts, to the late LeRoy and Natalie Smith and grew up in Mansfield, MA. She was preceded in death by her baby daughter, Angela, as well as Cindy's older brother, Darrell. She is survived by her loving daughter, Amanda, and son-in-law Jon, as well as her sister Karen and husband Bob, sister Jan, sister-in-law Jeannie, and her brother Roy, Cindy is also survived by her nieces Missy, Sharna, and Christine, her nephew Brian, and numerous great-nieces and nephews. In her early years, Cindy worked for American Textile in Mansfield, Massachusetts as well as a few odd jobs, before embarking on a successful career as a Massachusetts Correctional Officer. She dedicated many years of service at MCI Framingham, retiring with the position of Sergeant. Cindy cherished the friendships she forged with fellow correction officers during her tenure and often spoke fondly of those connections. You could very often find a young Cindy, in her 20's, reading books by the dozen or later in life enjoying a canoe trip down the Saco River in Maine or vacationing at her timeshare in Kissimmee, Florida. Most recently, she loved her Dr Phil episodes and never missed a Law and Order: SVU marathon, a bond that she shared with her daughter, Amanda. She loved her "trashy" reality TV and crime shows to the fullest. Throughout her life, Cindy faced and battled mental health challenges that intensified over time. Despite these struggles, she remained determined to work through them, always striving to become a more outwardly loving person. Cindy never gave up trying to better herself and her relationships with friends and family. Cindy's unwavering love for her daughter, Amanda, was evident to all who knew her, and she took pride in expressing it openly. Cindy was a vibrant, wild, humorous, and straightforward woman, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew her. Cindy had chosen cremation, and at this time, no specific service details have been determined. A memorial will be held later, and further information will be communicated by her daughter, Amanda. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to: The Mental Health Initiative (MHI) at www.mentalhealthinitiative.info Cavin-Cook Funeral Home is proudly serving the Durham family.
