Cynthia Anne Johnson-Hoying
– February 4, 2025
With heavy hearts our families are deeply saddened to share the passing of Cynthia Anne Johnson-Hoying on January 30, 2025. She was born on Christmas Day, 1956, in Lansing, MI. She brought joy and kindness into the lives of many. She was loved by all who knew her.
She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband, Ken Hoying; her mother, Lois Volpe; daughter, Rebecca (Tyler) Jimenez; and stepson, Patrick Hoying. She leaves behind brother Bob, (Debbie) Johnson; sisters, Yvonne (Cecile) Niswonger, Mary (Tom) Seeley and Evelyn Hannasch; as well as many adoring nieces and nephews.
Cindy dedicated her life to caring for others. She was involved in hospice and home health care, providing comfort and love to everyone she encountered. She lived her life with a bountiful love of nature, a deep passion for the great outdoors and a deep affection for animals.
For the past seven years, Cindy made her home in Sun City Center, FL, where she was affectionately known as "Strawberry Cindy." Her joyful spirit brought neighbors together, and her presence will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Cindy's legacy of love, kindness and unwaivering generosity will forever live in our hearts.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the Atrium Florida Room in Sun City Center from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 15. Please come and share your memories.
