Lucinda Anne “Cindy” Zimmerman
Lucinda Anne “Cindy” Zimmerman, who warmly supported aging elders in her community for years, died June 27, 2026. She was 88.
Cindy was a model for the importance of people in our world who simply help, those who step up for jobs lacking in glamour, but that improve and enrich lives. She nearly wore her hands out writing hundreds of personal thank-you notes to those who donated to the Jackson Friendly Home, a non-profit residence for elderly women at which her mother had lived. After her mother died, Cindy continued her dedicated support. She served on the home’s board and took delight in taking “the ladies” on outings and facilitating sing-alongs.
She spent years singing in Jackson’s First Presbyterian Church choir and weekly assembled and printed the church bulletin. A trained and experienced secretary, she had a sharp eye for typos and failings of grammar. Her three children benefited from her talents, even as we grumbled to forever be directed to the dictionary when we couldn’t spell a word or endured constant correction when we mangled proper English.
