Cynthia Dean Cole

A memorial for Cynthia Dean Cole, 68, will be on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at Church of the Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Trussville, Alabama. Visitation will be at 10am, followed by the service at 11am, with reception following the service.

Cindy died Monday, March 24th, 2025 due to complications following her chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

She was born February 6th, 1957 in Anniston, Alabama, to Lawrence Jenkins and Daisy Pearl Jenkins. She attended school in Anniston and graduated from Anniston High School in 1975. She attended Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama, and later worked for BellSouth, where she retired after 33 years of service.

In retirement, Cindy spent her time with her husband, children, and grandchildren, golfing, traveling with her sisters-in-law and husband, dancing, knitting, serving in various roles for Holy Cross Episcopal Church, and collecting museum bees. She was a beautiful, witty, kind, loving, and fun lady. It was impossible not to love her.

She believed her greatest achievement in her life was being a mom and loved being grandmother "Mimi" more than anything in the world.

She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Johnny Cole; her eldest daughter Heather (Mike) Kennedy of Birmingham, AL; her son Matthew (Nicki) Cole of Fairhope, Alabama; her youngest daughter, Annie (Thomas) Calatrello of Clarksville, TN; her brother, Dennis Jenkins of Oxford, Alabama; her sisters-in-law Rebecca Cole (Larry Don) Smith and Candice Cole (Gary) Lindsay of Huntsville, AL; and seven grandchildren: Cole Kennedy, Samantha Kennedy, Lane Cole, Olivia Cole, William Cole, Jane Calatrello, and Edith Calatrello.
