Cindy was a bright light in the lives of all who knew her. She adored her grandbabies, nieces, and nephews, cherishing every moment she could spend with them. Her love for her family knew no bounds, and she remained a central figure in their lives — always ready with a warm smile and an even warmer hug.
A true people person, Cindy never met a stranger. Her natural friendliness and infectious giggle drew others in effortlessly, creating an endless circle of friends wherever she went. Whether at a family gathering or out exploring the world, her joyful spirit was impossible to miss.
Cindy found great joy in her work in real estate, a career that perfectly suited her outgoing and caring nature. Outside of work, she filled her days with music, gardening, laughter, and adventure. She loved traveling — especially to the beach.
Cindy leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love, laughter, and connection. Her spirit will live on in the smiles she brought to others, the memories she helped create, and the countless lives she touched just by being herself.
Those left to cherish Cindy’s beautiful memory are her mother, Susan Nelson; her three children, Trent Williams of Morgan City, Laini Smith and her husband, Sam, of Berwick, and Sarah Milazzo and her husband, Nathan, of Gonzales; three grand babies, Rowen Smith, Lola and Cruz Milazzo; her brother, Michael Nelson and his fiance, Corina Blackwell; her godchild, Karson Nelson; nephews, Kollin, Kameron, and Kolton Nelson; and nieces, Amber DeVille and Meagan Kirk. She is also survived by her great nieces, Olivia and Gracie Kirk.
She was reunited in heaven with her father, Michael Nelson; her biological mother, Sue Smith; her siblings, Cheryl “Tinker” DeVille and James Nelson; and her paternal grandparents, Gwendolyn Nelson and Copeland Ray Nelson.
