Cindy Lu Smart

Cindy Lu Smart, 70, Syracuse, died Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020, at home surrounded by family. Cindy was born in Goshen, on May 26, 1950, to the late Ralph and Gertrude Gose.

Cindy married Jack Smart on Sept. 26 1970, and recently celebrated their milestone 50th anniversary. For 34 years, Cindy drove school bus for Wawasee Community Schools.

She loved spending time with family and friends, playing cards, Yahtzee and golfing. Cindy was able to do so much in life, from skiing in Colorado to enjoying the warm weather in the Florida Keys and golfing everywhere in between.

But most of all, she loved serving her God Jehovah. Cindy dedicated her life to Jehovah God on April 11, 1967, and served him faithfully for the rest of her life, engaging in the disciple-making work, most recently with the Kendallville Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Cindy’s love and warmth will be missed most by all who knew her. Surviving are a daughter, Tracy (Rich) Morgan of Syracuse and two sons, Thaddeus (Cindy) Smart of Paulding, OH and Jared (Jennie) Smart of Kendallville; three grandchildren, Ciara Pulliam, Talia Pulliam and Callum Smart; one great grandson, Floyd Byall.

The family will host a memorial service on ZOOM on Nov. 28, at 3 p.m. Legacy Cremation & Remembrance Center in Ligonier is assisting the family with arrangements.
