After graduating from Forest High School in 1987, Cynthia dedicated her career to the nurturing and development of children within the childcare industry.

Her devotion to her faith was a source of strength and inspiration to her entire church family. Cynthia found joy in simple pleasures. She loved to draw in her earlier years as well as poetry writing. Fishing was a favorite pastime also. Cynthia found solace and wisdom in the pages of her Bible. Cynthia's faith was a guiding force in her life. She was a devoted mom and wife who made it a priority to connect with her girls and her husband every morning for prayer, a tradition they've all participated in and promise to continue in her honor.

She was a devoted wife to her husband, Joseph Hunter Sr. and a loving mother to her daughters Artisha Williams (Charles), Darreka Tolbert (Bryan), Sharella Davis, Monique Boyd, Cyntasia Boyd, Tyesha Gant, and Eboni Hunter.
