After graduating high school, Cyndy married (the late) Barry “Mike” Perdue, and together they started a family.

Cyndy was known as the “Patsy Cline of the family”, and regularly sang at the NCO Club in Japan. In 2000 Cyndy settled back in Syracuse to enjoy time with her family. She loved shopping at the thrift store, and playing with her dogs. She was a classy lady who knew how to dress, and was always on the go. Cyndy was a loving woman who gave of herself constantly. She taught her children and family to be selfless. She was a wonderful grandmother.
