Cynthia Elizabeth Stevens

Cynthia Elizabeth Stevens, affectionately known as Cindy, lived a life as colorful and vibrant as the fall season in which she was born.

She is survived by her loving husband of 56 years, Kenneth T. Stevens, and their daughters: Heidi Morris (Donald), Natalie Harper (Bryan), and Melissa Harbison (Joshua) and 13 grandchildren. Predeceased by her beautiful baby boy, Paul Thomas Stevens, who remained ever present in her heart, she leaves behind a legacy of vibrant love, steadfast faith, unwavering belief in the potential of others, beautiful quilts, and countless totes full of fabric to ensure that her loved ones will be remembering her while sorting them for many years to come.

Cindy met Ken at the young age of 18. Initially hesitant, she dated Ken and soon realized he was the man she'd marry. From that day on the two became inseparable and from her mouth, the famous tune of saying (and sometimes yelling) “Kenny!” was born. Ken and Cindy would become synonymous. Not only because they were together but also because if you were to ask Cindy for something it meant Ken was doing it with her.

Cindy would often say, “right is right” or “truth is truth”. When she knew something was right, she knew it. And with that gift, once she learned about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she knew it was right. Not only did she and Ken join the Church, but she would live it every day of her life. She would later serve a senior mission at Fort Benning in Georgia. She knew the gospel of Jesus Christ was true, she knew her Savior lives, and she wasn’t afraid to tell anyone.

Cindy's hands were rarely still, as she was a passionate crafter and quilter. She believed in the magic of turning a piece of fabric into a beautiful piece of art. Her passion for crafting would shine even brighter when she had the opportunity to share or teach it to those she loved. Her ability to transform the mundane into the magnificent was not just limited to crafts; it extended to every aspect of her life. There was never a holiday party, a ward function, or her very own living room that wasn’t meticulously decorated with her special touch.

A firm believer in fairness, Cindy was a champion of justice in her own right. She had an unshakeable moral compass, and heaven help you if you found yourself on the wrong side of it. Her famous calling out of what she deemed "asinine" decisions was both feared and loved. Yet, her heart was as forgiving as it was fierce. To return to her good graces, one simply had to admit that she was right - a small price for the warmth of her smile.

Cindy was not just a wife, friend, mother, and grandmother; she was the ultimate cheerleader. She had an unwavering faith in the potential of her loved ones. "Don't have the skillset?" she would say, "Well then, get the skills and do it!" Her legacy is not just in the quilts she made or the crafts she created, but in the indomitable spirit she instilled in those she loved.

A celebration of Cindy's life will take place on December 29, 2023, at 340 E 300 S, Smithfield, UT 84335. Friends and family are invited to a viewing from 10:30 am to 11:30 am, followed by the funeral service at 12 pm. Additionally, there will be a viewing on Thursday, December 28th, from 6-8 pm at Allen Hall Mortuary, located at 34 E Center St, Logan, UT 84321. Rather than flowers, the family kindly requests donations to The American Kidney Fund in Cindy's memory.

Cindy's departure leaves a void that can never be filled, but her spirit will continue to brighten the lives of those who knew her.
