**Mamaw (Cindy)**

Cindy, affectionately known as Mamaw, has a life steeped in the warmth of family and the rich traditions of home-cooked meals. Growing up in sunny Florida, Cindy spent countless hours in the kitchen with her mother and grandmothers, who instilled in her a deep love for cooking. These early lessons not only fueled her passion for food but also became the foundation for the personal family recipes she has lovingly passed down to her own children.

Cindy's life took a new turn when she met Jack. Their connection was immediate, and it was soon clear that they were meant to build a future together. Before moving to Nebraska to marry Jack, Cindy made the heartfelt decision to retire from her family’s business in Lake Wales, Florida, where she had devoted 34 years of her life. This move marked the beginning of a new chapter, filled with new adventures and shared dreams.

Cindy’s greatest joy comes from her family—her two sons, two stepdaughters, and five cherished grandkids, along with her three grand fur babies. Recently, she and Jack decided to relocate to Crossville, Tennessee, to be closer to their younger grandchildren and continue creating even more treasured memories.

Cindy’s kitchen has always been the heart of her home, a place where love, comfort, and warmth are shared through every meal. Whether she’s recreating a beloved family dish or experimenting with new flavors, Cindy’s culinary creations are always made with care and love. She believes that the kitchen is more than just a place to cook; it’s where stories are told, traditions are kept alive, and bonds are strengthened.

For Cindy, being Mamaw is about more than just being a grandmother—it’s about preserving a legacy of love, family, and the joy of sharing a meal together, one recipe at a time.
