Cynthia “Cindy” (Mitchell) Adams
ALABAMA – Cindy gave birth to five biological children but was a neighborhood mother figure to so many more. Whether they called her Mom, Mumma, Mamma, Ma, Stepmom, Sister, Cousin, Aunt Cindy or Friend, she welcomed all with open arms. Cindy was a one-of-a-kind home maker who enjoyed her oldies and kicking butt at Rummy. She loved her children more than anything and fought fiercely until the very end not wanting to leave them. No matter where you were or what you were doing, if your kids were at Cindy’s, you knew they were safe and taken care of. She was the strongest, most selfless and beautiful soul this world had the privilege to share. Cindy lived most of her life in Portland between Kennedy Park and the West End. Over the last decade she lived with her granddaughter Lexus, her cousin Mandy, and her children. Most recently she resided in southern Alabama, where she spent her final days surrounded by love. Heaven has gained an angel who’s soul will undoubtably brighten all spirits she encounters. She will be dearly missed by all but would not want one of us to feel an ounce of sadness. She would want us to instead cherish the moments we had with her and go on spreading love and kindness.
She has reunited with her parents, Sylvia and Frank, brother Mike, and sisters, Penny, Melody, Kim, Kathy and Renee. Cindy’s family and extended family are too enormous to list all those she is survived by, but she leaves behind five children, Sylvia, Scott, Derek, Casey, Misty, daughter-in-law Andrea, son-in-law Kyle, two brothers Stephen and Franky, and 12 grandchildren. Until we see you again, fly high beautiful lady. We love you to infinity and beyond, sweet dreams, nighty night, sleep tight.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
