Cindy's obituary
Cynthia Diane Bibb-Cheatwood, beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at her childhood home in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, after a courageous two-year battle with cancer. Cynthia was born at the University of Oklahoma Hospital (OU) on August 29, 1957. She was the 10th and final child of Roy and Leota Cheatwood. She is preceded in death by Father Roy, Mother Leota, brother’s; Tommy and Charles “Gilbert”, Sister’s; Lucille, Mary, Irene, Linda, and Sharon. Cynthia is survived by her children Bobby, Amanda, and Amber, Husband Bobbie, Sister Karon, and Brother Edward.
On March 13, 1978, Cynthia married her soulmate, Bobbie Bibb, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, many fishing trips, and cherished memories. Together, they raised three children and opened their home to Bobby Bibb, daughter-in-law Jennifer Bibb and her husband Jim Higginbotham, Amanda Haines, and son-in-law James Haines, Amber Rose and her husband Delvin Rose, and adopted daughter Nicole Mosqueda. Cynthia’s nurturing spirit extended beyond her own children as she lovingly raised many others who found a home in her heart.
Cynthia adored her grandchildren including Caden, Logan, Aspen, Jenna, Jace, Ariana, Brooklyn, Dallas, Andre, Allie (who she joins in heaven), Astoria, Matthew, Heaven, Bradley, MJ, and Abigale. She found joy in spending time with them doing many things, cooking ramen, oatmeal, eggs, among many other things. Many memories were made during family fishing trips where laughter and love filled the air. All her grandchildren fondly remember her rubbing their backs until they fell asleep, teaching them to crochet and hula hoop, playing in the sand box and blowing bubbles in the yard.
A compassionate and devoted woman, Cynthia dedicated her life to caring for others. She often spoke of her career as a School Cafeteria Worker. Cynthia’s kind heart and generous spirit touched the lives of many, leaving her mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
In her free time, she found solace in gardening, where she cultivated beauty and loved watching the hummingbirds flutter by. She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, always ready to share a cup of coffee, and dance with loved ones. You would often see Cindy in the kitchen dancing and singing while she cooked or cleaned. It was rare to see Cindy without her Kindle in her hand reading another book. She and husband Bobby also enjoyed many evenings drinking a cold beer and listening to their favorite music from their younger days.
Cynthia’s legacy of love, kindness, generosity, and unwavering strength will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts all of those touched by her grace.
