September 26, 2026, 72, – Cynthia “Cindi” Hayes Phillpott, 72, passed away at her home on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Born in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, she was the daughter of the late Daniel Wesley Hayes and Luette Butcher Hayes.
In addition to her parents, Cindi is preceded in death by her children, Russell and Michelle.
Cindi is survived by her loving husband of 38 years, Kenny Phillpott; children, Brandon and Dustin; siblings, Teresa, Daniel, Jr., and David; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
Cindi was a loving and generous woman whose life was defined by the kindness she showed to others. She had a heart for people and never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Her generosity was evident in everything she did, and those who knew her would say that she was the kind of person who would gladly give the shirt off her back to help someone else.
Cindi devoted her time to serving others, volunteering at her local food bank and giving back to her community in ways that made a difference. She never sought recognition for her kindness; helping others simply came naturally to her. She believed in caring for people and making sure no one felt forgotten or alone.
Before her health began to decline, Cindi was an active woman who loved staying busy and enjoying life. She enjoyed playing billiards, golfing, and bowling, and she treasured the friendships and memories made along the way. Whether she was enjoying a game, spending time with others, or simply lending a helping hand, Cindi brought warmth and joy wherever she went.
Above all, Cindi will be remembered for the love she gave so freely. She was compassionate, selfless, and genuinely cared about the people around her. Her giving heart touched countless lives, and the kindness she showed will continue to live on in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to know and love her.
The family will remember Cindi in a private setting.
