Celebrating the life of
Cynthia  HowardAugust 09, 1952 - May 20, 2012

Cynthia Howard, 59, left for her heavenly home on May 20th 2012. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that loved and cared for her so much. She was the rock of her family, and even in the face of her own mortality provided strength that gave a living testimony of the peace of Christ.

She was born in Reidsville, GA, lived in Buffalo, NY, and Nashville, TN. She spent most of her life in Savannah, GA where she was the Secretary and Treasurer for the family business, Howard Electrical Contractor, Inc.

Cynthia's life was far too short, but her legacy of unselfish love and ability to give peace and comfort to those around her live on through those who love her. Every part of her life was spent helping those around her realize their full potential, many times putting other's needs ahead of her own.

She was a graceful lady in every situation, and her sense of humor and wit was incomparable. Her radiant smile was ever ready to spread joy to all those around her.

Cynthia was an avid interior decorator, and she was able to give style to any room or occasion, although Christmas was her favorite season.

As a devoted wife, beloved mom, dear sister, special aunt, cousin, and friend she gave wisdom, love, and counsel, and was an unselfish embodiment of love and devotion.

Cynthia is survived by her husband, Robert P. Howard, Sr.; her son and his wife, Robert and Casey Howard; grandchildren, Eva Howard and Robert "Preston" Howard, III; her daddy, Robert F. Bradt, Sr.; her uncle, Earl Troup; her aunt, Helen Rich; her siblings and their spouses, Robin Foote, Robert F.
