Cindy Cobb Puckett

The Cindy Cobb Puckett Scholarship fund offers families financial assistance in order to enjoy the opportunity to attend the Marcie and Me Play program.

Cindy Cobb Puckett was born August 5, 1952.

Cindy recently passed on March 18, 2011 after an extraordinary attempt to survive an accidental fire that left her burned over 75% of her body.

Cindy was born with cerebral palsy. A condition described as a group of disorders that affect movement control. There is not one specific cause of cerebral palsy, however, it can be caused by injury to the brain before, during, or after birth.

Cindy was one of those rare, kind people who was able to inspire those she met through her compassion, sense of humor and relentless spirit to enjoy life. The desire to live life to the fullest, motivated her to challenge her physical limitations despite battling constant pain. It was with this relentless passion that she was able to accomplish her dreams and goals.

Cindy worked as a clerk for the Boston Police department for 30 years. She was a loving wife to husband Joe, a compassionate sister to brother Chucky and devoted daughter to her parents Gilda and Charlie. Her love of family was so important to Cindy, that she called her parents nightly at 9:00 pm, no matter where she was, or what she was doing, just to make sure they were all right.

Cindy never allowed her disability to limit her physically or spiritually. She was a woman motivated by a fighting spirit to enjoy life and share that joy with those she loved.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
- Thomas Edison

It is my honor to offer this scholarship in Cindy’s name to keep her spirit alive through all the children who will benefit from coming to Marcie and Me.
