Cindy Moon Dunn

Cindy Moon Dunn, a spirited and loving mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and retired substance abuse counselor, passed away on October 23, 2026, following a long struggle with complications from a stroke she suffered in 2021. Born on June 17, 1956, in Elberton, Georgia, Cindy grew up on Sandhill Road in Bowman, Georgia. The youngest of seven children, she was a strong-willed woman who lived life with determination, conviction, and a spirit all her own. Beneath her stubborn nature was a loving heart, a deep compassion for others, and a close relationship with God that remained an important part of her life.

A Baptist, Cindy’s faith was a meaningful part of who she was. She loved God, cherished her family, and found joy in the things that made life special. She had a particular love for all kinds of flowers, especially sunflowers, a passion passed down to her by her mother. She also enjoyed painting and crafting, finding happiness in creating things with her hands. Her love for animals was just as strong. Throughout her life, Cindy had many dogs and a special fondness for horses.

Cindy dedicated much of her professional life to helping others as a substance abuse counselor at Rockdale House for Women in Conyers, Georgia. Through her work, she touched many lives, offering guidance, compassion, and support to women navigating some of life’s most difficult challenges. Her work was more than a profession; it was a meaningful way she made a difference in the lives of others.

Above all, Cindy loved her family, especially her daughter and grandchildren, who held a special place in her heart. She is survived by her daughter, Teigha Snowden, and son-in-law, Steven Snowden, and her beloved grandchildren, Bryson Snowden, age 17, and Emma Snowden, age 14. She also leaves behind her siblings Helen Motes, LaVera Harper, Jessie Slay, and James Moon, along with their spouses and extended families.

Helen and her husband, Gerald Motes, have three children: Rickey, Steve, and Wanda. LaVera and her husband, Larry Harper, have two children, Carey Lunsford, who preceded Cindy in death, and Teresa Lunsford. Jessie was married to the late Wilton Slay, and they had one daughter, Cynthia Roberts. James and his wife, Linda Moon, have two children, Kaylen and Ryan Moon.

Cindy was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Corene Moon and siblings Gene Moon and Jody Moon. Gene’s wife, Linda Moon, also preceded Cindy in death. Their children are Tony and Sherry Moon. Jody is survived by his wife, Beth Moon, and their children, Keith, Deborah, and Randell Moon. Randell also preceded Cindy in death. Cindy was divorced from Michael Dunn of Bowman, Georgia but maintained a close relationship with him.

Cindy will be remembered as a one-of-a-kind woman whose strength, stubborn determination, and spirited personality made her unforgettable. She cared deeply about the people and animals she loved, found beauty in flowers and creativity, and held her faith close to her heart. From the women whose lives she touched through her work to the family who loved her dearly, Cindy leaves behind a legacy of compassion, resilience, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Family and Friends are invited to Cindy’s Celebration of Life on December 13, 2026 from 12pm until 4pm at the Bowman Community Center, 209 E Railroad Street, Bowman, GA 30624.
