Cynthia was born on March 20, 1951, to Patricia and Willene Becklum. She was a proud graduate of Middleton High School's class of 1969. After her military service in the US Army, she continued to serve her community as a Teleservice Representative for the Social Security Administration until her retirement. Cynthia's work ethic and compassion for others were unmatched, and her retirement was not an end but a transition to another form of service, becoming a Foster Care Parent. For over two decades, she opened her home and heart to children in need, offering them the warmth and stability they deserved. She was a faithful member of Rebirth Baptist Church in Tampa, Florida, until her illness. Cynthia enjoyed her favorite pastimes of going on cruises throughout the year, eating out at restaurants and dancing.

Cynthia was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Patricia and Willene Becklum; brothers, Avery, Leonard, Patrick, and Samuel Davis; and sister Sonia Becklum White.

Her memory will be cherished and kept alive by: sons, Warren Mann, Jr. (Annika), and Jason; granddaughter, Lauren Mann; sisters, Rev. Gloria Asbury Townsend Hinds Jiles, Gwendolyn Becklum Taylor, and Dian Becklum; special friends, Joyce Mitchell, Pearl Randall, Lola Johnson, and devoted neighbor Lillian Santos. Cynthia's spirit will also live on through the lives of a host of nieces, nephews and other sorrowing relatives and friends. To say Cynthia will be missed is an understatement. She was a beacon of joy and generosity, with an infectious laugh, a friend to all, and a treasured member of her family.
