Cynthia McIntosh Williams
1949-2023

Cynthia McIntosh Williams, 74, of Hayesville, North Carolina went peacefully in her sleep to be with her Lord and Savior on May 15, 2023. She was a native of Miami, Florida where she also grew up. 

She began her career as a bookkeeper with Eastern Airlines. Cynthia later moved to Atlanta, Georgia area where she worked as a bookkeeper for Allgood Productions, Barnett Performance, and in the plumbing industry. Cynthia then lived in St. Augustine and Palm Coast, Florida. She worked as an administrative assistant at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind. Cynthia came to Hayesville in 2016. 

Cynthia was a faithful follower of Christ, involved in church wherever she lived. She was a member of Hammock Community Church in Flagler Beach, Florida where she served as choir director. She formed the deaf ministry at First Baptist Church in Lithia Springs, Georgia and taught sign language. Cynthia also taught Sunday School and led the youth choir at Mount Carmel Baptist Church. Locally, she was a member of the Truett Memorial Baptist Church.

Cynthia enjoyed gardening, working in her flowers, and developed a love and talent for photography. She also enjoyed travelling and loved the mountains, especially Cade’s Cove.

She never met a stranger and combined that trait with her love of Christ by handing out “Daily Bread” devotionals to whoever she met.
