Cynthia's Obituary
Cynthia Anne Hollis, 69, of South Haven, passed away Thursday, January 27, 2022, at Spectrum Health Lakeland Medical Center in St. Joseph, Michigan. She was born on July 17, 1952, to Clifford and Margaret (Hinz) Underwood in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Cindy graduated from South Haven High School in 1971 and became a licensed cosmetologist from Twin City Beauty College in St. Joseph, Michigan.
Cindy married James L. Hollis Sr. on July 26, 1979, and together they had three children. Cindy treated everyone as family and wore her heart on her sleeve. She took pride in caring for others, especially her seven grandchildren. Cindy was a lady of many talents as a cosmetologist, machine laborer, deli & retail sales, homecare aide, and a greeter at Meijer. She had an infectious smile which she shared with everyone. She lived life to its fullest no matter the circumstance. She enjoyed great times with her best friends and family Sandy Lute, Maha and Lynneise Karadsheh. Family holidays and special events were her favorite as she had the opportunity to cook and plan for everyone. Christmas was the best time of the year for Cindy. She always looked forward to “Christmas in July” on QVC and the Holiday Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. She made every effort to make the Christmas season fun and enjoyable for all with lights in the yard, trees, music, and food. This was another way Cindy showed the love she had for everyone around.
Cindy loved each and every one of her family members beyond measure. She is survived by her children James Hollis Jr (Ahmed Al-Aabodi) of Kalamazoo, Christopher Hollis of Hartford, and Tiffany (Cornelius) Tanner of South Haven, step son Greg (Tina) Hollis of Groveland FL; grandchildren Jaden Hollis, Zacorious Tanner, Jocelyn Hollis, Kobe Tanner, Kaley Hollis, Lucas Hollis, and Harper Tanner, Amber Hollis and Brittany Hollis; siblings Bonnie (John) Wortman and Joseph (Cathy) Underwood both of South Haven; Many Cousins, Nieces, Nephews, and Family Friends.
