Cynthia Roseborough

CYNTHIA ANN EVERETT ROSEBOROUGH was born November 23, 1953 in Washington, North Carolina to Eunice (Grice) Everett and the late Farris “Sam” Holland. She received her education from the Baltimore City Public School System, where she attended Eastern High School. She also completed training with CORE (Congress of Racial Equality). She was briefly employed with C&P Telephone Company. She began her government career with the Social Security Administration in November 1972; where she held several positions. At the time of her retirement in January 2009, she had risen to the position of Program Analyst. After her retirement, one of her greatest pleasures was spending time with her beloved grandson, Colby (Colbyco). As a child, Cynthia attended Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. In September 1987, she gave her life to Christ at Friendship Baptist Church, Turners Station under the leadership of Reverend Dockery Thompson. In 1995, she joined Faith United Baptist Church and she faithfully served as a member of the Praise and Worship Team, the Faith United Choir and the Single Ministry. Cynthia loved the Lord and would always say, “He’s able!” After the death of her youngest son, God lead Cynthia to minister to others who were grieving. Her compassion and caring spirit lead her to form the Bereavement Ministry — Family Grief Support Center. Cynthia, affectionately called “Princess” by close family members, had many hobbies and interests including reading, collecting elephants, shopping, traveling and crocheting; but her real passion was singing. She started singing at an early age and often would put on “shows” for family members. She also enjoyed spending time with the “girls” from SSA and her family and rarely missed the family reunions in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Cynthia was known for her macaroni and cheese, and also enjoyed homemade chocolate layer cake. No one was a stranger to Cynthia, she collected friends everywhere she went. Cynthia departed this life on April 13, 2013 after a brief illness. She was preceded in death by her son, Damon Everett (1996), and her Dad, Herman G. Everett (2000). Her legacy lives on and her memory will be cherished by: her loving mother, Eunice; her son, Garon (Adrienne) of Baltimore, Maryland; her stepdaughter, Kichelle Green of Greenbelt, Maryland; daughter-in-law, Tracy Reynolds of Baltimore, Maryland; three grandchildren, Colby, Frank and Danielle; one great granddaughter, Kaiden; her sisters, Brenda Booth (Donald) of Pantego, North Carolina, Sandra Holland of Detroit, Michigan and Pamela Jackson of Baltimore, Maryland; and her niece, Kimberly (Dave) of Virginia; and nephew, Cedric (Robin) of Raleigh, North Carolina; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. I’ve fought a good fight, kept the faith, I have finished my course. — II Timothy 4:7
