Cyndie Cynthia

Gilton-Blakley

Cyndie Gilton-Blakley, 64, of Alexander, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on Monday, November 9, 2026, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Cyndie was born on February 24, 1962, to Charles Vernon Stanley and Linda Gail Green.

If you knew Cyndie, you knew she had a love for all things dragons, dirt track racing, classic cars, rock and roll music, and the color black. But above all else, she loved her family and friends.

Although Cyndie never had children of her own, her niece Ashley, affectionately known to everyone as Dannie, was the closest thing to a daughter she could have ever had. The two shared a special bond that could never be broken. When Cyndie married David in 2016, she was blessed with three stepchildren whom she loved as her own.

At any given time, you could find Cyndie at home, surrounded by the love and laughter of her children, grandchildren, and great-niece, Aimsleigh. Her home was a place of family, togetherness, and memories that will be treasured forever.

Throughout her life, Cyndie faced many obstacles, but one of her greatest challenges, as well as one of her greatest triumphs, was surviving Stevens-Johnson syndrome. After making a full recovery, she felt on top of the world and embraced life with a renewed outlook and appreciation for every moment.

Cyndie is preceded in death by her mother, Linda Green; stepfather, Virgil Green; grandparents, Bill and Twilla Gilton; sister and brother-in-law, Carla and Tommy McCoy; and brother-in-law, Mike Parker.

She leaves behind her loving husband, David Blakley; sister, Stephanie Parker (Steve Bardwell); and three children, Lanna (Chris) Childress, Mikki (Ashley) Blakley, and Cody Blakley.

She is also survived by her grandchildren, Abel Bland, Kase Peeples, Jayden, Adrien, Ava, Izzy, Emmett, and Stella Blakley; nieces, Ashley Osburn (DJ Lester) and Teresa (Kade) Theiss; and great-niece, Aimsleigh Osburn, along with numerous extended family members and dear friends who loved her dearly.

Cyndie’s love, laughter, strength, and unforgettable personality will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Visitation will be held on Monday, November 23, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Dial and Dudley Funeral Home.
