Cindy Karen Thacker (Carnes), age 75, passed away on August 22, 2024, in Louisville, KY. Born on November 25, 1948, in Paoli, IN, Cindy was a cherished member of her community and beloved within her family.

Cindy graduated from Springs Valley High School in 1966 and dedicated 52 years to the office furniture industry. She retired as a final inspector from Jasper Group on July 11, 2018. Her commitment to her work was paralleled by her devotion to personal growth and community service, as evidenced by her 40 years of sobriety with Alcoholics Anonymous, a journey during which she formed many lifelong friendships.

Family was the cornerstone of Cindy's life. Her greatest joy was her grandchildren, and she was very proud of them. She cherished every moment spent with family and loved ones. Cindy's love extended to her many pets over the years, including her horse, Bill, and dogs Max, Minnie, Scarlett, Cheyanne, Hopi, and Leo. As a frequent visitor to the Louisville Zoo, she found joy and peace watching the gorillas, a favorite pastime that reflected her gentle and observant nature. She enjoyed reading as a hobby.

Cindy is survived by her son, Shane (Deann) Toliver; daughter, Heather (Nathan) Sexton; granddaughter, Breann (Levi) Smoot; grandchildren, Alaina and Jonathan Sexton; great-grandson, Lathyn Smoot; and a great-grandchild on the way. Sister, Linda (Fred) Livingston; nephew, Michael (Christie) Livingston; niece, Michelle (Brent) Sternberg. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Dorothy Carnes, and her husband, Clyde Thacker.

In accordance with her wishes, no funeral services will be held. Cindy's life and legacy will continue to be celebrated by her family and friends through the memories they hold dear.
