Cindy Gaye Higgins passed away January 2, 2013.

Born June 25, 1956 in New Orleans, Cindy was the daughter of the late Virginia 
Faye and George Joseph Higgins. She was preceded in death by her husband of 19 
years, John William Broom.

Cindy is survived by her children, Carson Elise Higgins Broom, Zachary Reed 
Queyrouze, Jessamine Queyrouze Barthels and son-in-law Erik Barthels, and 
grandchildren Miles Jay Barthels and Iris May Barthels. Her siblings Colleen 
Elam and husband Joseph, Jay Higgins and wife Felicia, Laurie Higgins, Bonnie 
Higgins, Bliss Higgins and husband Wade Adams, Clay Higgins and wife Becca, and 
Tammie Higgins, and more than two dozen nieces, nephews, great-nieces and 
great-nephews.

A teacher in the St Tammany Parish School System for almost 20 years, Ms. 
Higgins is also survived and fondly remembered by the many students who were 
lucky enough to spend a wonderful year with her.

She especially loved the years she spent teaching Kindergarten at Woodlake 
Elementary, and was so sad to leave her friends and students when Alzheimer’s 
forced her to retire in 2005.

She loved to play piano, and filled the house with music. She loved her large, 
close family, and her children, endlessly and unconditionally. She was a bright 
and beautiful shining light, and the world is not darker with her passing. She 
leaves her light and love behind. She will be so very missed.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to celebrate Cindy’s life on 
Saturday, January 5, 2013 at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 W. 21st Avenue, 
Covington, LA 70433 at 2:00 PM with a gathering on Saturday from 12:00 noon 
until service time.

In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the Alzheimer’s Foundation.

Cards of thanks and gratitude can be sent to the Lacombe Nursing Center for 
their wonderful, loving care.
