Cynthia Gail Bennett 
March 7, 1960 – November 4, 2026

Cynthia Gail Bennett, affectionately known as “Cindy,” was born on March 7, 1960, to the late Thomas Long and the late Myrtle Miller (née Jordan). On November 4, 2026, God called her name, and she answered.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cindy spent many years in her hometown before relocating to Cedar Brook, New Jersey. She later raised her children in Sicklerville, New Jersey, returned to Philadelphia for a time, and eventually made her home in Clementon, New Jersey.

Throughout her working years, Cindy was employed in housekeeping at Ancora State Hospital. She later worked as a salesperson at Jeff’s Place, located in the Berlin Farmer’s Market, before eventually retiring.

Cindy enjoyed making baskets, but her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was known for her generous spirit, resourcefulness, determination, and unmistakable hustler mentality. Cindy had a way of making things happen. If she couldn't do it herself, she always knew somebody who could!

Her love and generosity extended far beyond her immediate family. While she poured her heart into raising her own children, she also opened her heart and home to the children throughout her neighborhood. Whether hosting memorable parties in Lehigh Manor or making sure every child in the neighborhood had a gift under the Christmas tree, Cindy found happiness in giving, sharing, and making people feel special. She believed in showing love through her actions, and the countless people whose lives she touched will forever remember her kindness.

Cindy was a devoted mother to Crystal Bennett, Kyle Murray, Michael Bennett (Jere), Lakeshia Bennett, Tina Bennett, and Denise James (Anthony). Her children were a tremendous part of her life, and she took pride in the family she raised.

She was a loving grandmother to Lonnise Bennett, Leila Bennett, Tyreese Pointer, Jr., Kamaia Murray, Quannell Murray, Michael Murray, and Jonisa James, and a cherished great-grandmother to three great-grandchildren, each of whom brought her immense joy.

Cindy was preceded in death by her beloved brothers, Warren Teasley and Earl Teasley. She leaves to cherish her memory her longtime special friend, Calvin Fontaine; her sisters, Marguerete Graves (Donald), Marcella Barnett (Steve), and Melissa Teasley; along with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, dear friends, and the many members of her community whose lives she touched.

Cindy will forever be remembered for her generous heart, fierce determination, unconditional love for her family, and willingness to help anyone in need. She had a special gift for bringing people together, making things happen, and finding ways to put smiles on the faces of others. Her home, her laughter, her generosity, and her presence created memories that will live on for generations.

Though she may no longer be with us physically, the love she shared and the lives she touched will continue to tell her story. Her legacy of giving, caring, and always finding a way to help others will live on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, and the countless members of her community who were blessed to know her.

Cindy's hands may be at rest, but the love she placed in so many hearts will never fade.

She will be deeply missed, forever cherished, and eternally loved.

Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Saturday, November 14th from 9:00 – 11:00 am at St. John’s United Methodist Church, 409 Fairview Ave., West Berlin, NJ, where a Homegoing service will be held at 11:00 am. Burial will follow.
