Lacinda Rose Harris-Gillham, affectionately known as Cindy, passed away peacefully on Saturday evening, October 26, 2024, in Coweta, OK at the age of 75. She was born on February 2, 1949, in Memphis, TN to H.K. and Betty (Nelson) Harvey. Cindy's vibrant spirit and infectious laughter left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She was a beacon of joy and warmth, and her legacy will be cherished by her loving family and the many lives she touched.
Cindy was a proud graduate of Central High School in Tulsa, OK, class of 1967. Her passion for beauty and wellness led her to attend cosmetology school. Cindy's hands were known to work magic, and as a massage therapist, she brought relief and comfort to countless individuals, including those on the PGA tour and Shriners events. Her caring nature extended into her role as a Customer Service Representative at Hard Rock Casino, where she served for eight years with her trademark smile and kindness. She also dedicated her time and talents as a seamstress at JSJ Jeans from 2020 to 2024.
Cindy's zest for life was evident in her love for dancing, singing, and the occasional trip to the casino. Her laughter was contagious, and she could light up a room with her presence. Above all, Cindy cherished the time spent with her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt. Her family was the cornerstone of her life, and she reveled in the joy of her grandkids and great-grandkids, who were her pride and joy.
She is survived by her daughter, Amanda McNatt, and her favorite son-in-law, Carl, of Coweta, OK. Cindy's legacy continues through her four grandchildren, Chance Landon McNatt and his wife Brooke, Jaden Colby Stacey and her husband Shane, Owen Wayne McNatt and his wife Jaydyn, and Joshua Riley Harvey; and her eight great-grandchildren, Samara Vance, Aterus McNatt, Sophia Edwards, Samuel Stacey, Wrenley Stacey, Weston Stacey, Levi McNatt, and Ivy McNatt, with one more on the way. She also leaves behind her sister, Wanda Kay Jones and her husband Pat of Tulsa, OK; her brothers, Earl Michael Harvey and his wife Ruth, and Glen Patrick Harvey and his wife Rita, both of Broken Arrow, OK; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives who will miss her dearly.
Cindy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dean Gillham, her parents, H.K. and Betty Harvey, and her son, Jeff Harvey.
Having lived in Tulsa for most of her life, Cindy spent her final eight years in Catoosa, Oklahoma, where she continued to spread love and laughter. Her presence will be profoundly missed, but the memories she created will forever be a source of comfort and happiness for those who were fortunate enough to know her.
A memorial service celebrating Cindy's life will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, November 1, 2024, at Brown Funeral Home Chapel in Coweta, OK. The service will be officiated by Chaplain James Munuhe of Hospice of Green Country.
