Rainelle-Cynthia Mallory Daniels, of Rainelle, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, Sept. 27, 2021 after a brief illness.
Cynthia was born May 9, 1965 in Welch, WV and she attended Mount View High School in Welch, where she was active in the band and also as a majorette. After high school, Cynthia attended Bluefield State College. For many years she was employed as an ophthalmic laboratory technician for Dr. Frank Britton in Bluefield, WV.
On Dec. 14, 2014, family and friends surrounded Cynthia as she married Bob Daniels and began a life together with him that should have been so much longer.
Cynthia was very active at First Church of God in both Bluefield, VA and Princeton, WV, where she served in the youth ministry and touched so many young lives. While she was not a mom herself, she had a heart for youth, especially Nicholas, Walker, Colin, Lindsey, Lauren, Hannah and Breanna whom she loved like they were her own.
Family meant everything to her and she was very close to her cousins, Mark Massey, Todd Massey and Robin Jones. Her Aunt Charlotte was like a second mom to her, even more so in the years after her own mother passed away. Cynthia treasured the holidays, especially Christmas, when everyone would gather in Bluefield at her Aunt Charlotte’s home and every year she looked forward to the annual week at the beach with a house full of her family.
Cynthia had an infectious laugh that would light up a room. She loved shopping, working in her flower garden, decorating her home for the seasons, and staying connected with friends and extended family. She had countless adventures with her Aunt Charlotte that always ended in stories so funny it would bring you to tears. She brought a joy to life that those who knew her will forever miss.
Cynthia was preceded in death by her father, Ronnie Mallory of Welch; her mother, Sandy Graham and stepfather, Tom Graham, both of Kimball; and an aunt, Greta Strawn, of Bluefield, VA.
Survivors include her husband, Rev. Bob Daniels of Rainelle; stepbrother, Michael Gibson and wifeLeah of Rocky Mount, VA; aunt Charlotte Massey and husband Leonard of Bluefield, VA; aunt Connie Sigmon and husband Junior of Kimball; aunt Lynn Hardee and husband Freddie of Kimball; aunt Sharon Jones of Princeton, WV; uncle, Jimmy Mallory of Princeton, WV; and countless others close family members that loved her so much.
Funeral services will be held Friday, Oct. 1, at 11 a.m. at Wallace & Wallace Funeral Home in Lewisburg, with the Rev. Jimmie Russ officiating. Burial will follow in Maple Hill Cemetery in Bluefield, VA. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.
