Cinda Sue (Aker) Woods

Cinda Woods, age 72, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday evening, August 6, 2020 with her son by her side at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. She was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana on April 15, 1948 to the late Melvin Zedro Aker and Elenora Mary (Householder) Aker, one of eight children. 

She was employed with Supermarket Services for 15 years and the NAPA warehouse for 5 years. Cinda was married to Bill Wetzel and the had one child, Bradley Wetzel. She later married Paul Woods, Sr. and gave birth to two more sons, Paul Woods and Johnnie Joe Woods, while also gaining a stepdaughter, Paula and a stepson, Chris. 

Cinda loved her family and friends dearly. She enjoyed spending time with them, laughing and being ornery. She enjoyed long talks with her special people. Everyone knew not to make any appointments on those days or they would be late! Cinda was a rock to many. She lived life to the fullest and unapologetically. She loved old country music. Her favorite color was yellow but she sure loved her white V-neck T-shirts. She was humble and kind but if you needed it, she was a “tell you like it is” kind of woman and would let you know. She had a heart of gold and a beautiful smile. Cinda will truly be missed by so many.
