Cindy Shao, 19, of Odessa, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on May 10, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and joy in ways no one has ever encountered. She graduated from Walter L. Sickles High School in 2024 and was pursuing her dream of becoming a nurse at her first semester at the University of Tampa.

She had a gift for making others feel seen, heard, and loved — a true friend, cherished sister, and treasured daughter. We all deeply feel her absence and will miss her until the end of time.
