Cynthia “Cindy” Diane (Jinks) Harvey, age 74, of Sabetha, KS died peacefully at the Apostolic Christian Nursing Home on Friday Nov 13th, 2026.
Cindy was born on April 28, 1952, in Hutchinson, KS, to Kenneth and Loyce (Hopper) Jinks. She was the second of their four daughters. After graduating from John Marshall High School in 1970, she attended South Central Community College and the University of Central Oklahoma.
Cindy married Stephen Harvey and they had 2 children: Jennifer and Stephen Jr. They later divorced.
Cindy was always very involved in her children’s lives, even while working full-time as a CNA on night shift. She always made time to play games with her kids and share her love of music. She was a true advocate for Steve, never letting his Down Syndrome be a limiting factor in his life, but pushing him to be as independent as possible.
In 2006, Cindy’s life took a dramatic turn when she was in a devastating car wreck. Moving to Sabetha, while not her plan, enabled her to have a more active role in her grandchildren’s lives. Despite her accident, this did not dull Cindy’s love for life. She would often take walks and spend time enjoying the fresh air. On these walks, she could be found in the local thrift stores, buying treasures for her family, or going to the library to check out another book! Cindy was a warm embrace to her friends and neighbors, where she would offer conversation, help with anything she could, and offer a sugar-free Werther’s candy for the road.
Her grandchildren will remember her presence at their celebrations, helping them bake…especially pumpkin muffins, playing games, watching movies, and keeping a whole closet of toys and games to keep them entertained.
Cindy was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, living her life according to Mark 12:30. With the love she showed in life, it is sure the Lord welcomes her with it, a hundred fold.
Survivors include her children: Jennifer (Adam) Enneking and Steve Harvey Jr.; a sister, Becky (Scott) Hyde, 6 amazing grandchildren: Hannah (Joe), Grace (Trenton), Jacob, Joshua, Rachel, and Henry Enneking, 2 nieces: Tamara and Chelsea, a nephew, Jason, and 2 dear friends: Bonnie and Ruth.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters Linda (Jack) McGaughy, Kim (Dexter) Thomas, and a grand-daughter Maria Enneking.
A visitation will start at 9 A.M. prior to the rosary which will be prayed at 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 prior to the Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 A.M. everything is at the Sacred Heart Catholic church in Sabetha.
