Cynthia Pocsik was born in Kermit, Texas to Elie and Charlsie Lam in 1941, and her family moved to Wichita Falls, Texas in 1949.

They settled at Mather Air Force Base near Sacramento, California and later Beale Air Force Base near Marysville, California. She went on to earn her Masters degree in Education from Texas Womans University. She began her teaching career in California, and after she and Jim moved to Plano, Texas in 1969, she spent over 30 years as an educator in the Plano Independent School District. Cyndy impacted the lives of all her students in such a positive way in her years teaching English in the districts PACE Program for gifted and talented students. Anyone who knew Cyndy loved her and called her a friend. Her family was her greatest joy and her unconditional love was evident in everything she did to care for them.
