Media release from Georgia Highlands College:
Georgia Highlands College (GHC) is mourning the loss of Health Science student Cynthia Barron Moore, whose life was marked by compassion, faith, perseverance and a deep desire to care for others.
In honor of Cynthia and the future she worked so diligently to build, Georgia Highlands College welcomed her family to the Cartersville site for a special ceremony where she was posthumously awarded her Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences.
“Cynthia’s life reflected the very best of what we hope to see in our students: a commitment to learning, a desire to serve others and the determination to pursue a meaningful future,” GHC President Mike Hobbs said. “We are honored to recognize her accomplishments and grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the life and legacy she leaves with us.”
Cynthia dreamed of becoming a Physician Assistant and working in pediatrics. From the beginning of her college journey, she spoke with purpose about her desire to help children and build a career centered on service and care.
Her advisors worked alongside her as she carefully mapped out prerequisites and future plans for competitive Physician Assistant programs while continuing toward her bachelor’s degree at GHC.
Like many GHC students, Cynthia balanced her academic goals with a full and meaningful life outside the classroom. She worked evenings, remained active in her church community and thoughtfully planned her coursework around her responsibilities and long-term goals. She was committed to completing her degree while preparing for the next chapter of her education and career.
In the summer of 2024, Cynthia married her high school sweetheart, Connor Moore. Together, they were building a life grounded in love, faith and hope for the future.
Cynthia’s faith was an important part of who she was. She was deeply involved in her church choir and was on her way to serve her church community when her life was tragically cut short.
Her dedication to her education and her community was reflected in her academic accomplishments. Cynthia was named to the Dean’s List multiple times during her time at Georgia Highlands College and was working toward becoming the first woman to graduate college in her family.
While Cynthia’s life ended far too soon, the qualities that defined her — her kindness, determination, faith and desire to serve others — left a lasting impression on the people who knew her.
Georgia Highlands College extends its deepest condolences to Connor, Cynthia’s family, friends, classmates, professors, church family and all those who loved her.
Cynthia will forever remain a member of the Georgia Highlands College family. Her accomplishments, her aspirations and the kindness she shared with others will continue to be remembered by the GHC community.
