Eko Club Dallas as well as the family and friends of Cynthia Fermender Caldwell were all thrown into a fit of despair and dysphoria after the tragic news broke that the mother of two had been called to glory on May 1, 2021, after an eventful sojourn on earth.
Often described as the ‘Woman with a Heart of Gold’, Cynthia was born on May 14, 1952 into the family of Robert Anderson and Daisy Ruff in Dallas, Texas.
A good singer and a great lover of piano, Cynthia was educated at O.W. Holmes Middle School and South Oak Cliff High School until the family moved to Los Angeles, California in 1968.
A Registered Nurse, she brought her cheery Southern spirit to the West Coast and Jordan High School in Watts until her graduation in 1970. The following year, she became a fulfilled woman when she became a mother to her only daughter, Marvet, whom she affectionately called “Vet”.
Over the course of her lifetime, she dedicated her fundamental essence to being an exemplary mother not just to her only daughter, but to her legions of proteges whose lives she impacted positively.
The late Cynthia also demonstrated her unalloyed devotion to God through her music ministry at Bible Revival Church in Watts as well as West Adams Four Square Church in Los Angeles, where she led the choir and also played the piano.
As a woman who was determined to spending her transient time on earth to help the course of humanity, she proceeded to the Los Angeles Trade Tech College, where she earned a degree in nursing and became fully licensed to practice in the United States of America.
In Dallas, she worked at various hospitals as a Registered Nurse. She began another career at the United States Post Office as an occupational nurse where was affectionately known as “doctor” until her retirement. Never one to rest on her laurels, Cynthia earned her realtor license in 1992 and bought her first home.

In 1994, she met the man who would later turn out to be the love of her life, Chief Wally Jeboda. They got married and shared their life together travelling, worshipping, and spending time with family. The marriage eventually produced a son, Michael, whom she mothered with the same love affection.
Undeterred by the unyielding demands of adulthood or parenthood, Cynthia proceeded to obtain her Bachelors of Science from the Texas Women’s University and a Masters Degree in Education from Dallas Baptist University with an emphasis in reading. While serving at the Duncanville Independent School District as a part-time teacher, she earned the affectionate moniker “Ms. J” for her uncanny ability to tutor and mentor the students.
Cynthia continued her education in the Doctorate program at Grand Canon University. She tutored children in the neighbourhood and gave piano lessons.
All through the course of her lifetime, Cynthia inspired kindness, love, compassion, selflessness, and benignity. She will be sorely missed by all those who enjoyed the good fortune of her affable rectitude.
Those who yearn most to embrace Cynthia on heaven’s streets of gold include her husband, Chief Wally Jeboda; her daughter Marvet Anderson and husband Marvin; son Michael Jeboda; siblings Jannett Stevon Davis (Keitth), Geneva McClure, Akbar “Brutha” Muhammad, Cassandra Carler, Debra Kirks, Jume Kirks, Mark Kirks, Dwayne Dodson; stepfather Willie “Tony” Kirks; many aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and friends.
