Upon her father's death in 2000, she inherited majority control and became chair of Hensley & Co., one of the largest Anheuser-Busch beer distributors in the United States. She participated in both of her husband's presidential campaigns and, in 2008, drew both positive and negative scrutiny for her appearance, demeanor, wealth, spending habits, and financial obligations. She continued to be an active philanthropist and served on the boards of Operation Smile, Eastern Congo Initiative, CARE, and HALO Trust, frequently making overseas trips in conjunction with their activities. During the 2010s, she became prominent in the fight against human trafficking. From 2017 until his death the following year, she dealt with her husband's battle against glioblastoma.

Cindy Lou Hensley was born in Phoenix, Arizona,[1] to James Hensley, who founded Hensley & Co.,[2] and Marguerite "Smitty" Hensley (née Johnson).[1][3][4] She has described her mother as being very much from Southern culture, while her father reflected the Western lifestyle.[5] She was raised as the only child of her parents' second marriages[6] and grew up on Phoenix's North Central Avenue in affluent circumstances.[7][8][9] Dixie Lea Burd (d. 2008),[10] daughter of Marguerite Smith through a prior relationship, was her half-sister,[11] as was Kathleen Hensley Portalski (d. 2017),[12] daughter of Jim Hensley and his first wife, Mary Jeanne Parks.[11][13] Cindy Hensley was named Junior Rodeo Queen of Arizona in 1968.[14][15] She went to Central High School[6] in Phoenix, where she was named Best Dressed as a senior and graduated in 1972.[7][16]
