Cindy was a painter and particularly talented with watercolors. She loved her grandchildren and played endlessly with Luke and his fruit.

Her favorite place was the beach house where she spent 2 weeks every year with her family and friends. She and John spent many evenings together on the dock. She took pleasure in being the family zookeeper, in particular babysitting Bruin, Rory and Draco. Babysitting always included some sort of pet costume. Cindy would show up at her sons, John and David’s games even when they were adults. Always their biggest fan! She opened her home and heart to any family member in need. Too many to note, but she will be remembered by all for her kindness, generosity, and free spirit.
