Cynthia met the love of her life, Ronnie at a sock hop when they were teenagers.  They were married a couple of years later, went on to raise their five children on Dodt Ave., and later moved to Sherwood Dr. in East New Orleans, LA.

Cynthia loved to be the hostess to a great time, from the weekly card games with her mother, brothers, and sisters to the annual New Years Eve parties.  There was always plenty of food, spirits, music, and dancing to enjoy.  Her hobbies, which she shared with her husband, children, and siblings, were fishing, bowling, golfing, and casino-hopping.  In Cynthia's retirement years, she enjoyed coloring and making puzzles.

The family would like to thank the staff of Greenbrier Nursing Home and Notre Dame Hospice for the excellent care she received over the past two years.
