Cynthia was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her parents Anthony and Ellen Montalbano worked hard to spoil both their beautiful daughters, Cynthia "Nick" and Gene. Parochial schools provided her education as well as a myriad of activities, sports, dances, Mardi Gras balls... that formed Cynthia into her young adulthood. After graduating from the Academy of Holy Angels, Cynthia married and began her first career of motherhood, raising 3 children. After raising her children into their academics, Cynthia, herself returned to school and obtained her Associates Degree in Accounting. She soon thereafter began her career in accounting for Mitchell Energy & Development until her retirement. She maintained a strong faith throughout her life. A longtime resident of Oak Ridge North, Cynthia was fortunate to be an active, founding member of both St. Edwards Catholic Church in Spring, TX as well as St. Simon & Jude Catholic Church in The Woodlands, TX. Cynthia maintained a lifelong passion for her favorite sports team: the LSU Tigers. She also cheered heartily for her Houston Astros and the Dallas Cowboys. Her greatest passion was her "Adoration" of all her grandchildren; watching and cheering them through all their activities from Baseball, Basketball, Ballet, Dance, Football, Cross-Country, Track, Orchestra and Drama.
Cynthia was preceded in death by daughter Michelle Herschmann; father Anthony Montalbano; mother Mary Ellen Montalbano; brother-in-law William Treadway.
