As we say in Judaism when a loved one dies "May their memory be a blessing". My Aunt lived through cataclysmic events of the last century. She was born as the 'Great Depression" raged around the world. During World War II, her father died. This left her mother alone at home to raise her as my mother fought with the U.S. Army Women's Army Corp in the European Theater. When my mother returned from her wartime duties, she moved back home to help her mother raise Cinnie. Cinnie joined many fraternal and social groups such as Z.O.A. where she made life long friends. She always tried to 'pay it forward' for all the guidance she received during her life. I find comfort as I take time to remember a life well-lived and well-loved!

So very sad and unexpected to hear of Cynthia‘s passing. She had such a vivacious lively personality. I loved listening to her talk. I know Cynthia since the 1980’s as she was very close to my mother, both had worked for the New York City Board of Education. They spoke on the phone almost every single day and she was a great support system to her and vice versa until the very end 😢. Cynthia had such a generous spirit! It was very heartbreaking when her son passed away before she did. They both had Covid and were at White Plains Hospital but unfortunately, he did not survive. I remember my mom told me the day before that Marc told Cynthia I need to get out of here to take care of you. 
Cynthia had dear friends that were there to support her during that tragic time of sadness. She will always be in our hearts. We miss you Cynthia, I loved that you and my mom were very close. Sadly we never know when that last day will be. Always in our hearts.

I was really saddened upon hearing the news of Cynthias passing. As this is a real loss for me personally because she made my world and those around me a better kinder more fun safer place to be. For over 40 years Cynthia has been a  dear true friend to my  mother  and in the beginning from their days  teaching  in the South Bronx I would look forward to  hearing the stories about their daily adventures and  survival(Darwinism) . Be it swimming or lounging  at the Scarsdale pool  it was always wonderful to see  Cynthia as a part of my life in Scarsdale having even tutored me as a teenager I remember she would not take any money . She  said she wanted to do it   and I remember thinking boy is she loud and funny and not afraid to use a  curse word to get a point across .Cynthia understood life better than most perhaps and she and Marc grew closer over the years and supported   and  encouraged one another to pursue their passions . It was really my pleasure to    introduce my wife Maria and my own children and see how they really immediately liked her and Marc during Thanksgiving and other special holidays or family get togethers. She always was a very giving person to help others and  she was remarkably brave after Marc passed so suddenly.She was generous with a laugh or encouragment or a phone call when life got me down and as a true  chocolate lover who knew the value but  I knew I always had a friend that would listen and  I could call .She was  remarkably loved and made a difference and her memory is a blessing.

Thanksgiving was not be the same without Cynthia and Marc.  The last few years before Marc died and I moved to Florida, My husband and I always invited them over with my son and daughter and grandchildren.  My family was always happy to see them and a warm feeling was had by all.  My children and grandchildren liked their company and always looked forward to seeing them.  After Marc died my son's family in Derby, CT visited them several times and I always visited Cynthia when I flew up north.  I met Cynthia when we both worked at Stevenson H.S. in 1984 and we were close friends until the day she passed.
