It is with sadness that we the family announce the peaceful passing of Cynthia Lynn Lewis on Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at Harbourstone Enhanced Care Facility, surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Sydney, she was the daughter of Mabel Morris of Eskasoni and the late Fred Sylliboy.

Cynthia worked for a number of years at Sylliboy’s Hardware as a store clerk. She was an avid bingo player and always enjoyed a good game of cards and got great joy at family gatherings. In her younger years she attended Teacher’s College in Truro. Cynthia was a dedicated wife and mother who had a strong faith to God and was a gentle person and a strong example to all. She will always be remembered for her great sense of humor. Cynthia’s greatest passion was her love of family.
