The years were filled with hard work, great food and loads of entertaining.

Cynthia had a particular flare for plants and surrounded the home with beautiful Azalea and Hosta bushes. After retirement Cynthia and Roger moved to Henderson, Nevada for 12 years of travel and fun.

Cynthia fought type one diabetes for 50 years and Dementia for the last 10. A fighter to the end. Your struggle is over take a well deserved rest.
Well Done.
