Cynthia was a stay at home mom until their children grew up. She then went to nursing school and retired after more than 40 years of nursing. Cynthia enjoyed cooking, crocheting and painting. She could whip up a pound cake and deliver it to you while it was warm from the oven. She loved to travel and was packed and ready to go before anyone else in the group even with her snack bag in hand. She never missed a trip when someone mentioned going to a casino.
