Cynthia was known for her witty and dry sense of humor. She was full of wisdom and
always gave the best advice. She loved coffee, reading, knitting, walks, her church, and
being with her family. The love for her children and grandchildren was immeasurable.
The comfort and warmth she provided others was immense. Highly intelligent, her
family lovingly called her the “grammar police”. Her family will miss her dearly.
The family would like to thank the staff of The Green Ridge Care Center for taking care
of Cindy during her stay of almost three years. They would also like to send their
sincerest gratitude to Compassionate Care for taking care of her during her brief
hospice stay.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the convenience of the family. Arrangements by
Anthony P. Litwin Jr. Funeral Home Factoryville.
