Cynthia previously worked as the head cook for the Montpelier School District and most recently worked at Marshalls in Fort Wayne, IN. She attended Cedar Creek Church in Perrysburg and was formerly a member of the Montpelier Civic League. Cynthia loved many things. She loved spontaneous road trips with her husband, walks along the beach, flowers, cooking, trips to the winery and most of all her grandchildren. Cynthia was a collector of nutcrackers and Longaberger baskets. She was always up for playing cards and wanted others to join in the fun. Cynthia enjoyed getting gifts for others, whether it be Christmas gifts, birthday presents or simply just because.
