Cynthia enjoyed doing a variety of arts and crafts throughout her life. With her late husband, she enjoyed making and painting Christmas presents for friends and family.

Later on, Cynthia enjoyed knitting and doing puzzles as well as playing with and spoiling her beloved dachshund “Blackie” who has since crossed that Rainbow Bridge. She missed him terribly. She enjoyed going to and participating in the local flea markets and met a lot of friends there.
