Cynthia Horton-Williams Obituary

Cynthia was born in Cambridge Springs, PA. Her parents, Beulah and Robert Horton, are both deceased. She was married to Berry Williams, who is also deceased. Cynthia completed her education at Edinboro University and went on to have a long career in Social Work. After retirement, Cynthia spent her time volunteering at a Child Care Center and at the Colorado Springs Visitor Bureau. She loved all her crafts, but was quite accomplished when it came to knitting. Many of us have crochet or knitted items from her that will serve as a remembrance.

Cynthia was full of life and will be missed by all who have known and loved her. She now rests in peace.

I hadn't seen Cyndi for about a year and knew she was ill, but it is still a major shock to know someone I considered I great friend Is gone. She was so full of fun and life. I had been trying to find her because I had missed seeing her, I guess I'll have to continue to miss her until we can get together to knit again.

My condolences to all of Cyndi's family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

To Cindy's family,

I took care of Cindy several times at Memorial Hospital, where I'm a respiratory therapist. We shared laughs and hugs and came to have what I believe was a special attachment for each other. I am saddened to hear of her death and wish comfort for each of you.

Please accept my condolences. I met Cindy in 1968 while attending ESC. She came home with me to Erie one weekend and she had a ball with the 9 other kids in the house. I remember how proud she was to be from Cambridge. She was always in a jovial mood and everyone in the dorm loved her. I sure she will be missed by many.
