AGE: 63 • Wilmington, Delaware

On September 9, 2016 Cynthia, caring mother and grandmother, passed gently into the arms of our Lord while surrounded by her loving family. She was 63 and was born in Wilmington, DE to the late Joseph R. and Mae E. (nee' Robinson) Hoon.

Cynthia graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School, Milford School of Nursing and Immaculata University. She began her nursing career at Riverside Hospital and then joined The Delaware Division (later Christiana Care Health Systems). She was an amazing trauma nurse, nursing mentor, ACLS Instructor and trauma and emergency researcher. Cynthia made a lasting impact on the lives of her patients, co-workers and colleagues.

In her personal time she enjoyed traveling, reading, gardening and most of all spending time with her family. She especially loved the time spent with her three granddaughters. In her youth she was on the Bowling Team for Mt Pleasant High School and later learned to ski, white water raft and even play tennis for the USTA.

In addition to her parents, Cynthia was predeceased by her brother, Harry J. White. She is survived by her daughter, Jean-Marie (nee' Hoon) Garrett; son-in-law, Jerry T. Garrett; granddaughters, Mina, Miley and Emily Garrett; her brothers, Joseph R. Hoon Jr. (Mary Jo Hoon) and William R. White III (Georgianna White) and their families. She also leaves to cherish her memory numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
