Cynthia Ann SWALES

1949 - 2021

SWALES, Cynthia Ann Cynthia passed away peacefully the morning of January 20, 2021 at Lions Gate Hospital after a one year battle with brain cancer. Cynthia was born on September 14, 1949 in East Melbourne, Australia to Pearl and Alfred Swales. She moved to Vancouver in late 1974 where she worked in various law firms through to her retirement at the end of 2018. She developed a thriving network of friends in Vancouver who loved her deeply and became her Canadian family. We always worried she might decide not to return from her annual Australian visit with her extended family that she loved so much. We have come to know and love Cynthia's family and share their loss. Cynthia is survived by her devoted husband Russell Schluter, her sister Kathryn Swales and her niece Amber Pearl Swales.
