We knew Cynthia from Cannon Mountain. She taught our daughter Hannah to ski and we just loved her! She was so enthusiastic and full of energy and passion for her job. I didn't know much about her personal life until reading this obituary, but what an interesting life she led. Our condolences go out to her loved ones.

We, the Cannon Family, parents and grandparents of the incredibly lucky toddlers Miss Cynthia taight will forever be thankful for Miss Cynthia. Our children learned so much in their year of Polar Bears with her...and WE learned as well! Within 3 weeks our babies grew into little skiers who, 1. Zipped their own jackets, 2. Carried their own skis and most impressively, 3. Were flying down Garies, always in control, by the end of the season!! God Bless Miss Cynthia. Please know that you are in our hearts and on our skiis. We will miss you!

My dear Cindy, what can I say? We licked ice cream together, threw our caps in the air together. You were my maid of honor, and I was yours. We were so different, yet so much the same. We shared so much, and yet shared so little. Life felt so long, and yet was too short. We understood each other so much, and yet sometimes did not, and now none of that matters. Now you are so far, and I hold you so close. You were my rock, now I wish for a single grain of sand in Woods Hole, a glint of sun on the water in Alexandria, and the sea-smoothed pebbles near Nobska lighthouse, the smell of the best lobster and New England coffee in thick white mugs, thick humid air that makes roses and sweet pea bloom, and our thick hair we could hardly brush, thick friendship no one can touch, these memories belonged solely to us, but now is the time to share them to others. I look forward to helping you live in the hearts of those who wanted to know, if they should ask me, and be your light, if they would want me there. Always your best friend, Ruth

Cynthia was a remarkable human being. I was lucky to know her back in the Hardy School days. She was truly a gifted artist and lover of nature. Her work on the Beautification Committee was much appreciated (and still is) by all!! She was special and her light will be missed. My heart and prayers go out to all those who were close to her. Our loss on Earth is surely Heaven's gain.

I was heartbroken to hear that Cynthia is no longer with us. She was my friend for only a few years, but I considered her a dear friend. I'm not surprised to learn from her obituary how accomplished she was.
I can confirm that she was a terrific bike rider. We cycled 100s of miles together and I was looking forward to doing more ... plus the socials afterward!
I extend my deepest sympathies to Cynthia's daughters, Jim (who I also met on the P2P) and other family and friends.

Rich was just saying about the girls and teaching them to water ski up north in Michigan, it was fun watching them all grow up, Cindy had a smile that just lit up the room. Love you all and hope to see you here in Fl.

I was fortunate enough to share in Cynthia's greatest joy (and Jim's) the upbringing of her two magnificent girls. Cynthia was positive, happy and driven. Nothing could keep her from what she strived. RIP girl, you will certainly be missed by many....Love, Helen

Sierra, Nobska, and Jim, we are so sorry for your loss. I got to know Cynthia a bit when Elise and Sierra were in daycare together, and she was the kind of person who was always so warm and friendly to everyone she had ever met. One thing that I have always remembered is when we went to Sierra's 5th birthday party and near the end of the party Cynthia had a time set aside for the parents to go in the bounce house. She was always so full of fun.

Cynthia was a mentor to me when I taught young children skiing at Cannon Mountain. She used to begin the beginner skiers with a somersault in the snow before they even put their skis on.
She taught me to think like a child. To be in never-never land with them. I will always remember the get ready tree that she designated for beginners to remember to prepare for dismounting the chairlift.
I taught side by side with her during the Massachusetts week when it was all instructors on deck for the February school break. I taught with her and one of her daughters. I was a better person for it. She was extremely gifted with children.
I will also never forget her long flowing hair. It was long and gorgeous! I remember she used to tell me she would like to maybe retire in Franconia. And she did, because she will always live here in our hearts at Cannon Mountain

A warm and caring individual that was always ready to help. We took our Level I PSIA certification together and inspired each other in completing the required tasks. I feel most fortunate to have known Cynthia and to have worked together with her teaching skiing at Cannon Mt.

I was an old neighbor of Cindy's back in the 60s . I recently became Facebook friends with her mom Beverly. I never did find her on Facebook but I would have loved to catch up on our lives. I just finished Reading her Legacy above, Wow I could see she was a very driven women, very artistic and loved life. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
