She was 87 years old. Born on 11 July 1936 in Hagerstown, MD to John Freeman Sinn (Father) and Violet Thomas Sinn (Mother) was a long-time federal employee of 38 years. She was an accomplished artist, musician, world traveler, and seamstress, with all aspects of her talents dedicated for providing joy to others. Her continuous desire to help other people, learn new things, and understand other cultures is part of why everyone who knew her, loved her.

She is preceded in her passing by her mother, father, and brother Rev. Thomas F. Sinn.

We will always miss Cindy but we know she's in heaven. Whenever Cindy and Lee traveled, I would water their plants and sometimes get mail. She would always give us a beautiful and unique gift for our home. God bless her. Bobbie and Tooie Gemmell.

We lived next door to Cindy and Lee for about 25 years. Whenever someone moved into the neighborhood, Cindy would plan a welcome party at their home. When they were away, I'd water their indoor plants. She'd always give me a beautiful gift for my home. We have many beautiful memories of this sweet, kind soul.

Cindy was a life long friend which began when I met her in 7th grade. I have such great memories of our times together and will treasure her love and friendship until we met again. My sincere sympathy to Lee, Chris and her family in their loss of such a caring and beautiful wife, mother and devoted friend. May her soul rest in peace.
Love, Margie Conner
