Cynthia Rose Obituary
Dr. Cynthia Rose of Colorado Springs, CO passed away in the company of immediate family on the morning of the summer solstice, June 21 2023.
Dr. Rose is an alumna of Tufts University and Boston University Medical school, medical internship at the San Francisco Medical Center, then fellowship and adult and child psychiatric residencies at the University or Colorado in Denver. Upon moving to Colorado Springs in 1969 she served as the Medical Director of the Pikes Peak Mental Health Center until devoting her time exclusively to private practice and ultimately psychoanalysis. Her education continued throughout her lifetime with additional board certifications, and finally psychoanalytic training. She remained active professionally until the time of her death.
Positions of distinction include her leadership as the first woman president of the Colorado Psychiatric Society, western region president of the American Psychiatric Society, and President of the Denver Psychoanalytic Society.
Her passions included travel both as pilot and passenger, with personal and professional travel providing "a wonderful opportunity" to broaden her perspective and make many close friends.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday July 30 2023 in Colorado Springs. RSVP to 303-395-3395.

As Gary, below, states, Cynthia was a very special person. I am one of those fortunate people who owe my continued existence on the planet to her. Many times my existence was tenuous but Cynthia never gave up on me. It is her trust in humanity and in me in particular that developed into me trusting and knowing myself. Her dedicated help for over 40 years as one of her "patients" is what I can attest to. I am so pleased that I have internalized a voice with such courage, devotion, integrity, acceptance, and care within myself. I too did not get to "close"with her and say goodbye but I did get to say, along the way, how important she was to me. I know that her closest friends and family must be hurting right now as I am. Please accept my condolences and warm thoughts in this time. And, may the joy of knowing and carrying her within our hearts soften the blow of loss for you.

Cynthia was a very special soul! She made the world a better place for me and I trust many others. Her family, friends, loved ones and patients all have my deepest condolences, and heartfelt sympathy, for their loss from Cynthia´s passing.
In my life no one else has been so helpful, caring and inspirational. For more than 35 years she was the "co-pilot" who helped me navigate my way through this regularly disheartening, sometimes joyous, confusing and often overwhelming experience we call Life. Words can´t express how blessed I´ve been to have Cynthia in my life. If she was not my guardian angel, my angel surely brought us together.
I will miss her terribly, as I know many will. It was difficult not being able to say goodbye or to express my profound thanks to her. But Cynthia will not be forgotten. She was courageous, wonderful and deeply dedicated to helping people. Not everyone is blessed with knowing such a special soul as Cynthia in their life. Thank you Cynthia! And sincere thanks to her grieving loved ones who shared her special soul with me and many others.
