Cinnamon Marie Howard

Cinnamon Marie Howard, affectionately known as Cin, was born October 6, 1973 in Northern California and died in her home on August 7, 2023 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, after a tough battle with Ovarian Cancer.

Cin grew up in the Pacific Northwest and found her way to colorful Colorado in the 1990's, where she discovered her youthful spirit and genuine love for life. Cinnamon is the proud mother of four beautiful children. Colorado was where she decided to raise and teach each of her kids the purest love a mother could give.

Cinnamon was active in each of her children's lives and supported them with every football & basketball game, concession stand shift, and travelling tournament. She was the most loving mother and everyone's biggest cheerleader. Cinnamon always had your back!

Times were not always easy for Cin and her kids, but regardless of what life threw at her, she always pushed forward. Anyone who knew Cinnamon, knew she didn't live for her work, but worked to give the life she always wanted for her kids and cherished the time she had. Anyone in her presence was bound to laugh until they cried and listen to (at least) one Justin Bieber song.

Her greatest joy was watching her kids laugh, cry, succeed, and go through life's mysteries. Throughout the years as her kids entered adulthood, it was important for Cin to create family traditions. These traditions that would bring her kids together every year, no matter where they were in life. Mother's Day and birthday traditions at the Melting Pot will continue to live in the hearts of her children.

When Cinnamon was first diagnosed, she quickly became an advocate and walking motivation for Ovarian Cancer Awareness and worked closely with organizations like Sue's Gift. Her strength touched everyone she met during her journey and her smile gave everyone the hope they needed.

Cinnamon is preceded in death by Daniel Chaussee (father) and Rodney Baudizzon (brother) and survived by Kathleen Chaussee (mother), Kimberly Hall (sister), Samara Stafford (daughter), Elijah Hobdy (son), Jaidyn Hobdy (son), Rylan Howard (son), and her beloved dog Macy. She will be greatly missed by all.

There will be a Celebration of Life: Sunday, September 17th, 2023, 2pm at John Venzia Park, House Pavilion (East - closet to the seasonal restrooms and largest parking lot), 3555 Briargate Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80920.
