Cynthia FUHR Obituary

Published by Edmonton Journal from Feb. 26 to Feb. 27, 2012.
FUHR, Cynthia Elaine (nee Romaniuk)
August 20, 1947 to February 22, 2012
We are very sad to announce the loss of our lovely Cynthia on February 22, 2012 at the age of 64 years.
Cynthia was born in Edmonton, AB and spent an adventure-filled childhood in the foothills of Alberta before relocating with her family to Wabamun in 1959. After high school, she moved to Edmonton, attending McTavish Business College and accepting a position at Pitfield McKay Ross investment bankers upon graduation. She married her soulmate Reuben Fuhr on March 14, 1969 and together they built a life of family, friends, love and adventure. Cynthia's energy, creativity and passion shone throughout her life as she focused herself on family and a wealth of pursuits: knitting, painting, needlework, gardening, dog obedience, yoga, music, travel, swimming, hiking, golfing, camping, and many others. Cynthia is survived by her husband Reuben; three children, Michelle (Charles) Ward of Sherwood Park, Charlene Fuhr of Birch Cove, and Bradley (Rebecca) Fuhr of Okotoks; eight grandchildren, Sophia, Gabriela and Ciara Ward, Anika and Portia Fuhr Kuharic, Aurora, Ewan and Olivia Fuhr; mother Hermine Romaniuk; sister Sylvia (Keith) Fuhr; and nephews, nieces and friends. She was predeceased by her father Michael Romaniuk. Cynthia will be remembered by family and friends for her radiant smile and beauty, caring and welcoming nature, unique dancing style, love of the mountains, mischievous sense of humour and infectious giggle, impeccable style, organizational talents and resourcefulness, and courage, strength and grace in and out of adversity.
A Prayer Vigil will be held on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. and a Mass of Christian Burial on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.; both at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church (13 Brower Drive, Sherwood Park). If friends so desire, donations in Cynthia's memory may be made to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, albertacancer.ca.
