Cindy Sheehan Obituary
Born: September 9, 1966
Died: August 21, 2025 in Boston, MA
Cynthia (Piket) Sheehan, aged 58, of North Falmouth, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, MA on August 21, 2025. She was born on September 9, 1966, in Kalamazoo, Michigan to Philip H. and Louise A. Piket. The family soon moved to Joliet and then New Lenox, IL, where Cindy grew-up.
Cindy was a gifted artist and pursued her gift as an executive pastry chef and later, as an equally talented vice president of sales for an international chocolatier. While still living in the Chicago area Cindy's talents garnered her the honor of making two birthday cakes for former First Lady and Senator, Hilary D. Clinton, and a 2,000-pound cheesecake for Mayor, Richard M. Daley's millennium celebration.
Cindy was a dedicated and joyous person who shared her zest for life by welcoming family, friends and neighbors into her home to share in her amazing culinary skills. She also enjoyed providing and doing for others in many ways and, of course, shared her love of movies with everyone.
Cindy was the loving mother of Steffi (Jones) Moulton, and is also survived by her husband, Dan Sheehan, stepchildren, Danny and Kelsie Sheehan, parents, Phil and Lou Ann Piket, siblings and their spouses, Melinda and Tim (May), Jim and Maria, Jennifer and John (Fitzgerald) and Jenny and Steve (Goes), her grandmother, Louise Forsleff, her aunts and uncles, Kathleen and Dick Burgess, Delores James, Elizabeth Forsleff and Bruce West, Kathy Piket, John Chahbazi, and Maryann Chahbazi, and many loving cousins and nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Elmer and Florence Forsleff and Peter and Kathleen Piket, three uncles, Terrence Piket, Gary Forsleff, Jerry James, and one cousin, Beth James.
A Celebration of Life will be held October 11, 2025 in Illinois. If you knew Cindy and would like to attend the celebration please contact Melinda Piket-May through FaceBook or Jennifer Fitzgerald @ (815) 370-0634. In lieu of flowers, donations to World Central Kitchen in Cindy's name would be welcomed.
