Obituary for Cynthia Ann Ahern

Cynthia "Cindy" Ann (Lamb) Ahern, 62, of Rockland, beloved wife for 40 years of Gerard T. Ahern, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 4, 1963, and raised in Mattapan, she was the daughter of the late Edward and Alice (Megarry) Lamb, with Alice having come to America in 1946 from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Cindy was a graduate of St. Gregory High School in Dorchester.

Cindy was a confidant to all who sought her counsel, and she was honest to a fault beyond her control. She enjoyed the comfort of company around a backyard fire, the summer sunshine by the poolside with the shared laughs of friends and family, and the familiar comfort of a high-top table on the bar side of the restaurant so she could see the Keno TV and watch her numbers.

Committed to her children, Cindy dedicated her life to raising them. Family gatherings were a joy to her. A loving mother and Nana, she will forever be missed by her four children and their spouses, Katelyn Ahern of Pembroke; Gerard and Ally Ahern of Whitman; Andrew and Leah Ahern of Mattapan; and Michael Ahern of Dorchester; as well as her adored grandchildren, Gerard "Little Gerry" and Madison Ahern, Lucy Ahern, and two more grandchildren on the way. The youngest of six children, she is survived by her siblings, Edward Lamb, Kenneth Lamb, June Morrissey, Brian Lamb, and Nancy O'Brien.

Flowers are welcome. However, in lieu of flowers, consider playing a 5-spot Keno game in her memory with her numbers: 04, 07, 11, 22, 63.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Saint Gregory Church, 2215 Dorchester Avenue, DORCHESTER on Tuesday, February 3rd at 10AM. Interment at Saint Joseph Cemetery.
