Publish in a newspaper

Cynthia Jane (Picken) Brown, 79, of Tolland, CT, beloved wife of 57 years to Henry B. Brown, passed away surrounded by her family on Sunday, November 9, 2025. She was born on March 12, 1946, in Lowell, MA, daughter to the late Robert E. and Jane (Clark) Picken.
Cynthia grew up in North Chelmsford, MA, and was a graduate of Chelmsford High School. Following high school, she continued her education earning her associates degree from Westbrook Junior College in Maine and her bachelor's degree from Keene State College. She spent two years as an elementary school teacher then became a Mom for several years. She worked for H & R Block and the Manchester Board of Realtors before starting a career as a mortgage loan officer. Her passion for helping others showed in her volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity and her time spent counselling people who needed advice on getting in financial position to qualify for mortgages. She became a prolific quilter in retirement, giving dozens of quilts and wall hangings to family and friends over the years. A member of the Belknap Mill Quilting Association, she was heavily involved in the annual Quilt Show on a number of committees. She loved cards, tennis, golf, and bowling, but only if it involved social groups. Her biggest passion was playing board games and doing puzzles with her grandchildren.
In addition to her husband, Hank, she is survived by her son, Henry B. Brown, Jr. "Hal" of Coventry, CT; her daughter, Heather J. Kennedy of Tolland, CT; her three grandchildren, Katherine, Daniel, and Thomas; as well as her brother, Peter Picken and his wife Lewell of Scituate, MA.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at The Establishment, 75 Princeton St., North Chelmsford, MA. Ladd-Turkington & Carmon Funeral Home in Vernon, CT, are in care of the arrangements. To leave an online message of condolence for her family, please visit www.carmonfuneralhome.com.

Hank, so sorry to hear about Cynthia's passing. Please accept my deep sympathy and sincere condolences for your loss.
I haven't seen you for many years but always fondly remember your dad talking to me when he came into Page's Drug Store in The Center, where I worked with your brother Woody.
You probably are unaware that LTI is also my alma mater; I attended/graduated there after being discharged from the US Navy in 1971.
Regards, Ken Kimball
