Cynthia Sagarsee, beloved wife of the late Ronald Sagarsee, passed away peacefully at the hospital following a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Circleville, Ohio, to Mary Ellen Tootle and Dolth R. Wolfe, Cynthia was lovingly cared for by her late aunt and uncle, Milton and Kathryn Tootle, for many years. She later made her home in Noble County, Indiana, where she built a life filled with love, hard work, and family.
Cynthia dedicated 25 years of service to Dexter Axle in Albion, where she was known for her strong work ethic, kindness, and deep commitment to her coworkers and community.
She was a cherished mother to Sedrick (Amijo) Sagarsee and a devoted grandmother to Logan and Phoebe Sagarsee. Cynthia was also a loving sister to Brenda & Ellen Troutman, Susan Brinkley, Rosemary Elder, and Marjorie Tootle, and was preceded in death by her brother, Roger Wolfe.
Cynthia will also be remembered fondly by her close nieces and nephews - Jeff Kuhn, Tracy Andrix, and Shelly Adcock - as well as many other nieces, nephews, and cousins who loved her dearly.
A resident of Albion, Indiana, Cynthia touched the lives of all who knew her with her warmth, compassion, and generosity of spirit.
Two Celebrations of Life will be held to honor Cynthia: one in Albion, Indiana, on October 24, and another in Circleville, Ohio, on October 25. Times and locations will be announced once finalized.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to assist with medical and funeral expenses.
Cynthia's memory will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
