Cynthia was a dear lifelong friend of my Aunt Jeanne Flynn. They taught together at Bear Path and travelled together to many places: Barbados, France, Australia and more. I knew her as a child when Aunt Jeanne brought me to help with setting up their classroom bulletin boards (they were both weak at art) and again as an adult when I travelled twice with her and Jeanne on Mediterranean cruises, along with my parents. I enjoyed her intelligent company so much— she also had great personal style. I’m sorry to hear that Cynthia is gone, as is Jeanne, but I will hold many fond memories of her.
