Cynthia Kenny, 62, of Salem, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 26th after a period of declining health.

She grew up in Haverhill, MA, later living in Salisbury before settling in Salem. Cynthia will be remembered as a kind, thoughtful, and fun-loving woman who brought joy to those around her. Cynthia enjoyed the simple pleasures of life-going out to eat, listening to music especially Elvis and Bon Jovi and most of all, spending time with her family and friends. Her presence was a gift, and her laughter and love will be deeply missed.

Cynthia's life was enriched by the strong bonds she shared with those closest to her. They will forever cherish her memory. She leaves behind her sister-in-law Carol Cyran of Manchester, NH, and her nieces and nephews, Douglas Cyran Jr. and wife Elizabeth of Merrimack, NH, and Sarah Lockhart and husband Brian of Warner, NH, her great nieces and nephews, Lily and Zachary Cyran and Thomas and Joseph Lockhart.

She was predeceased by her parents Douglas and Kathleen Kenney, her brother Douglas M. Cyran and her niece, Stacey Cyran.

The funeral service will be Friday, September 5th at 10:00 AM at Douglas & Johnson Funeral Home, 214 Main St. Salem, NH. Please arrive by 9:45 AM. Burial will follow in West Parish Cemetery, Andover, MA.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Cynthia's memory may be sent to the Kimi Nichols Center, 17 East Rd. Plaistow, NH 03865.

Cindy Lou Hoo! You will be greatly missed. You would enter a room and the light and love that would illuminate off of you! I was so fortunate to spend time with you while you lived at Brady! I will cherish all our time together. God bless you! May God watch over your family as they navigate through this difficult time.

I cared and supported Cindy over the last few years. She has a special place in my heart as she shared the same name as my Mom, known as Cindy to friends and always Cynthia to family. Cindy spread happiness to all, with her beautiful smile. I know she enjoyed the time we spent together. Never complained when I sang songs to her (unlike most - as I don´t carry a tune well). One I made sure to include in our sing s longs was `The Cindy Song´ sung by Johnny Cash.

My sincere condolences to her loving family and those that knew her. She will be missed.

Best,
Mary Flynn
