Cynthia’s passion was evangelism; by the power of the Lord, Cynthia’s spiritual legacy is eternal, as the Lord used her to lead countless family and friends to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?” She said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.” (John 11:25-27)

A memorial service celebrating Cynthia’s life and the Lord’s Victory is 11 a.m. Monday, March 12, at Willerup United Methodist Church in Cambridge, Wisconsin, with lunch and fellowship to follow.
