Munro, Cinderella "Cindy" Helen Jean (MacKinnon) - Whycocomagh, Age 89
After a life well lived, Cindy passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 29th, 2020 at Alderwood Rest Home, Baddeck. Born July 24th, 1931 in East Lake Ainsle, she was the daughter of David and Annie (Butterworth) MacKinnon.
Cindy spent her childhood on the hills of her beloved farm with her siblings, Agnes, Irene, Mary, Lena, Lauchie, Edgar and Sheila; then moved to Sydney to further her education finishing grade eleven at Sydney Academy. After this accomplishment, Cindy spent five years in Halifax where she was a telephone supervisor at MT&T. Back in Cape Breton, while attending a shivaree, Cindy met her future husband, Stewart Munro.
They were the first couple to be married at Grant United Church on June 10th, 1954. While living in Whycocomagh they raised their three children, Anne, John and Rodney. Cindy was a wonderful homemaker and one was always welcomed into her home to enjoy good conversation, many laughs and a cup of tea. After her children were grown, Cindy enjoyed her work at the Fair Isle Motel. She loved to travel to visit family that lived away or would often have family stay with her on their visits to Cape Breton. Mostly, she cherished the time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and always had a cookie waiting for them in the cupboard.
Cindy will be lovingly remembered and is survived by her husband, Stewart; her children and their families: Anne & Ken Dorey and grandsons, Andrew and Neal, Bedford; John & Carole Munro and grandchildren, Lindsey (Jamie), Jonathan (Barb), Matthew, Blake and Callie, Whycocomagh; Rodney & Joanie Munro and granddaughters, Emma and Grace, Whycocomagh; her great-grandchildren, Rhylyn, Anthony, Zander and Quinn; her sister, Mary (Bill) Egan; and her many nieces and nephews. Cindy was predeceased by her parents, four sisters, two brothers and her great-granddaughter, Alaina.
During Cindy’s last few years, she was blessed to receive wonderful care by local Home Care support and while living at Foyer Pere Fiset and in Loch Bhreagh at Alderwood Rest Home.
