She was Born in Warwick, RI. On January 10, 1957 to Pasquale A. Palumbo , Ann E. (Jervis) Palumbo of Coventry, RI, and her brother Michael E. Palumbo. Cynthia was very fond of where she grew up in Coventry, RI. Telling stories of the memories she had growing up there brought her so much joy. She moved to Vermont with the dream of building a log home from the trees on the land and living a more simpler life. With lots of children, and lots of love. She was a lover of all things nature, Christmas, her pets and cooking for her family and friends. There was nothing she loved more then spending quality time with family, sitting around the table having a cup of coffee and taking in the life around her that she worked so hard to make. She enjoyed her mountain and all that surrounded her. She lived everyday for her family and made sure they knew how much she loved them. She was a selfless beautiful soul who gave so much light to anyone she encountered. She was a loving mother, wife, grandmother and friend. She was the light to all of our lives. She is missed beyond words.
