Cynthia R. Salmon
1960-2024
We are devastated to announce the death of Cynthia Rose Salmon at the age of only 64 years, which occurred on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at the Upper River Valley Hospital, Waterville.
Cindy was born in Bath, NB and was the eldest child of the late Paul and Stella Salmon (Budrow). She was also predeceased by her beloved sister, Susan Watson.
It’s impossible to convey the formidable, exuberant presence we have lost in Cindy’s passing. For those who loved her, the loss is a chasm that can never be filled. Cindy was spontaneous, creative, and filled every moment of life with fun-even the difficult ones. She loved profoundly, and loved none more than husband Floyd and only child, Candace. There was nothing she would not do for them, and ultimately, she fought against an impossible medical condition and beat the odds for over a decade to share every possible moment with them.
Cindy’s most frequent parenting motto was, “have all the fun you can have,” a recognition of her understanding that our time in this world is short and joy is paramount. She never stopped planning for the next adventure, and up until 48 hours before her passing, was knitting a sweater for her canine “baby boy” and planning a move to Ottawa.
Cindy is survived by her husband Floyd Cronkhite and daughter Candace Salmon; canine son Fergus; sister Sandra Gagnon; niece Samantha Arndt; nephews Gerard Gagnon and Bradley (Brianne) Watson; aunts Shirley (Gerald) Denny and Shirley Clark; step-mother Louanna Salmon Demerchant (Howard); numerous treasured cousins, extended family and friends, including Tammy Kearney, who despite any geographic distance in their lives remained the best and most loyal of friends and Anne Inman and Stacey Lloyd, who rearranged their lives to be present and supportive in difficult times. Our gratitude is forever.
Visitation will be held at L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors, 207 Burnham Rd. Florenceville-Bristol on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, from 12:00pm - 2:00pm. A graveside service will follow at the Mineral Cemetery. Snacks and the party will be held at 40 Mountain View Crescent, Oakland, after the service. The party is what Cindy really wanted. Although the sorrow we feel is deep, we know that joy cometh in the morning. We can find it together, even in the darkest of times. All are welcome to bring their light to these post-service shenanigans.
Our eternal thanks to the Moncton City Hospital and Dr. Kathy Ferguson, Dr. Kristina Kemp and Nurse Kelly, Dr. James Hudson and the incredible hospital nursing staff for years of exceptional care. Thanks also to Dr. Muhammad Hossain at URVH for the most kind and gentle care in the end.
For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the Moncton City Hospital Foundation. In lieu of flowers or donations, though, Cindy would want you to take that money and go on a spontaneous adventure with someone that you love. Have all the fun you can have.
Cindy will rest forever in view of our beloved Moose Mountain, from where generations of our family have come. We take some peace in knowing that at the end, we all go back to the mountain.
“I lift my eyes up to the mountain from whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.” … Psalm 121
