Death
Baroness Cynthia passed away on the morning of June 3rd, 2018.
Cynthia had a rough childhood and escaped into arts and crafts and the joys of medieval recreation. She retired after 20 years working for the County of San Diego as a Supervisor for Health and Human Services. Helping people was always a strong suit. She mentored many people over the years in a variety of settings. She started a lace making guild called Arachne’s Web and enjoyed making glass Viking beads. She enjoyed camping medieval style with friends in the Society for Creative Anachronism and had won many awards and titles for arts and service, including the title “Baroness.” At one camping event in particular she suddenly became very popular when people realized she could make beads in the shape of a woman’s bust or a man’s member. She cackled with joy as she churned those beads out at that event and the waitlist was long to get one. Never married, she had one long term relationship of 12 years and no children but she loved cats and dogs. She immensely enjoyed travel and had been thrilled when she went to England and to Hawaii. There will be an abbreviated Viking style memorial held in Great Western War 2018. (Full obituary [1])
