Obits A Cindy
Cindy L. Ward
Born on Dec. 6, 1949 in Harrisburg, Pa. Ward was predeceased by her husband of 43years, Rodney L. Ward, who died April 21, 2019, and her parents, Doris Heisey Commings and Charles Frances Commings.
A published children's book author (Cookie's Week), Cindy was a kind soul with a huge heart. She was a lover of cats and all animals, proper usage of grammar, creative writing, poetry, the television show "Monk," happy meals from McDonalds, beautiful hand-written notes, pizza dates with her husband, people watching on the Boardwalk and The Dispatch newspaper. Cindy passed away three months after her husband, Rodney, who died on Easter.
Cindy worked in The Dispatch's art department for more than 35 years, including 30 years as art director. She was a dedicated staff member who never missed a week of work until her health ailments made it impossible for her. She was a loyal, detail-oriented and organized type who took great pride in her work at the newspaper. While shy by nature, Cindy impacted many people in the community with her caring and compassionate dedication to animals, especially her beloved cats.
Cindy is survived by her sister, Karen Commings, and her sister-in-law, Deb Shepler, both of Harrisburg, Pa.; her feral friends who she often put before herself; and a wonderful group of friends who were like family to her. The family would like to thank all her wonderful friends who cared for Cindy and Rodney during their extended illnesses.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Donations in her memory may be made to Kenille's Kupboard Pet Pantry & Rescue, Inc., PO Box 589, Ocean City, Md. 21842 or the Community Cats Coalition, PO Box 1761, Berlin, Md. 21811.
