Cynthia Keck Youngblood, 53, of Newcastle, Wash., passed away at her home, surrounded by her family, on Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2010.
Cynthia Diane Keck, the second of five daughters born to Raymond and Shirley Keck of Berlin, Wis., entered into this world on April 14, 1957, born in Columbus, Wis.
She grew up on her parents' dairy farm in Berlin.
Cindy graduated from Berlin High School and went on to earn degrees in fine arts and teaching at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
She left for the state of Alaska in 1986, where she accepted a job on a fishing boat. It was there that she met her husband, Jon Youngblood.
Cynthia and Jon were married and raised two children together. She worked as a homeschool teacher. Her passions were poetry, drawing and freelance writing, drawing inspiration from her Christian faith.
Cynthia will be remembered as being a source of comfort to those in pain, a mentor to creative minds, and a compassionate listener to those who faltered. She was the first to forgive and the last to receive. "Sacrificial love for the sake of others" defined her life; she was truly a good and faithful servant.
