Obituary
POSTONS, Cynthia Ann (July 1, 1955 to November 29, 2022)
“I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason.”
Our family is so sad to announce the death of Cynthia Ann Postons, on November 29, 2022, with her family close by her side.
Cynthia was diagnosed with cancer in June of 2021, an illness that she bravely faced with grace and dignity. She was our ‘Princess Warrior’ until the very end, and she amazed us with her determination and strength.
She is survived by her husband John, brother John Lansing, daughter Nancy (Wesley), son Jamie (Rachel) and grandson Alex, as well as cousins Aly (Corey), Debbie (Rob), Scott (Barb), Jeff (Steph), Robert (Ann), John (Wendy), and a core group of special friends that were always more like family, including Lois (Bob), Biz (Don), and Jill (late Bill- 2015).
Cynthia will also be greatly missed by her Postons, Ferreras, Feliz, and Stewart families, who share our loss and tristeza (sadness). Her canine family members, Tessa Bessa and Lexi Lady, were so special to her.
Cynthia was born in Es, Ontario, the daughter of Roger and Gloria Lansing. Educated at the University of Windsor, she was a much-loved teacher, having taught at six different schools in the Greater Es County District School Board. Following “retirement”, she assumed control of Postons Counselling and Therapy as Office Manager and behind-the-scenes organizer!
Throughout her lifetime, Cynthia lived a life of fun, adventure, love, creativity, and positivity. These qualities shone throughout everything she did.
There were so many things that brought Cynthia joy. Christmas time, Broadway musicals, sing-a-longs, travelling, camping, and TV crime dramas were just a few. She was a masterful entertainer, a fabulous cook and baker, an organizer and decorator, and a lover of all things whimsical and sparkly.
Family was everything to Cynthia and she was a fiercely devoted friend. People who knew her “have been changed for good.”
We want to celebrate her life in style – by throwing a party she would have wanted to host, and one where our sadness is outweighed by the joy of remembering her beautiful life.
Put on your sparkles and bling and join us on December 16th, from 4-6pm at the Pelee Island Winery, 455 Seacliff Drive, Kingsville, ON for a celebration of life. Parking located in the back.
The event begins at 4pm with a lively reception, followed by an upbeat program of stories and music. Wine, beer, and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Come for the beginning and stay ‘til the end.
Cynthia will be right there with us, “like a handprint on our hearts.”
Our family is deeply grateful to the medical professionals from Windsor-Es and London who gave Cynthia such skilled and compassionate care.
Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the ALS Society of Canada, an organization that was near to Cynthia’s heart.
Last of all, thank you to the Broadway musical Wicked for the quotes used throughout this announcement and the inspiration you gave to Cynthia.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Cynthia Ann Postons November 29 2022..
