Many fond memories rushing through my head in just the eleven short years I have known Cindy, I cant imagine what Mary is feeling. We packed a bag and headed to the airport for the ride north, I didn't want to drive. We rented a room at the Montchanin Inn and would get a good nights sleep for Saturdays service.
Mary got to see many of her friends and everyone shared such special memories. Cindy was a fiercely loyal friend, a compassionate care giver and she loved what she did, starting way back in trauma and on to research medicine. The service was very nice, tying into to her many years of service to patients, family and friends. Cindy always had a way of showing up in your hospital room without having to call her. You knew when she was on board things would be good to go, you were in good hands.
I know this isn't really about flying except for the trip north and back but sometimes we have to take in everything around us and document certain aspects of what makes us who and what we are. We will miss our friend and Mary will miss her "big sister". Cindy takes a piece of our hearts with her and leaves us with many special memories...We love you Cindy.

Cynthia, caring mother and grandmother, passed gently into the arms of our Lord
while surrounded by her loving family. She was 63 and was born in Wilmington,
DE to the late Joseph R. and Mae E. (nee’ Robinson) Hoon.
Cynthia graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School, Milford School of Nursing and Immaculata University. She began her nursing career at Riverside Hospital and then joined The Delaware Division (later Christiana Care Health Systems). She was an amazing trauma nurse, nursing mentor, ACLS Instructor and trauma and emergency researcher. Cynthia made a lasting impact on the lives of her patients, co-workers and colleagues.
In her personal time she enjoyed traveling, reading, gardening and most of all spending time with her family. She especially loved the time spent with her three granddaughters. In her youth she was on the Bowling Team for Mt Pleasant High School and later learned to ski, white water raft and even play tennis for the USTA.
In addition to her parents, Cynthia was predeceased by her brother, Harry J. White. She is survived by her daughter, Jean-Marie (nee’ Hoon) Garrett; son-in-law, Jerry T. Garrett; granddaughters, Mina, Miley and Emily Garrett; her brothers, Joseph R. Hoon Jr. (Mary Jo Hoon) and William R. White III (Georgianna White) and their families. She also leaves to cherish her memory numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
