Obituary
Cynthia Ann Whitworth, age 58, joined her sister Karen in heaven on Friday October 18, 2013.
Cindy was born in Fullerton, California on September 3, 1955 to her parents Ruth and Gordon Montgomery. Cindy was a very strong minded and resourceful person and was well liked by everyone she met. She was always up to date on what was happening. She attended college in Kent Washington studying Physical Therapy and recently she completed a four-year bible course at her Episcopalian Church in Redondo Beach. She spent quality time raising her son Christopher, and her daughter Chelsi. She included the Montgomery name in Chris’s middle name. Cynthia often spoke of the Beattitudes. One, that would define her life. ‘Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after rightiousness: for they shall be filled.’ Matthew 5, 6. Another that she felt would apply to us, the family and friends today. ‘Blessed are they that mourn:for they shall be comforted.’ Matthew 5,4
Her son, Chris, and daughter-in-law Melissa brought into this world twins, Cody and Brianna and recently another grandson Owen was born. He is 9 weeks old. When Chelsi and Sean brought their son Grayson into the world she stayed often with them and helped her daughter with Grayson. Cindy spent most of her time for and with her gandchildren. She was a loving and devoted Mom and grandma.
Cindy has two sisters, Sue and Karen. Sue is married to Jim Toner and they have two children Shaina and Grant. Sue named her daughter Shaina Karen Toner and her son James Grant Toner, using her sisters name Karen and her dad’s middle name Grant. Sue and Cindy raised their families together. Shaina and Chelsi are very close and Grant fits right in with them. They both loved Aunt Cindy and their cousins, Cody, Brianna, Owen, and Grayson and they loved babysitting.
Cindy and Chelsi accompanied The Toner family on many trips over the years,New York, Hawaii and Florida and many closer places.
Her other sister Karen crossed ovcer in 1981 Cindy asked to be placed with her.

Psalm 48, Psalm 23
Reflections of the Heart:
It is very difficult to say “good-bye” to a loved one. The pain can be unbearable. If you have experienced the death of a loved one, let the Lord love and comfort you.
Scriptural Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, may Cynthia Whitworth be honored. You can count the stars and call them all by name. Your power is absolute. Your understanding is beyond comprehension. You support the humble and bring the wicked down into the dust. You comfort those who mourn. We declare that those grieving the death of a loved one; mourning will turn into dancing. We confess that You are their rock, fortress, and Savior in whom they will find protection. You are their shield, and the strength of their salvation. Father, You are their stronghold. As they call on You, You have promised to answer. We believe that You will be with them during this period of bereavement, rescue them from grief, honor them, and give them Your salvation. AMEN
May God continue to bless your family,
Leah

For Sweet Cynthia and her Family
Safely Home
I am in Heaven, dear one; Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus’ arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth—
You shall rest in Jesus’ land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come.
My prayers are with you Gordon, Ruth, Susie, Christopher, Chelsi and your extended family. May peace be upon you all,
Love, Lyn White

Ten years ago I moved to California, Cindy was waiting there for me with a masseuse. That was Cindy. If there was a party, you would find her in the kitchen making sure everyone was taken care of and things got cleaned up. She was sober kind and generous to a fault. She kept everyone’ s ducks in a row. She brought to beautiful children into the world and was devoted to them. Most of my fondest memories over the last decade include Cindy. I was blessed to have her in my life. She was beautiful inside and out. I have posted some of the fun times we shared over the years. I will miss her so much. She was a special soul. My love goes out to her family and friends, I feel your pain. We will never be able to replace her, but it was a blessing to have her in our lives.
