On January 14, 2020, Cynthia Anne Sinnott of Campbell River, BC, passed from this life into the arms of Jesus. She arrived at the world, to her parents Gladys and Charles Ball, on January 7, 1934, in Paget, Bermuda. Cynthia chose a career path that would lead her in spiritual growth. She graduated as a RN in 1954 from King Edward VII Memorial Hospital in Bermuda. Then she arrived in Victoria, BC, and started a BSc in nursing at Victoria College. It was during this time that she met Gerald Patrick Sinnott, and they continued their studies at UBC and married on December 20, 1958. In 1960, they settled in Victoria, and Cynthia became a nursing instructor at St. Joseph’s Hospital. From 1977 to ’89, Cynthia was a nurse at the Campbell River Hospital and became Head Nurse at the ECU. She became an associate to the Sisterhood St. John the Divine and expressed a prayer relationship with the Sisterhood.

Cynthia is survived by her loving husband, Gerald Sinnott, with whom she was married for 61 years. She was the cherished mother of Susan, Patricia and Katherine (Dale), with six loving grandchildren: Kyla, Rachel, Liam, James, Owen and Anna.
