Cynthia “Cyndy” Cook

QUEENSBURY – Cynthia “Cyndy” Cook, 68, of Queensbury,  was met in Heaven by her parents and grandson, Matthew Blake, on Saturday, August 21, 2021.

Born on May 24, 1953 in Glens Falls, she was the daughter of the late George and Gladys Williams. 

Cyndy was a graduate of Lake George School then continued her education at Adirondack Community College.  She took great pride in her work as a bookkeeper, where she worked for various companies throughout the area. 

Cyndy was a wonderful baker, often selling her cakes, jams and jellies.  Her preferred pastime was creating her own homemade liquors including apple pie smooth moonshine, Kahlua, amaretto, limoncello and her favorite, toasted almond drink.  Needless to say, everyone wanted to be Cyndy’s friend and she enjoyed making memories, as well as the drinks.  She was a talented seamstress and could fix any clothing her friends and family needed.  Cyndy took great pleasure in crocheting items for her family and friends, even with her rheumatoid arthritis.  She was a bright light in the lives of her loved ones and will be missed.

Besides her parents, Cyndy was predeceased by her grandson, Matthew Blake and her brother in law, Drew Echols.

Survivors include her daughter, Rachel Benson; her grandson, Tyler Blake and Kyle Russo-Lashway; her sister, Susan Echols; her niece, Leigh Belair-Yole and her grandnieces and grandnephew, Briehana, Danelle Murphy and Jacob Yole.

Cyndy’s family would like to thank the medical staff on T3 at Glens Falls Hospital and the staff at Albany Medical Center for the wonderful care, compassion and love given to Cyndy and her family.

Services will be private, at a later date.

Memorial donations in memory of Cyndy may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 2 Pine West Plaza #202, Albany, NY 12205 or Rheumatoid Arthritis Foundation, Help Fight RA, 8815 Conroy Windermere Rd. Suite 309, Orlando, FL 32835.
