In loving memory of Cynthia, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, great-

grandmother and friend. Cynthia was a fighter and never gave up, even in trying times. She was fiercely stubborn (like most of the family!) with what she believed in. Cynthia was loving, supportive, kind and caring and did everything she could to help others despite her own personal difficulties.

We would like to thank the nursing staff at Pinewood and Lakeside for all her care and the staff at the hospital for making her comfortable.

She passed away peacefully on Tuesday, 8 December, 2020, on Rozel Ward in the Jersey General Hospital. She is loved and missed by all her family and friends.

1 July, 1932 to 8 December, 2020.

Donations in Cynthia’s memory, may be made to Cancer Research UK – Jersey Committee, Mrs Jo Guillou, L’Attrape Soleil, 2 Cranworth Court, Vallée des Vaux, St Helier, JE2 3GA or British Heart Foundation (Jersey), Mrs Mandi Corley, 14 Brooklyn Court, Ann Street, St Helier, JE2 4SE.

My dearest Mum passed away on Wednesday, 25 November, 2020, in her 89th year, mother-in-law (long suffering) of the lovely Bernie (pendant la guerre!) and a loving, understanding grandmother to Lay and Megan and Camilla and Danny, a cherished great-Grandma to Joseph and Gangee to Elwood and Ruby.

‘If I should go tomorrow, it would never be goodbye,

For I have left my heart with you, so don’t you ever cry.

The love that’s deep within me, shall reach you from the stars,

You’ll feel it from the heavens and it will heal the scars’.

We will all miss you so much Mum.

Your loving daughter Sassy.

Our darling Mum sadly passed away, with her family by her side, on Wednesday, 25 November, 2020, in her 89th year, a loving and beloved wife of the late Denis Ponting. She was also a loving Mum to Stephen, Maureen, Andrew, Aidan, Clare and the late Michael and a caring and supportive step-mother to Michael, Mark and Jeanine. She will be hugely missed by all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and indeed by all of her family and her numerous friends.

A life well lived, through the hardships of the occupation, the joy of having children, a loving and fulfilled relationship with Denis, the excitement of travel, a keen interest in the world and people in general, and a sharp and intelligent mind until the end.

We will always love you Mum and be grateful to you for the happy memories that we share.
