Cynthia Jane Bidwell

Cynthia Jane Bidwell died January 28, 2022 at home in the presence of her children, which is exactly what she wanted. Following a cancer diagnosis, her last few months of life reflected her deepest values, focused on family, and imbued with a radiant spirit of almost childlike curiosity and delight. Instead of battling cancer, Cindy mindfully chose to live life, inspiring everyone around her in the process. She embarked on an “epic road trip” with her daughters and daughter-inlaw, seeing where each of her kids lived, reconnecting with friends, exploring new places, embracing new experiences, and making new friends along the way. She enjoyed the serendipity and adventure of each new day, and spent Christmas on the beach with her feet in the surf.
