Obituary for Cynthia Helen MacCharles
CYNTHIA HELEN MACCHARLES
(nee SINCLAIR)
Cynthia Helen MacCharles passed away peacefully at Riverview Health Centre on Wednesday, December 18, 2013. She will be sadly missed by her two sons Keith and Quentin (Elisabeth) and her three loving grandchildren Riley, Lindsay and Julia, her sister Jane Hottinger (Bill) and family of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, sister-in-law Fran Jukes and family of Calgary, and loving companion William E. Gray. Cynthia was predeceased by her husband of 45 years, Kenneth L. MacCharles in 2005 and parents Helen and Dr. Alex Sinclair.
Cynthia was born April 24, 1936 and lived in her family home on Kingston Row for 74 years. ?210? was a special place with years of memories that she loved to share with her children and grandchildren, including the flood of 1950. Cynthia attended Windsor Elementary and then Kelvin High School. She spent many early mornings skating at the Winter Club throughout her childhood and continued to teach while attending university. She worked for the Canadian Red Cross in the years prior to her marriage to Ken and spent many years as a member of the Junior League volunteering her time with many of her lifelong friends. Cynthia also worked together for many years with Ken in the family manufacturing business, Airmaster Sales Ltd.
Perhaps Cynthia?s greatest passion was her keen interest in sports and her involvement in curling and golf. Cynthia was a member of the Provincial Senior Curling Team and was named the All Star Lead at the Canadian Senior Nationals. Cynthia was a long time member at St. Charles County Club serving as Ladies Club President in 1987 and a founding player with the Eagles Ladies Golf League. Ken and Cynthia shared a love of golf and enjoyed many golf vacations all over the world. She passed on her love of sports to her grandchildren and was always their biggest fan.
The family would like to thank everyone at CancerCare Manitoba and The Riverview Health Centre for the excellent care she received over the past 18 months. A memorial service will be celebrated at St. Charles Country Club, 100 Country Club Blvd., Winnipeg, MB, on Friday, December 27, 2013 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (Prairies / NWT) (www.cbcf.org/prairies/) or the Manitoba Golf Scholarship Fund, 420-145 Pacific Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3B 2Z6.
