Passed away peacefully in Grand Bend, Ontario, on Friday June 5th, 2026, Born in Oakville, Ontario on September 2, 1952, she was in her 74th year at the time of her passing.
A beloved mother, sister, nana, aunt, cousin, and friend, Cindy was always a shining light to those around her, with a smile that would light up a room, and an infectious laugh that was beautiful to all who heard it. Often referred to as a “second mom” by her daughter’s friends, Cindy’s door was always open, with enough love to spread to others.
Cindy will be dearly missed by her two daughters Heather Cornwall (Sean Furfaro), and Megan Cornwall (Eric Raymond), her sister Connie Gaskell, her grandchildren Taylor Cornwall-Moore, Declan Meger, and Lucas Furfaro, her brothers-in-law Shawn Cornwall and Trev Chamberlain, and her many nieces and nephews, Jayme, Jeff, Jennifer, Jill, Dallas, Travis, Cory and Curtis. She will also be missed by numerous close friends and other family members. Pre-deceased by her parents, Fred and Dianne Orr, her sister, Kathie Chamberlain, her son Scott Cornwall, and her brothers-in-law Ian Cornwall, Cameron Cornwall, Tim Gaskell, and Bob Crocker.
A lifelong lover of animals, Cindy will be longingly remembered and missed by her dog, Paisley, and her cat, Missy.
A special thank you to her Doctors, Nurses, and Personal Support Workers for their care and compassion over the last few weeks.
At her request, cremation has occurred. In the place of a visitation process and funeral, the family will be holding a Celebration of Life fitting for the woman who touched so many of us. A celebration of Cindy’s life will be held at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 530, 316 Marsland Drive, WATERLOO on Sunday, June 28th from 1 – 4 PM.

Cindy was one of the kindest women I ever knew. She was my big sister’s BFF and whenever I saw her I would call her my sister from another mother. She was a very caring and loving woman and was always smiling and laughing. She will be missed dearly. Condolences to her two girls and the rest of her family.
Friends with Cindy for well over 30 years, not having that anymore will leave a big hole in my heart. Aways putting everyone’s needs above her own. Always a sharing, caring, smiling, generous, loving human, a rare gem!! I will treasure my memories. Rest in peace my friend! I will miss you.
Heather, Sean, Declan and Lucas.
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Heather and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Although I didn’t know your mom personally, I know she was a wonderful women’s deeply loved by those who did. She exuded a light and love in her beautiful smile and the twinkle in her eye.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I will miss you Cindy. Strange how we never worked together, we never lived in the same city, yet we became such good friends. I will miss our long breakfasts at the restaurant May long weekend and Thanksgiving weekend. I will forever remember your wonderful smile.

I ‘ve worked with Cindy since 2022 – She always had the most gentle, kindest voice. She was always one of the first ones to get conversations started and always smiling. We will surely miss her!
To Cindy’s family and loved ones,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Cindy’s passing. I had the privilege of working alongside Cindy for many years and came to know her as someone who was truly kind, dedicated, and caring. She built meaningful relationships with so many people and always brought warmth and compassion to those around her.
Cindy was more than a colleague; she was a friend to many, and her presence will be deeply missed. I feel fortunate to have known and worked with her, and I will remember her fondly.

My deepest sympathies to your family and loved ones. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Cindy was a very kind person; she was always willing to help anyone, always there when I was in need of any help. You will be missed,
May you rest in peace
When I first got hired it was Cindy who trained me. We sat in the same pod at work and share many laughs. Her passing will leave a great impact in all who knew her as she has left a lasting impression in my life.
My most sincere condolences to the friends and Family of Cindy.
We worked very closely together for years, when I started working on an account she was very familiar with, and I was not. She helped me through the ins and outs of this account, and she was there always for me in the good times, and the no so good times.
A breath of fresh air, she was to work with, and absolutely one of a kind. She was genuine and honest, and without a doubt, from my 40 years experience in the industry, one of the nicest and best people I ever worked with. Blessed to have been a friend to her, and we continued our friendship chatting occasionally through social media.
We love you Cindy, GOD bless you. We will greatly miss you.

Rest in peace, Cindy – you will be missed

Cindy made one summer visit to our place in Winnipeg. She and my sister Randi Made that journey by themselves. At the same time as the first men walked on the moon. I remember being so very happy having my sister and cousin Cindy together and everything was special. Not just the moon landing but the way those two made each experience a shared event. They really enjoyed spending time with us and we will always be together in our memories of that time when men walked on the moon. Cindy I hope you are traveling on summer breezes and moon beams. Love Chris

I knew Cindy for many years. Moved away but usually got together when I came home. She was the nicest person and she will be missed.
