CYNTHIA PATTERSON
She leaves to mourn her two sons, Ryan and Daniel; sister Valleryn (Loree) Ritchot; brothers, Jack (Valerie) Musgrove and Sandy (Kim) Musgrove and numerous family members and friends.
Cynthia was predeceased by her parents, Helen and Jack Musgrove and her husband John.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Cindy attended Silver Heights Collegiate and began working for Naturalizer following graduation. She spent several years in her early adulthood as a manager at Naturalizer, during which time she met her husband John. They married on John's birthday in 1995 and soon after had their two sons, Ryan and Daniel. Cynthia always had strong family values and left her job to take care of her two boys in their early childhood years. She later obtained additional education to become a Health Care Aide and worked in Home Care for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Cynthia held a strong passion for her job and cared deeply for her clients. Her kind and warm-hearted nature was appreciated by all of the clients and families she served.
Cindy loved travelling with her family to her favourite travel destination, Banff and the Canadian Rockies. She enjoyed spending time outdoors and viewing the beautiful sights; it was her happy place. Cindy also had many pets throughout her lifetime, as animals brought her joy. Above all else, she cared most about her boys and her husband. She made countless sacrifices for her family. Thank you for everything you did for us. We were so lucky to have you in our lives.
Cynthia's family would like to extend their gratitude to her determined and compassionate medical care team, who helped with her difficult journey with cancer over the past three years. A special thanks to Dr. Marshall Pitz, Sonu, Dr. Kurt Skakum and Dr. Jason Beiko at CancerCare Manitoba and the wonderful Palliative Care staff at Riverview Health Centre.
Cynthia's life will be celebrated for her selfless and warm-hearted presence, her deep-rooted Catholic faith, and the sincere love she had for her family.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, a private service will be held to celebrate Cynthia's life at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, with interment to follow at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home and Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Cynthia to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.

Cindy came into our home as an HCA to help care for our son. She had such a lovely way of interacting and our son would light up when he heard her voice. We are so very sorry for your loss. She lit up the world for those to whom she came in contact. Deepest sympathy. - Posted by: Audrey (client) on: Jun 26, 2020

I had the good luck to work with Cindy at Naturalizer and she was the best Boss EVER! We managed to have a lot of fun while working. Cindy and I were the ones who started the Halloween at the Mall in St. Vital. We were clowns... I remember so well when she started dating John. She loved him so much.. I had the honor of giving a speech at their wedding. Ryan and Daniel were very lucky to have such wonderful, caring parents and I'm sure they will miss them both very much. I know she is in Heaven with John now looking down at them. I am so sorry for your loss. Margaret - Posted by: Margaret Rasmussen (co-worker) on: Jun 22, 2020

I met Cindy over 30 years ago when we worked at Naturalizer together. Cindy was caring, generous and fun loving and we had a lot of good times. I met my husband through Cindy and John and we were inseparable- my 2 girls and Ryan and Daniel spent a lot of time together when they were young. I am so sorry for your loss, Cindy made the world a brighter place and will not be forgotten. - Posted by: Denise Pinette (Friend) on: Jun 21, 2020

I am so sorry for your loss Ryan and Daniel. The world has lost a beautiful soul. Cynthia was one of the most compassionate, caring HCA’s I have ever supervised. Her smile would light up the room. When Cynthia spoke of her boys and John she just gleamed with pride. She was always so positive no matter what was thrown at her. Deepest condolences. - Posted by: Glenda (Former coworker ) on: Jun 20, 2020
