This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Cynthia Meade who was born on May 21, 1951 and passed away on December 3, 2010 after losing a hard fought battle to leukemia. We will remember her forever.
Tributes
Leave a tributeI first met Cyndee when she was a devoted and supportive TJ parent. We then became Director of Student Services colleagues. I respect the quality of her leadership at Langley, always giving parents personal recommendations for tutors and therapists. Her evening parent programs on college advising were widely lauded in the community.

The effects of your kindness are still felt around us. You were always a model of compassion.
This weekend, in your honor, I will start reading the book you gave me during our last conversation. You were right: life is full of choices.
Lifetime Teacher: circa 1965
Seldom are people predestined to a profession; but, Cyndee was an educator, plain and simple!
Our favorite past time was to "play school".
Oh, the scribble pads we filled!
She inspired me to learn.
Sure, Mom and Dad read to me, but Cyndee taught me grade levels ahead, in a way I understood.
I am not the least bit surprised at her success at Duquesne University and beyond.
I envy your passion and contribution to so many.
Love to the Patricks and Meades,
Ed
From 1958 thru the early 1970's, you were so much more than a cousin; you were my other sister and I had bragging rights to having two moms and two dads.
I fondly remember Friday evenings at Frick Park, crowds of kids assembling nightly on the "U" for a round of Red Rover or Hide & Seek, hikes to Turner's Dairy for penny candy, collecting buckeyes in Schenley Park, and of course, my futile attempts to keep pace with you at violin practice.
During that time frame, I guess that there was never a Christmas dinner that we didn't share. So, hanging the commemorative White House ornament that you sent us years ago held a very special, loving, prayerful rite on Sunday.
God Bless you, Cyndee and your inspiration during my formative years. - "Eddie"
