NORTH READING — Cynthia Mary Hunt, 64, a lifelong resident of North Reading, died unexpectedly in her home on Tuesday, October 29, 2019.
Born in Woburn on December 8, 1954, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Kathleen (Browne) Hunt of North Reading. Cindy was a member of Saint Theresa’s Church and a graduate of North Reading High School, Class of 1972.
Cindy worked in the investment industry for many years; she worked with Tucker, Anthony & Company in Boston for 25 years and for the last 17 years with Moors & Cabot Inc. as an Operations Associate in their Boston office.
Cindy loved singing karaoke, where she regularly performed with many of her friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Kathleen Hunt and her brother Robert Hunt. She is survived by one brother, Stephen Hunt of Methuen.
Although she lost most of her family far too soon, Cindy had many friends to whom she was essentially family. Cindy was considered a member of the extended Perella family, with whom she celebrated all major holidays. She was an honorary aunt to Kurt Jones, Eric Jones, and Jenelle Jones Braga and great-aunt to Preston and Kaily Braga, whom she loved to tease and spoil. Preston and Kailey’s favorite pastime with “Auntie Cindy”, aka “Auntie Pumpkinhead,” was her annual Christmas Eve sleepover to open presents with them on Christmas morning. She was a sister to Pam (Perella) Lewis for 55 years, since the Perella’s moved to North Reading. Honorary family also included Janice Curran, with whom she loved playing cribbage, and her special friend David Frasier.
Calling hours will be held at Croswell Funeral Home, 19 Bow Street, North Reading on Tuesday, November 12 from 4 to 6:30 p.m., followed by a memorial service, celebrating her life, from 6:30 to 7 p.m. A private graveside service will be held in Riverside Cemetery in North Reading.
