Cynthia (Radonich) Walters
October 19, 1949 – June 6, 2013
Cynthia (Radonich) Walters went home to her loving merciful God, her daughters at her side on June 6th, 2013. She was 63 years old. Born October 19th, 1949, Cindy was the daughter of Marge and Dick Radonich, lifelong residents of Longbranch, WA.
Cindy was a 1967 graduate of Peninsula High and went on to Western Washington University where she graduated, earning her teaching certificate. Her mother Marge remembers her coming home from 1st grade announcing she’d be a teacher and she went on from college to do just that. An English, Drama and Debate teacher at both Bainbridge and Port Angeles high schools, Cindy inspired students to be their best and always found a way to make everyone feel special and included.
Cindy played the piano and sang since she was a small child, bringing joy to many with her beautiful singing voice. In her family, no celebration was complete without Cindy singing a special song to honor the occasion. Cindy loved to laugh with others, was a voracious reader, a friend to many, and loved knowing every detail when one told her a story. A true seeker, she loved going to church and studying spiritual literature. Many would say that her daughters were the joy of her life, but in recent years, she also took special pride in becoming “Grammy” to her grandchildren. Having moved to Wenatchee ten years ago, she loved too the community of friends she’d made. The family would like to thank all Cindy’s friends and caregivers for their unconditional love and support for Cindy.
Cindy is preceded in death by her father Richard L. Radonich and sister, Robin L. Radonich. She is survived by her mother Marge Radonich; daughters Heidi Jackson and Molly McAllister; sister Becky Olsen; grandchildren Harper, Vianne, August and Beckett; and niece Gretchen Olsen.
A memorial celebration will be held June 29th at 3 p.m. at Longbranch Community Church, 16518 46th Street KPS, Longbranch, WA.
“All light, all love.”
