On April 16, 2021, while holding her daughter’s hand and saying, “tell everyone I love them”, her last words spoken, Cynthia Edkin passed away unexpectedly at UPMC in Williamsport, following a courageous battle with COVID-19.
Born in Blossburg on Nov. 9,1955 to the late Kenneth and Gladys (Leonard) Knecht, Cindy grew up and lived in Roaring Branch surrounded by her family and numerous friends. She was a graduate of Canton High School and was employed by the Wheel Inn and Midway Truck Stop. Cindy married John Edkin and during their 48 years of marriage, they were blessed with their daughter, Joanna (Larry Confer); grandsons, Jacob and Travis (Cassidy Bellows) Butcher, granddaughter, Allyson Butcher and great-granddaughter, Sophia Eaton Butcher. Whether you needed Mom, Nan, Aunt Cinny, or Cin, you could always count on finding a faith-filled loving woman of God who would “go to the ends of the earth” to help you with whatever you may need or want.
