Cynthia Lynn Adams, "Cindy, or Cynthia to her French friends", 65, of Lancaster, PA, died unexpectedly on January the 20th, 2021. Born in Tangier Morocco-North Africa, she was the daughter of Clarence Leo Adams of Reading PA, and Mary Jane Whitaker-Adams of Long Island New York, and then Lancaster PA. Clarence and Mary were missionaries in North Africa, and Southern France for 36 years, and preceded her in death.

Cindy was devoted to her family, and nothing made her happier than spending time with them.

She was a loving Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Niece. She loved hosting Christmases at her home when she could, and loved giving her family sentimental gifts of French cheese, and anything she could get her hands on that would remind them of their upbringing in France. She thought of others before herself.

She loved music, and one of her favorite pastimes was singing as a family when we were together. Our parents passed that love of music to all their children.

Her pride and joy was her Silky Terrier, Ashley, named after her niece (because that was the only name she responded to when her Husband Bernie brought her home as a surprise). She also loved her cat Minette, whom she inherited from her mom at her passing in 2012.

She spent most of her childhood and school years in Marseille France, before returning to the United States to finish her 12th grade in Johnstown PA where she spent the year with her grandparents Robert and Ruby Smith, of Reading PA. She then graduated from the Philadelphia College of The Bible, now Cairn University.

Cindy may have left France, but her heart never did. She had hundreds of friends she left behind, and returned there as often as she could in earlier years. She longed for the day she could go back.

Her most recent goal was to return to see her friends and share her love of Jesus with them. She'd often say to her sister that she wanted all of them to spend eternity in Heaven with her. She wanted that more than anything.

She renewed her passport a few months ago with that in mind, but God had other plans for her.

She is survived by her siblings, Craig Adams (Christine),Clark Adams (Sarah), Cameron Adams all of Lancaster PA, and a sister Carol Hilliker-Wright (Bob) of Elkhart IN., as well as numerous nieces and nephews, Aunts and Uncles, and cousins.

A memorial service will be held in the next few months at the convenience of the family for which an announcement will be made.
