Cynthia McQueen

Cynthia "Cindy" McQueen gained her heavenly wings on December 22, 2024 at the age of 74. She was born in Van Wert, Ohio, where she spent her childhood surrounded by many cousins, family, and friends to whom she brought endless joy.

Cynthia was preceded in death by her loving parents, Catherine and Lawrence Roth, her brother, Larry Roth, and her devoted husband, Fred McQueen. Cynthia's life was a testament to her unwavering dedication and love for Fred, and she longed to be reunited with him. Together again, she joins him and walks with him blessed to never part.

Known for her playful spirit, Cynthia was a true prankster with a great sense of humor. Her laughter was infectious, and she had a way of brightening every room she entered. She will be remembered for her kind heart, her devotion to her friends and family, and her ability to see the humor in life's moments. Cynthia found joy in making others smile, leaving a legacy of warmth and cheer.

Cynthia cherished her time at Grace Point Church of the Nazarene, where she celebrated her faith and sang in the choir. Her blessed voice now sings with Him, filling the heavens with music. 

Cynthia also asked her family to honor her and Fred's legacy by keeping family traditions alive, especially through reunions and holiday celebrations-moments that were always dear to her. 

She leaves behind her cherished sister, Diane (Richard) Perry, and her beloved brother, Jerry Roth. Her boundless love lives on through her daughters, Renee (Doug) Outcalt-Leonard and Cathy (Matt) Nahrwold, her son; Branden; and her treasured grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Nicholas (Rachel), Nathaniel(Taylor), Ryleigh, Avery, Sebastian, Shelby, Paisyn, Beckham, Michael, and Easton. She also embraced with love Katie (Jay) Davel, along with Jakob, Raegan, Graciana, Aubrey, Delaney, Cecilia, and Cameron.
