Cynthia D. Gilchrist 1952-2020

Ms. Gilchrist was born Sept. 7, 1952, in Philadelphia, Pa., the daughter of James K. and Lydia M. Gilchrist.

She was active with the Workshops at Javits Court.

A member of Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church, Cindy was a true worshipper and identified herself as such. She loved to sing and sang in the choir while in Philadelphia. She was musically inclined and loved to play percussion instruments, especially the tambourine. She was loved by everyone she met and had a strong love for children. Cindy never met a stranger.

A tremendous sister and aunt, Cynthia loved and enjoyed being with her nieces and nephews.

She leaves to forever cherish her loving memory, but to rejoice in her eternal peace, her father, James; three brothers, Deacon Kenneth (Glenda) Gilchrist, Elder Craig (Quen) Gilchrist and Carl Gilchrist, all of Youngstown; a sister, Minister Kimberly A. (Deacon David) Lara of Philadelphia; and a host of family and friends who will miss her dearly.

Greeting her at heaven’s gate was her mother, Lydia.

There will be viewing for Cindy 10 to 10:45 a.m. Friday, May 22, 2020, at the L. E. Black, Phillips & Holden Funeral Home. Due to the pandemic, everyone is asked to please wear a mask.

Private family services will follow at 11 a.m.
