Cyndee L. Playforth 1953-2021
NEW MIDDLETOWN — Cyndee Lynn Playforth, 67, passed away peacefully Friday, May 7, 2021, with her daughters and sisters by her side.
Cyndee was born June 4, 1953, in Youngstown, a daughter of Ralph and Emily Masluk Mansfield Jr. She was a 1971 graduate of Boardman High School and attended Youngstown State University. Her working career started at the Boardman Police Department, where she was a dispatcher, and finished as a merchandiser for Procter and Gamble.
Cyndee enjoyed flower gardening, going on vacation and being at the beach, washing windows and watching her grandchildren’s (who called her Bubbles) sporting events and playing cards with them — she loved them the most.
She was a member of St. Charles Church, Boardman Marching Band Alumni, Boardman Hall of Fame, Canfield Junior Women’s League and the Junior League of Youngstown. Cyndee was proud to be a member of Boardman’s first girls basketball team.
She leaves to cherish her memory, her daughters, Julie (Garee) McCully of Louisville and Carrie Ratliff of Canfield; sisters, Vicky (Joseph) Italiano, Micki (John) Ryan and Lynn (Joseph) Nenadich, and brother, Ron (Erika) Mansfield, all of Boardman; grandchildren Taylor, McCully, Paityn McCully, Grayson McCully, and Cole Ratliff and Landon Ratliff; several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and -nephews; and a longtime high school friend, Cheryl Meeker Dyer.
Along with her parents, Cyndee was preceded in death by a brother, Ralph “Ted” Mansfield III.
A Memorial Mass will be held 1 p.m. Thursday, May 13, 2021, at St. Charles Church, celebrated by the Rev. Philip Rogers.
Due to our current health crisis, COVID-19, everyone in attendance is asked to wear a face mask and to maintain all social-distancing guidelines mandated by the State (6 feet apart and not to linger). Thank you.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Edward J. Fox & Sons Funeral Home, 4700 Market St., Boardman.
