Cynthia M. Fiddes

December 4, 1945 — August 16, 2023

Cynthia (Cindy) McKee Fiddes, 77, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 16 surrounded by her loving family.

Born December 4, 1945, in Williamsport, PA, Cindy developed resilience and strength of character as a result of frequent moves throughout her childhood. After graduating from Syracuse University in 1967, Cindy moved to Chicago and married Richard Fiddes in 1969.

A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Cindy encouraged her loved ones with laughter, common sense, and humility. She often put her sewing skills to use to make dresses and costumes, and she was always ready to jump in the pool, ski down a hill, ride the flying swings at Kings Island, or share Graeter's black raspberry chip ice cream with her grandchildren. She enjoyed spending time outdoors hiking, observing wildlife, and playing pickleball. Cindy's warmth, kindness, and integrity made her a trusted friend to many.

Cindy was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Eugene McKee and Norma Linton McKee.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 54 years, Richard Fiddes; her children, Amy (Adam) D'Urso and Mark (Caroline) Fiddes; her grandchildren, Eric, Sara, Carter, Jack, and Brooke; and a vast number of treasured friends.

A memorial will be held in October 2023 in Cincinnati.
