Cynthia Ann Parker (Lodin) passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 25th, 2023. Born on July 31, 1948 in Minneapolis to the late Muriel and Henry Parker. Cynthia grew up in numerous cities around the world as her Father and Mother were active in the Navy. Cynthia settled in Richfield, MN where she met Terrence Lodin. Cynthia and Terry were married and together they shared 7 children.

Cynthia loved traveling and exploring new places as well as knitting/crocheting, sewing, home decorating and a good cup of coffee. Cynthia’s favorite pastime was being with her children and grandchildren, who she loved fiercely. Cynthia was a free spirit with a eclectic sense of style and fashion, and had a loving generous heart. Her smile was absolutely contagious!
