Cynthia "Cindy" Jean Hnotkow

Cynthia “Cindy” Jean Hnotkow, 56, of Salem, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, leaving behind cherished memories in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Born on August 28, 1969, in Sussex, NY, she was the beloved daughter of Muriel Eleanor VanBuren Hnotkow of Salem and the late Walter John Hnotkow.

A true nurturing soul, Cindy loved caring for children and spent countless hours babysitting many little ones, treating each as if they were her own. She adored crafting, cooking, and going to concerts, always embracing life with laughter and joy. Her vibrant personality made her the life of every gathering, and her kindness and love left a lasting mark on everyone she met.
