Cynthia M. Grillo, born September 10, 1958, to parents Robert Loehner and Dolores Desjardin, passed away on September 24, 2025, at the age of 67.
Cynthia dedicated much of her life to working as a bus driver in transportation. She was a woman of many talents and joys. She loved the color pink, cherished her flowers and gardening, and was a wonderful cook and baker who always made sure her four boys were well-fed. She had a sweet tooth for chocolate and often called on her children to bring her some to enjoy.
Her love for family was at the center of everything she did. Cynthia treasured time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, created lasting memories during holidays, and filled her home with warmth. She enjoyed arts and crafts, and her creativity shone through in many ways. Above all, Cynthia was a loving mother whose devotion and care will be remembered forever.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family and all who knew her.
Cynthia is survived by her four sons; Dan Grillo, James (Jessica) Grillo, Brad Grillo and Tim Grillo; loving grandchildren, Ryan (Marissa) Davis, Jordan Grillo, Charlotte Grillo and Evangeline Grillo; great-grandchildren, Remy Davis and Riot Davis; she is also survived by her brothers Dave Loehner, Steve Loehner, and Mark Loehner.
