It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Cynthia Wilhelmina Kamaladevi Samuel (nee Sunderampillai)–age 82–on Thursday, February 27, 2025, at the Peterborough Regional Healthcare Center.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have been graced with her quiet loving nature. Her incredible strength, selfless love, and unwavering faith were the foundation of our family. She will be remembered for how she lived and the profound impact she had on all those who knew her.
