Cynthia Mary Hunt -64, a lifelong resident of North Reading, died unexpectedly in her home on Tuesday, October 29, 2019.
Born in Woburn, MA on December 8, 1954, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Kathleen (Browne) Hunt of North Reading. Cindy was a member of Saint Theresa’s Church and a graduate of North Reading High School, Class of 1972.
Cindy worked in the investment industry for many years, she worked with Tucker, Anthony & Company in Boston for 25 years and for the last 17 years with Moors & Cabot Inc. as an Operations Associate in their Boston office.
Cindy loved singing karaoke, where she regularly performed with many of her friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Kathleen Hunt and her brother Robert Hunt. She is survived by one brother, Stephen Hunt of Methuen.
Although she lost most of her family far too soon, Cindy had many friends to whom she was essentially family. Cindy was considered a member of the extended Perella family, with whom she celebrated all major holidays. She was an honorary aunt to Kurt Jones, Eric Jones, and Jenelle Jones Braga and great aunt to Preston and Kaily Braga, whom she loved to tease and spoil. Preston & Kailey’s favorite pastime with “Auntie Cindy”, aka “Auntie Pumpkinhead”, was her annual Christmas Eve sleepover to open presents with them on Christmas morning. She was a sister to Pam (Perella) Lewis for 55 years, since the Perella’s moved to North Reading. Honorary family also included Janice Curran, with whom she loved playing cribbage, and her special friend David Frasier.

So sorry for your loss of Cynthia.
So sorry for your loss!
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
The Hunts lived across the street from us in NR. We grew up together and shared many memories. So very saddened to read of Cindy’s passing. Hard to believe.
Her beautiful smile and sweet voice will be missed by so many… God bless you and welcome you, Cindy ♥️ You will sing with the angels.
Such sad news. Condolences to all who loves her.
I am so very sorry to read this. Cindy and I spent some time together back in NRHS days. Cindy was so fun loving, happy and kind. Godspeed Cindy, and thank you for your friendship so long ago. I’ll remember you always.
So sad to read that Cindy passed. I can’t believe it so young. We played together as children and were neighbors for 25 years. We played house and school and monopoly and had neighborhood plays. I am so saddened by this news and can still hear her amazing laugh and see her incredible smile. Condolences Steve and Pam and friends may she Rest In Peace Gina Costanza Sanfilippo

I am deeply saddened with the loss of Cindy. Our family was very close to the Hunt’s growing up in the 60’s. I am sure she is once again wrapped in the arms of her parents and brother Bobby. So sorry Steve. Hang in there
Cindy and have been part of the same “karaoke gang” since the early 1990s, traveling from one venue to another after one closes down. I am very fortunate to be able to call Cindy a friend, and she has been a great one to all of us. I am very shocked and saddened by her loss, as I know all those fortunate enough to know her must be. My favorite memories of Cindy are her giving in and singing “Don’t Rain On My Parade” when I pleaded with her to, and Cindy and Frasier’s duets on “The Phantom.” My condolences to the rest of Cindy’s friends and family, we lost a great person.
So sorry for your loss. I was one of Cindy’s karaoke friends, she will be greatly missed. I’m honored to have known her. My prayers go with you. Love, Doreen M. Knight.
i loved hearing cindy sing and i am glad i was able to be her friend at karaoke… rest in peace cindy,, you will be missed
I’ve known Cindy and worked with her for over 40 years.
Cindy was always willing to pitch in and help whenever needed. Her experience with new accounts and providing assistance to the branches was invaluable to the firm. She was dependable, conscientious and always in the office by 7:30 am.
From the days of after work gatherings at the Fatted Calf and the Scotch & Sirloin we had a lot of fun times. I share many happy memories of Cindy.
Unfortunately, recent circumstances prevent me from attending her memorial service.
My sympathies to her extended family of friends. She will be missed.
I’ve known Cindy for many years as she was a co-worker to my sister Deb. She was a thoughtful, kind person and the mitten-master of Massachusetts. I still have a beautiful pair of mittens she made for me many years ago. Rest in peace Cindy.
Cindy. My singing partner and wonderful and special friend I remember clearly the night I met her in 2004 at Daniela’s Restaurant in North Reading. She had a great controlled voice, one that’s inherited not trained. She was gifted not only in her singing but knew how to be the best friend ever to all who knew her. I already miss her very much. My deepest sympathy goes out to her extended family and friends. With Love and Deep Sympathy…Frasier
Cindy, I will remember your smile, and your beautiful laugh; and I will hold you in my heart. You’ll be with Mom, Dad, and Bobby now, and our parents will probably be playing bridge. Wishing you love and peace.
Cindy, I will miss our talks every morning at work. I loved hearing about your crazy singing weekends. Rest in peace my friend. Sorry I could not make the funeral. You will be greatly missed. Carolann
My deepest and sincere condolences to the family and friends of Cindy. What a wonderful person she was. You will be missed Cindy
So saddened to hear of Cindy’s passing. I knew her from high school and remember her as kind and always smiling. My condolences to her network of friends. God’s speed and R.I.P.
