On many occasions she would sit on the side of the wrestling mat and coach her sons. They were both championship wrestlers. Cynthia’s hobbies included traveling to the beach, playing the slot machines and bingo. However, her true love was bowling. Cynthia bowled in the league for over 30 years and won numerous awards.
