Cynthia M. Carrothers

Cynthia May (White) Carrothers was born in Kenton, Ohio, on May 21, 1936, to Ruth Lucille (Parmer) White and Roland Oscar White.

Cindy attended Kenton Public Schools, graduating from high school in 1954. Her primary extracurricular interests in high school were music and drama. Cindy was very musically talented with a beautiful soprano voice and therefore chose to major in music at Ohio State University, earning BA and MA degrees there.

She enjoyed traveling to many parts of the United States with her parents and sister while growing up, and after university to Europe at least twice. Cindy taught music in public schools in Ohio, New Mexico, and Maryland, and eventually returned to Ohio and taught music in the Toledo public schools. She later gave piano and voice lessons in her own home.

Cindy loved cats, and very much enjoyed the family's pet cats during her childhood, and those who shared her home for much of her adult life.

She married Ted Carrothers of Toledo in 1969.

Cindy was preceded in death by her parents and by her husband, Ted. She is survived by her sister, Rose Anne White; cousins, Connie Morrow, Larry Crist, John Deare, Frank Deare; and nieces and nephews on the Carrothers side of the family, Irene and Ed Jacobs, Steven and Cher Carrothers, and Peggy and Larry Krontz.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to Cathy Dyko, Cindy’s good friend and guardian.
