Cynthia L. Stokes died in her home July 1, 2016, surrounded by her loving children.

Cynthia often said that she believed she had been given two purposes in life: to be a mother and a teacher. She was exceptional at both. She raised strong and caring children and leaves behind a legacy as a life-changing teacher to the many students to whom she taught the love of music during her life. She is remembered by all for her compassion, kindness and willingness to put the needs of others before her own.

Cynthia was an incredibly strong woman who fought to remain with her family for as long as possible. Through all of the challenges she faced, she always kept her sense of humor and kind nature.

Cynthia is survived by: her three loving children, Christopher Stokes, Melanie Stokes Thelen, Spenser Stokes; her son-in-law, David Thelen; and her beloved dog, Linus.

She is joined in death by her husband, Dr. Douglas Stokes.

A Celebration of Life service, open to all, is planned from 5-8 p.m. on Saturday, August 13, 2016, in Heartland Hall of College View Church, 4801 Prescott Ave., Lincoln, NE 68506. Email CynthiaStokesMemorial@gmail. com for more information. As published in the St. Joseph News-Press.
