Obituary of CYNTHIA STEIN

Cynthia Fay Stein February 5, 1941 – May 22, 2019 El Cajon

After a long battle with breast cancer, Cynthia Stein, 78, passed away on
May 22, 2019 in the home she loved, surrounded by her children. It might
be the only fight she ever lost. Cynthia was preceded in death by her
parents, Irving (Dick) Stein and Mildred Harris. She is survived by her
children, Jennifer Sucov and Adam Sucov, grandchildren Julia and Aaron,
sister Natalie, brother Michael, extended family, and friends.

Cynthia was born in Elizabeth, NJ, attended Lakewood High School in New
Jersey and graduated from Miami High School in Florida.

Her marriage to Joel Sucov of Brooklyn in 1966 brought her to San Diego
(divorced 1978). She was a devoted mother, active in the Jewish
community, and the Jewish women’s nonprofit ORT where she served as
President, forming friendships that would last throughout her life.

Professionally, Cynthia was a master of reinvention and resourcefulness. A
few career highlights: UCSD Tay-Sachs prevention program coordinator,
Director of Investments and Operations for a local real estate developer,
sole proprietor of Wholesale Interiors, and owner of Galleria Antiques in La
Mesa, CA.

Spirited, smart, independent, beautiful and generous beyond the pale,
Cynthia was like no other. And in the style of her hero, Ol’ Blue Eyes, she
always did it her way.

A service will be held June 2 at Goldstein Funeral Chapel in Edison, NJ. In
lieu of flowers, please donate to the UCSD Moores Cancer Center Breast
Program.
