Cynthia Marie Madigan, 53, passed away Friday, June 26, 2020 from an allergic reaction to a bee sting. Growing up in Watervliet, Cindy was the daughter of Ernest Meyer and the late Constance A. Meyer and the beloved wife of the late Patrick H. Madigan. Pat and Cindy married on October 15, 1994 and raised three children in the Schaghticoke area: Tom (Courtney French), Clare, and Henry.
In addition to her children, Cindy is survived by her sister Chris (Ted) Piel of Denver, Colorado; her father Ernie (Nancy) Meyer of Savannah, Georgia; cherished aunts Eleanor Meyer and Carol Meyer; many brothers- and sisters-in-law, niece and nephews; "her boys" and numerous friends.
Cindy was a lover of animals and nature. She was always curious to learn more about the world around her, down to every bug, plant, and mushroom she encountered. Her trips around the country and world with her aunts and Gram were a highlight of her childhood and teenage years, especially the trip to Germany.
Cindy was immensely proud of her children, including the ones she didnt give birth to, opening her heart, home, and fridge. Beautiful inside and out, Cindy was known to be authentic, free-spirited, compassionate, extremely empathetic, and loyal. She was known for her heart of gold and sense of humor. She will be dearly missed by every person whose life she touched. Cindy continues to give to others through organ donation.
