Cynthia Fink, 94, departed this life on May 14, 2026. She was born in Elmira, NY on September 15, 1931, daughter of Hugh and Helen Carson Glennon of Wellsboro, PA.
A graduate of Wellsboro High School, class of 1949, Cynthia earned a teaching degree in English and History from East Stroudsburg State Teacher’s College in 1953. Cynthia married Harold B. Fink, Jr., of Wellsboro, after meeting him when their two cars collided. (To this day, the identification of the responsible party remains a mystery.)
In 1956, Cynthia and Harold “H.B.” moved to Coudersport where he established a law practice and where they raised all of their six children. Cynthia enjoyed playing bridge, golfing, reading, and all the activities of her children and grandchildren. She was also interested in genealogy, which required three trips to Ireland to research her Irish roots. Cynthia was a woman of great faith and prayer. She was a member of St. Eulalia’s Catholic Church, Catholic Daughters of America, and was a member of the Coudersport Golf Club for many years.
Preceded in death by her husband and one son, Brian, she is survived by three daughters, Deb (Eckenroth) of Emporium, Dawn and Robin, and two sons, Bruce (Christine) and Chris (Heidi), all of Coudersport. Eight grandchildren include Lindsey Michaels, Aaron Strauch, Michael and Jesse Fink, Hannah Daigler, Nicole Scott, and Stella and Olivia Fink. She has many great-grandchildren.
Cynthia created a warm and loving atmosphere within the home and did so with grace and ease. When recalling their mom, her children agree that she never complained - and without exception, they never heard her say a bad word about anyone.
Visitation will be at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, May 23, 2026, at St. Eulalia Catholic Church, 6 E. Maple St., Coudersport. A memorial mass will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. with luncheon to follow. If desired, memorials may be made to St. Eulalia Catholic Church or to “Love Never Fails – Haiti”, P.O. Box 365, Emporium, PA 15834 (loveneverfailshaiti.org). The family has entrusted Cynthia’s arrangements to the Thomas E. Fickinger Funeral Home, 210 N. East St., Coudersport.
