Cynthia J. “Cindy” Stackpole, age 47, of Lowell, formerly of Winchester, died on January 3, 2021. She was the beloved daughter of the late Philip J. and Alice V. (Conlin) Stackpole.
Born, raised and educated in Winchester, Cindy was a graduate of Winchester High School. She attended Northeastern University and spent the majority of her career in bar and restaurant management primarily with the Papa Razzi group. More recently she found enjoyment in home rehabilitation, primarily associated with old factory buildings in the Merrimack Valley area. She was known for her fun, friendly, generous personality and her ready laugh. Cindy’s true passion was animal welfare in particular taking care of abandoned animals. She adopted and nurtured a plethora of dogs over her lifetime. Much of her free time encompassed support for various “no-kill” pet adoption agencies/shelters whose missions were saving adoptable animals.
The youngest of six kids, Cindy is lovingly survived by her siblings: Philip C. Stackpole and his wife Laura of Winchester, Susan M. Stackpole-Marlin and her husband Glenn of Beverly, Peter R. Stackpole and his wife Beth of West Newbury, Jeffrey D. Stackpole and his wife Kathy of Chelmsford, and Alison V. Stackpole of Plum Island. She also leaves behind her nieces and nephews: Kyle, Sara, Sean, Amanda, Ella and Jackson and lifelong friend, Chris Guide.
