February 6, 1958 – April 1, 2023
Cindy Ann (Tellier) Goodwin – 65, of Stoneham and formerly of Andover, passed away on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.
Born in Lawrence, MA on February 6, 1958. She was the daughter of Ellen (Dollar) Tellier and the late Alan Tellier. She was a graduate of Andover High School.
Cindy was a Food Service Manager and she retired from the Reading School System after many years, where she enjoyed working beside her husband.
Cindy was a painter and particularly talented with watercolors. She loved her grandchildren and played endlessly with Luke and his fruit. She and her sister Cathy had just begun to enjoy spending more time together with their hobbies including bingo and trips to Foxwoods. Her favorite place was the beach house where she spent 2 weeks every year with her family and friends. She and John spent many evenings together on the dock. She took pleasure in being the family zookeeper, in particular babysitting Bruin, Rory and Draco. Babysitting always included some sort of pet costume. Cindy would show up at her sons, John and David’s games even when they were adults. Always their biggest fan! She opened her home and heart to any family member in need. Too many to note, but she will be remembered by all for her kindness, generosity, and free spirit.
Beside her mother Ellen Tellier, family members include her loving husband of 37 years, John C. Goodwin; her sons, John Goodwin and his wife Jean, and David Goodwin and Lisa; her brothers, Tom Tellier and the late Michael and James Tellier; her sister, Cathy Day; grandchildren, Luke and Zack Goodwin and nieces, Christine, Pam, Kim and Liz Day.
Visitation will be held at the Croswell Funeral Home, 19 Bow Street, North Reading, on Wednesday, April 12 from 9:00 to 11:00 AM, followed by a prayer service at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Cindy’s name to P.A.W.S., 411 Lowell Street, Wakefield, MA 01880 (tel. number, 508-800-7297)
