Cynthia Coffey Powell

Cynthia Coffey Powell passed away on October 19, 2022 at her home in Waterville Valley, NH surrounded by family. While her prolonged battle with cancer has cut her life short, her choice to commit herself to helping others overwhelmed, and continues to inspire, those who knew her. Cindy's experiences as a therapeutic horseback riding instructor, service animal advocate, and adaptive snow-sports executive director are testaments to her selflessness. Her husband Bill, children Charlie, Will, Casey, and Elizabeth, their partners Katherine, Erin, Colin, and William, and granddaughters Caroline and Logan are the benefactors of her compassion, enjoyment of the outdoors, and boundless love.

Her favorite things were hiking the White Mountains, pastel painting, her companionship of animals - both large and small, and laughing with her joyful family.

We invite family and friends to share their love with a Celebration of Cindy on Sunday October 30 on Snows Mountain at 11am. A reception will follow at the Freestyle Lounge at the Waterville Valley Resort at 1pm. You can find a full schedule, dress code and accommodation details below.
