CYNTHEA A. HEYSLER

Sherrill-Cynthea A. (Barnes) Heysler was born November 12, 1936, and passed away peacefully on March 10, 2021, surrounded by the family she loved. Cindy was born to Dorothea and Nathan Barnes on Primo Avenue, a street she lived on for nearly all of her 84 years. She was a lifelong resident of Sherrill and a graduate of VVS. She met Richard T. Heysler of Oneida in 1956. They married the following year, and they built a beautiful life and nurtured a loving family together for the next 63 years.

Cindy was predeceased by her brother, Robert Barnes, and sister-in-law, Bea. She is survived by her husband, Dick, and children Scott (Tina) of Wellington, Fla.; Rick (Becky) of Sherrill; Todd (Joan) of Intervale, N.H.; Tim of Orlando, Fla.; and Melissa (Michael) Wittman, also of Sherrill.

She was a loving “G-ma” to Nate (Misa), Charlie (Brittany), and Brittany (Pete); “Nanny” to Megan and Ben; “Grandma” to Lauren (Mat), Lindsay (Mike), and Leah; “Grammy” to Nick and Jack; and “Great-grandma” to Kylie. She’s also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins, and her best friend, Mary Potter.

Cindy was proud to be from Sherrill, a city that she loved so much. Her favorite day of the year was the annual Fireworks show, and her celebration of life will be on the day of this year’s event. In lieu of owers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to the City of Sherrill’s Fireworks fund in her memory so that, this year, her family and the entire community can enjoy something that she loved so much: being together.
