Lake Havasu City, Arizona -
Cynthia Florence Di Battista, age 71, passed away peacefully at home on
December 5, 2021, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. She passed from a long
battle she fought with brain and spine cancer. She was born November 5,
1950, in Bethel, Maine, to Rodney and Muriel Brooks.
Cynthia and Fernando were married in Alameda, California, in 1974. They
were in the restaurant business together for many years, before moving
to the wine country in St. Helena, California, where they lived for 10
years. They lived in Colorado briefly, before finally settling down in
Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
Cynthia started a new position at Lake Havasu Unified School District #1
as an administrative assistant back in 2003, and retired from the school
district on July 1, 2017. Cynthia was a great artist, and she loved to
pencil sketch, make arts and crafts projects, and read in her spare
time. She loved her husband and son very much, and she will be missed by
all of her family and friends. She was a great conversationalist and a
great listener. She was full of life and laughter, and could keep you
engaged for several hours telling stories.
Fernando will be moving to Texas to live with his son, Cesare, daughter
in-law, Amber, and his two grandsons, Antonio and Matteo.
Cynthia is survived by her husband, Fernando A. Di Battista, her son,
Cesare F. (Amber D.) Di Battista, and her grandsons, Antonio C. and
Matteo G. Di Battista.
Cynthia was preceded in death by her parents, Rodney and Muriel Brooks.
Arrangements were placed into the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
