Lucinda Ann (Cindy) Edwards Ashman – Passed away peacefully on November 10th, 2024.
She was born at the Providence Lying-In Hospital on September 21st, 1942, to Dorothy (Hemming) and Oliver Dean Edwards. She lived in Barrington, RI most of her life (BHS Class of 1960) prior to moving to Rumford, RI.
Throughout her career, she worked as an administrative assistant for lawyers, engineers and for the last 16 years before her retirement at Newman Congregational Church in Rumford, RI where she found another family who she loved also. Most of her life was devoted to raising her four children. She is survived by Richard Peter Ashman (his spouse Lynette), Nanci-Ann Butler (her spouse Domenic), Robert Dean Ashman (his spouse Renee) and William Edward Ashman (his spouse Jana). She also had nine Grandchildren: Jeremy Lee (his spouse Rachel), Megan Waddington (her spouse John), Jacob Butler, Jordan Butler, Jennifer Dyer (her spouse Chris), Willow Ashman, Jarid Ashman, Jeremy Ashman, Lily Ashman and nine Great Grandchildren, Ashton, Kyle, Maddison, Declan, Isabella, Lucy, Danielle, Everett and Marlee. She is also survived by many cousins and her loving cat “Heidi.”
Her greatest love, besides her family, was enjoying the beauty of Briggs Beach in Little Compton, RI each summer season since she was very young. She spent time there every year and found it to be her “little piece of God’s country”. She loved the ocean, the birds and the spiritual connection that it provided, not to mention the family gatherings and the many memories shared there.
The family invites all to attend a celebration of life service that will be held at Newman Congregational Church, 100 Newman Ave, Rumford, RI 02916, on December 14th, 2024, at 10AM. The burial will be private.
