Cynthia Jo

"Cindy" Constien

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Cynthia Jo Constien of Port Clinton on the morning of April 22, 2026 at the age of 71.

Cindy was born on March 14, 1955. She graduated from Paulding High School in 1973 and went on to attend Patricia Stevens Career College in 1974. That same year, she married the love of her life, Robert W. Constien, beginning a partnership that would span more than five decades filled with family, laughter, and unwavering devotion.

Cindy will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 52 years, Rob, and her children: Seth (Elise) and their children Noelle, Marie, and Andrew; Philip (Melissa) and their children Caleb, Maci, and Emma; Sarah (Neil) and their children Alison, Paige, and Jared; Jared (deceased) and Jennifer (Brian) and their children Jake, Luke, and Mackenzie.

She is also survived by her mother, Phyllis Crossland, her brother Don Crossland Jr., and her sister Susan Crossland, along with many extended family members and friends who will cherish her memory. She was preceded in death by her father, Donald Crossland Sr., and her beloved son, Jared Constien. Cindy lived life with warmth, humor, and a genuine love for those around her. She found joy in flower gardening and counted cross-stitch, often creating beauty with her hands and sharing it with others. She had a deep appreciation for history, especially the American Civil War and Native American history, and loved researching her own genealogy, spending countless hours discovering the stories of her family's past.

She was an active member of her community, participating in the Mauna Book Club, the Port Clinton Yacht Club, and the Republican Women. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she served as a Deacon at Firelands Presbyterian Church, where she gave her time and heart in service to others. Above all, Cindy will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her home was a place of warmth, laughter, and love, and her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

Visitation is planned on Friday May 1st at Firelands Presbyterian Church, 2626 E. Harbor Rd. Port Clinton, OH from 9:00-11:00 AM with service following at 11:00 am. The following day there will be a memorial service at 1:00 pm at First Presbyterian Church, 114 West Caroline St. Paulding, OH and a celebration of life from 1:30-3:00 PM at the church.
