Obituary of Cynthia A. Adams

Brimfield--Cynthia Anne Adams was born on June 30, 1954 in Northampton, MA and passed of natural causes on December 25, 2020 in Brimfield, MA. She lived her early life in Amherst MA and graduated from Amherst Regional High School in 1972. She went on to earn a bachelor degree from UMass Amherst.

Cindy had a very competitive spirit which was on full display while playing in multiple softball leagues in Amherst, on the volleyball court and in every other sport, board or card game she participated in. She was passionate about the arts and loved theatre and dance. Cindy was a gifted interpreter of astrology and tarot cards. She was also a writer and enjoyed interacting with other writers, always eager to offer her support and encouragement. In the 1987, Cindy moved to Maryland to further her education. Her compassion for others led her to pursue a degree in Psychotherapy.

She earned her Master’s degree at Towson University. Cindy had a positive impact on many lives while working as a psychotherapist, and for that she was very proud. While in Maryland she met and fell in love with Gregor Becker, whom she married on 1/7/1989. Cindy was an open minded, and spiritual person. She had a willingness to experience different cultures, and embraced alternative ways of thinking. She was excited to share what she learned, and was always ready to perform Reiki or guide others on a journey to find their spirit animal.

Nothing was more important to Cindy than family. She loved to get together to play games, sports, have discussions or act out a play. Melding her love of drama and writing, Cindy would travel from Maryland to join the family on week long vacations bearing the scripts she had written for everyone to participate in the latest play she created. Although countless hours were spent developing each part, Cindy always encouraged the “actors” to embrace their improvisational skills. It was during these vacations that Family classics including: The Shoot-Out at the I’m Okay, You’re Okay Corral, Werewolves of Lincoln, The Day before Independence and Harry Potter and the Soothsaying Mirror were produced.

In 2012, Cindy returned to Massachusetts to be near the family she loved so much. She is survived by her beloved husband, Gregor Becker. Her loving Sisters and Brothers: Susan Merriam and husband James of Maynard, Lawrence E. Adams Jr and wife Deborah of Northampton, Gregory Adams and wife Diane of Shutesbury, Ronald Adams and wife Donna of Hadley, Laura Merriam and husband Stephen of Milford, Lynda Stedman and husband Mark of Sturbridge. Her Nieces and Nephews: Jeffrey Adams and wife Catherine Curley, Kristen Lemoi and husband Jody and their daughters Mckenna and Emerson, Brittney Stedman, Eric Adams, Dalton Adams, Alexandra Merriam, Taylor Stedman and Kaitlyn Merriam. As well as many loving cousins. She is predeceased by her parents: Lawrence E. Adams, Sr. and Cecelia (Pat) Adams.

A celebration of life will be held to remember Cindy at such time as friends and family can once again come together without limitation or restriction.
