Cynthia Ann Dolph-McKenna

She Lived Life to the Fullest

Cynthia Ann Dolph- McKenna of Winthrop passed away on January 12.

The beloved wife of the late Robert “Truck” McKenna, she was the loving daughter of the late Dr. Robert W. Dolph and Phyllis (Walker) Dolph, NP of Manchester NH; devoted mother of Ian Robert McKenna and his wife, Andi McKenna and their children: Jack, Charlotte and Lila of Newburyport and Siobhan Susan (McKenna) Simonetti and her husband, Michael Simonetti of East Boston; dear sister of Kimberly (Dolph) Carey and her husband, Tim Carey of Haddam Neck, Ct, the late Susan (Dolph) Leach and her husband, Dan Leach of Manchester, NH and the late Robert T. Dolph and his wife, Nancy (Schneider) Dolph of Stratford, CT and cherished grandmother of Alani Rios of East Boston. She loved all her nieces and nephews and stalked them relentlessly on Facebook, and their children Wilder Kline and Molly Susan Leach – whom she had hoped to meet and will be watching over.

Cindi lived life to its fullest. She rolled around in the mud at Woodstock. She marched for women’s rights. She was a die-hard liberal who loved a good political debate. Her happiest place was at the beach on a summer day. She was a friend of Bill W and never let a fellow friend in need down. She was a first responder, a caring nurse, and after retirement, she enjoyed cuddling babies in the neonatal intensive care unit at MGH. But most of all, she loved being ‘Nanny’ to her Alani. 

Friends and family are welcome to spend a few minutes or hours to swap stories or air grievances at the Orient Heights Yacht Club on January 22 from 12 Noon to 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the Dr. Robert W Dolph Scholarship foundation, ECSU, 83 Windham St., Willimantic, CT 06226.
