Cynthia C. (Allison) Johnson, 100 years young, passed away peacefully at Silver Maples of Chelsea on October 31, 2021. She had a rich and exciting life. Before marrying her loving husband, Dan, of 50 plus years, Cindy was a model for many sporting goods companies, including Chris-Craft. She loved the people she met and the opportunity to travel. After marriage, she used her secretarial skills to help her husband establish a thriving insurance business.
She was a lover of and advocate for all animals, but dogs were her soft spot. In addition to her own beloved Trinket, Henri, and Golly, she opened up her home to several foster pets over the years.
The travel bug never went away, and Cindy and Dan traveled extensively throughout the United States with a special fondness for Hawaii and the “Valley of the Sun” in Arizona.
But, they always returned home to (Missouri and) Michigan and the family they loved. Cindy was a doting, loving, and fun aunt to two generations of nieces and nephews.
Cindy was a kind and gentle person who lived by the “Golden Rule” her parents instilled in her. It is no wonder her life was filled with people who loved and respected her.
In addition to Dan, Cindy was preceded in death by her parents, Moneta and Fred Allison; forever sister-in-law, Katie Ann Morrison; nephew, Carl Rody Allison; special friend, Len Hitz; and beloved best friend and brother, Carl Allison.
She is survived by several long-time friends; nieces, Patty (Dean) Flora, Stephanie Hartman and family, Sandi (Ted) Szufnar, beloved great-nephew, Thadd Szufnar, and great-niece, Elizabeth (Mike) Wheeler.
The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of Silver Maples, especially her caregivers, and Arbor Hospice.
Donations in Cindy’s memory may be made to the animal charity of your choice.
