To Cynthia Rudolph, the bright and cheery petals of a single colorful tissue paper flower illuminating against the white walls of her hospital room symbolized hope, faith and beauty. Easy to replicate, it would eventually be the way Cynthia could inspire others to remain positive in their own battle with cancer.
Cynthia was diagnosed in March 2014 with lymphoma and died at age 40 on April 7, 2015. She is survived by her husband, Alex, of almost 10 years and their young son, Owen, along with family and
friends around the world. Cynthia’s lifetime passion was her family and being a stay-at-home mom. The love for her son and the gift of being his mother provided her with inspiration to want to give back.
Cynthia’s legacy
As a patient, no matter what Cynthia faced - she always stayed positive. It was important to her that others could still see beauty in life despite having to go through cancer treatments like herself. Due to weak immune systems and the risk of infection on inpatient cancer floors, live plants and flowers are prohibited. Cynthia’s desire to add some cheerfulness drove her to develop a simple solution: create brightly colored flowers made from tissue paper.
Now, with the help of her family and friends, several bunches of Cynthia’s Flowers have been delivered to various hospitals throughout the country.
Today, Cynthia is remembered for her beautiful smile and her belief in remaining strong and positive throughout treatment. Her legacy continues providing hope and inspiration to others.
