Cynthia Potter

Cindy Potter, age 57, of Newark, Delaware, died on July 24, 2022 surrounded by her husband and children. 

Cindy grew up in Elkton, Maryland and was a graduate of Elkton High School.  Later while working at Terumo Medical Corporation she met the love of her life, married, and moved to Newark and began a new story together with their kids.  Cindy attended Schilling-Douglas School of Hair Design and upon graduating began her career as a talented and beloved hair stylist that could make anyone laugh. After retiring, Cindy later went on to enjoy a few years as a teacher at Schilling-Douglas and found her passion as “Ms. Cindy”. 

More than anything, Cindy adored her family. She loved days at home joking and laughing with her husband, “jamming” to her favorite music, sitting in her backyard enjoying nature, strong coffee with her mom, and visits from her kids. She was known for being fiercely protective and loving of her family. Cindy freely gave her heart, time, and support to her friends and family, and always gave long warm hugs. Cindy’s presence, love, humor and companionship will be deeply missed.

Cindy was predeceased by her son Jason Potter.  She is survived by her loving mother, Gladys Biddle Ciskowski, her best friend and husband of 35 years Tom Potter,  son Jon Whalen and daughter-in-law Melissa, daughter Sandy Potter, and father Gene Jones. Cindy is also survived by her beloved nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends that are all like family.  At Cindy’s request, no services will be held.
