Cynthia J. Brininger

Cynthia Brininger, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 17, 2026, after living with ALS with extraordinary courage and grace. She met every challenge with a fighter’s spirit, a steady determination, and a heart that never stopped caring for the people around her.

Cynthia’s light was unmistakable. She was bright, warm, and deeply felt by anyone who crossed her path. She had a gift for making others feel seen, supported, and loved. Her compassion touched countless lives, and her presence brought comfort, laughter, and strength to her family and community.

She is survived by her devoted husband, William Brininger, and their three children: Danielle, Kimberlee, and William. Cynthia was also a proud and loving grandmother to her granddaughter, Luna, who brought her immense joy and whose life will forever be touched by Cynthia’s love and spirit.

Though her absence leaves an ache beyond words, Cynthia’s legacy lives on in the kindness she shared so freely and the light she brought into the world. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Helt Funeral Chapel, Mill Hall has charge of the arrangements.
