LEWISTON — Cynthia Camille (Bernier) Faulk, 68, of North Jay died peacefully at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center on Friday, March 17, following a brief illness.
She was born to Rene Alphonse and Rita Dolores (Cyr) Bernier on Jan. 10, 1949, in Lewiston. Cindy graduated from St. Petersburg High School in St. Petersburg, Fla., in 1968, and earned her respiratory therapist certificate through coursework over several years.
Cindy’s most recent work assignment was that of a traveling respiratory therapist. Some of her more memorable assignments were St. Luis Obispo, Calif., Baltimore, Md., and Swampscott, Mass. Prior to being a traveling therapist, Cindy worked locally at St. Mary’s in Lewiston and at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bangor.
Cindy recently moved to Jay from Mars Hill with her loving companion, Albert Ricci. Cindy and Al bought a beautiful ranch-style home in North Jay, where they planned to live out their retirement and be closer to her family.
