Cynthia “Cindy” L. White Maine ~ December 26, 2023

Honeoye:  At age 66 Cindy passed away on Tuesday, December 26, 2023 at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY. She was born on December 4, 1957 in Tonawanda, NY to the late Claude and Lucille Maine and is predeceased by an older sister Claudia who passed as a child. Survived by her beloved husband of 11 years, Gerald “Gerry” White; her daughter, Emily (Kelly) Zimdahl-McManus; her sister, Debbie (Rick) Maine Zappia; along with her grandchildren, Marin and Rudiger.

Cindy was a proud alumna of Mount St. Mary Academy, Class of ‘75, where she made lifelong friends. She was a long-time employee of 44 years at HSBC Bank, formerly Marine Midland, where she started as a teller at the ripe age of 18 and worked her way up to Vice President of Payment and Cash Management with her last role as a Product Manager in cards.

Retirement brought her much-deserved rest and relaxation in ‘lake life’ on Honeoye Lake, where she met and bonded with beloved neighbors and friends. She enjoyed boating and the water, coordinated tailgates and was always having fun, making those around her laugh and smile with her sense of humor and theatrics – she was the life of the party!

She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She loved to have a good time: she sang, even if she didn’t know the lyrics, and she danced like no one was watching. She was hardworking and ambitious, always going after what she wanted. She was proud of her Italian heritage and was a great cook! She was spontaneous and adventurous, adding an assortment of DIY projects to her latest list of accomplishments. She had a weak spot for spas and Talbots. She loved animals, was generous and compassionate.

A Celebration of Life is being planned for Saturday, April 13th, at St. Margaret Roman Catholic Church in Buffalo, NY. Details will be forthcoming and shared in the future via social media. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, https://mda.donordrive.com/ – in honor of her Spadone cousins. The family asks if you have photos and memories to share, please do so on this form here so they can compile them all for the Celebration of Life.

The early 1980’s defined Doug’s commitment to the hamlet of Honeoye, where he began investing in the community through small business ownership. Doug knew the importance of investing in Honeoye, its people and how this would build the community. His first small business in the township was the Valley Inn in the early 1980’s. In 1988, he opened Honeoye Auto Parts which has been in business for 35 years.

Doug’s passion for dirt racing was actualized in 1985 when he began sponsoring drivers with Land of Legends. This past race season, he saw Doug Jr. on the dirt track for his inaugural season. The pride and emotion radiated on Doug’s face for his son who is carrying out his passion.

Doug was an avid outdoorsman who loved his property, hunting and travel. Those who knew him best appreciated his sense of humor and work hard, play hard lifestyle. This loss is felt greatly by his family, friends, race community and entire Honeoye community. His contagious smile, humor and prankster antics will be missed by all who loved him.
