Penfield: Cynthia L. Klein (Noaker) of Penfield, NY passed peacefully in her sleep on January 19, 2020, she was 63 years young. Cindy was born in Canandaigua, NY and graduated Canandaigua Academy in 1975. She worked at Canandaigua Winery / Constellation Brands retiring after 42 years of service starting in the Cellar / Bottling room moving to forklift driver and ending her career in transportation.
She was predeceased by her mother Shirlee (Catlin – Cofield) Noaker, father Robert Noaker Sr. and brother James J. Cofield. Survived by her husband of 24 years Andreas Klein; sisters, Susan Read of Honeoye, Kelly (Noaker) Wachs of Atlanta, GA; brothers, Dan A. Noaker and Kevin E. Noaker both of Penfield, and Robert Jr. (Tammy) Noaker of Gorham; and her “Sister from another Mother” Donna Temple of Farmington; neices, Christina M. Noaker of Farmington, Alison Wachs of Pheonix, AZ; and nephew Jesse Pitkin of Simpsonville, SC.
Cindy’s life was illuminated by beauty, driven by hard work, and filled with unconditional love for others. If she saw an opportunity to help someone or simply to brighten their day, she made it happen. It didn’t matter where she was or who you were to her, a friend, a stranger or even a stray animal lost and alone.
Cindy was a multi-talented person earning her the family nick name of “Martha Friggin Stewart” the only thing is she was ten times better than Martha. Her cooking was beyond compare and she was always treating her family and friends with her marvelous cuisine. Her gardens were on a level of the Home and Garden caliber. She could fix a hem, sew a missing button or make you a whole suit. But most of all her personality was like no other. Her radiant beauty was unlike any other. She warmed any room and made you feel safe and comfortable. Her memory will continue to comfort us all in the years to come.
Family and friends may call on Saturday, January 25th, from 12noon-2pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., 8624 Main Street, Honeoye, NY where Cindy’s funeral service will be held at 2pm, following calling hours. Burial will follow at Richmond Center Cemetery.

Cindy always reminded me of her mother, Shirlee, a wonderful giving person. A smile to light up a room and a heart that was huge. Our sincere condolences to the Klein/Noaker families. Rest In Peace dear friend.
Rest in peace Cindy… your sister wrote a beautiful tribute. Peace to your family.
Cindy was one of my first friends, dating back to early Elementary School in Canandaigua. I considered her a mentor for many, many years and always looked up to her.
One of my fondest memories of Cindy was when we had art class. I couldn’t (still can’t!) draw a straight line with a ruler, but Cindy was a great artist, so she would do my art projects for me.
Cindy and I haven’t been in touch for a couple of years, which saddens me, because now I can never tell her that I think of her almost every day, and the thoughts always bring me a warm feeling. Even without being in touch with her, I looked up to her and knew that she would always be there if I needed her. I will miss her.
It is unusual, as a truck driver, to form a lasting friendship with the lady at the window where you pick up your paperwork, but that’s the way it was with Cindy. She was warm, funny and friendly all while dealing with multiple drivers, with varying personalities, with efficiency and professionalism. Our sincere sympathy to you Andreas, and to all who loved her.
Wishing you peace, dear Cindy.
Sue and Joani we are so sorry for your loss, Our thoughts and love are with you during this difficult time.
Praying that Cindy’s family and friends find comfort in their many memories.

She could smack a softball harder than anyone I have ever seen!

Condolences to the Family and Friends of Cindy, and especially to those who were both.
Thank you Cindy for your bright smile and bubbly personality, you brought sunshine to many cloudy days. Thanks for the stress-relieving hugs right when they were needed. You are sorely missed, but the memories of our good days together will never pass…
Our heart go out to your family during this awful time period Cindy was a remarkable lady with unbelievable compassion when I was losing my mother. She stayed up for 2 nights in a row talking me through as my mother lay dying. She had never met me prior to that time but that didn’t matter she was a phenomenal woman and she overcame so many obstacles that most people would have given up on my husband and I send your family our deepest sympathy and promise you that Cindy will not be forgotten by us ever. I know my mother was there to welcome her and thank her for being an extra sister at a time when I needed her and I pray that you all have the knowledge that that was an extraordinary woman even if you never met her fortunately I did meet her. She was an aunt to my daughter for the birth of her child and listen to the frustrations that a new mother has what a compassionate soul she was. Thank you Cindy for being on the earth when we needed you the most.
My heartfelt sympathies & condolences to Andreas & Family. Cindy was the kindest most sincere person to everyone who crossed her path…I will miss you dearly sweet lady…Thank You for a Wonderful Friendship. I Love You Cinderelly!!!
