Cyndy was born on July 21, 1942 in Baghdad, Iraq; the daughter of British Consul General, Stanley G. Burt-Andrews and his wife Vera N. (Boyadjieva) Burt-Andrews. She graduated from Pitman College in London prior to moving to the United States. Cyndy worked for 26 years at the headquarters of McCrory Stores and then continued her career at York Water Company until her retirement. She was a member of Red Hat Society and served on the Board of Directors for Wellington Greens HOA. Cyndy enjoyed playing cards, putting puzzles together, and watching British TV and murder mysteries. More than anything, she loved spending time with her family. Cyndy never missed one of her grandchildren’s dance recitals or bowling matches.

Cyndy was renowned for her kind, endearing personality and her ability to forge many deep, lasting friendships, a skill she developed as the daughter of a British diplomat who was stationed in various countries all over the world.

Cyndy is survived by a son, Paul W. Minnich, Esq. and wife Donna of York; a daughter, Val Suenderhaft and husband Walter of Upper Darby, PA; two grandchildren, Max and Mariah Minnich; and her dearest friend, Jane Miller of West Palm Beach, FL.
