Cynthia R. Smithson
Cynthia Rollins Smithson, 60, of Fredericksburg, Virginia went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday July 4, 2017 at the Capital Caring hospice facility, The Adler Center in Aldie, Virginia. Cynthia was diagnosed with Stage IV Peritoneal Cancer in August 2014 and fought a courageous battle for nearly three years; beating the odds given to her at the initial diagnosis. She enjoyed working as an assistant to the innkeeper at the Richard Johnston Inn in Fredericksburg, VA where she loved cooking breakfast for the guests. Cynthia’s hobbies included cooking, decorating and making beautiful sea glass jewelry, which she often gave away as gifts to friends and family. She was dearly loved, helped and supported by a close circle of friends and her brother and sister-in-law throughout this difficult journey. She is survived by her children Brandon and Amanda Smithson of Fredericksburg, VA and her brother Tim Rollins and his wife Theresa of Nokesville, VA. She was preceded in death by her parents Carl and Virginia Rollins of Nokesville, VA and her sister Carlene Shepherd of Nokesville, VA. In keeping with Cynthia’s wishes, there will be no services. Donations can be made to Cynthia Smithson’s Memorial Go Fund Me Page and/or the American Cancer Society.
