Cynthia Marie Asaro was born on March 7, 1949, to Frank Asaro and Betty Grossenbacher of Saint Louis, Missouri. The eldest of six children, she was an advocate for family and a true matriarch, devoting her life to raising her siblings, her child, grandchildren, and any loved one in need.

 Cynthia was a devout Christian and servant to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She attended the St. Louis Public Schools system and worked as a certified nursing assistant for over 40 years until her retirement. She enjoyed baking, listening to music, movies, crosswords, and nature.

She is preceded in her home-going by her parents, brother (Greg), and her daughter (Laura).

Ms. Cynthia Asaro leaves to cherish her memories, siblings (Robert, Johnny, Charlotte, and Ricky), grandchildren (Gerald, Danny, Ashley, Omanuel, Antonio, and Betty), 12 great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends whom she loved dearly.
