Cynthia Phillips Paolucci ’80

Body

Cindy lost her battle against cancer and died May 22, 1995, at her home in Haddonfield, N.J.

She grew up in Haddonfield and was valedictorian of her high school class. At Princeton Cindy was a student government delegate and ran varsity track. She graduated cum laude and won the Walter C. Sauer Prize in economics.

Following Princeton, Cindy worked for Coopers & Lybrand for three years and then for RCA/GE for 11 years, rising to v.p. of financial planning and analysis in 1992. She earned her MBA from NYU in 1986 and her CPA in 1993.

Cindy will long be remembered as a selfless individual who was always more concerned about the welfare of others than for herself. She had an indomitable inner strength, which even her illness could not defeat.

Cindy is survived by her husband, Frank Paolucci '79, her two daughters, Jennifer (13) and Drew (8), her mother, brother, and three sisters. To all of them, the class offers our deepest sympathy. Cindy will be greatly missed.

Contributions can be made to the Cynthia Phillips Paolucci Memorial Scholarship Fund, Attn. W. Stewart Hollingshead, c/o Wheat First Butcher Singer, Two Logan Sq., Philadelphia, PA 19103. The scholarship will be used to aid Haddonfield H.S. seniors who will be attending Princeton.
