Cynthia M. (Colucci) Sundberg

GENEVA - Cynthia M. Sundberg, 63, of South Eagle Street, died Saturday, Dec. 1, 2001, after a heroic battle with lung cancer.
She will be greatly missed by friends and family.

Mrs. Sundberg was born June 30, 1938, in Sliver Creek, N.Y., the daughter of Andrew and Angeline (Volpone) Colucci. She was a 1956 Geneva High School graduate. As a young woman, she had an avid interest in fashion and dancing. For 10 years she participated in a pinochle club with her friends.
She was a member of the Thursday High Ladies League at Sonny Lanes for 35 years and volunteered with the Cinder-Ellas, the Harpersfield Fire Department Ladies' Auxiliary. In recent years she also volunteered with the county Mental Health Board.

She worked as a salesperson at Wright's Department Store and Garrick's Clothing in downtown Geneva. She also worked and volunteered at Assumption Catholic Church and School for a good portion of her life.

She was a celebrator of life and encouraged everyone around her to enjoy life and make the most out of what God had given them. She was a mother to every child, a supporter and helper to all she knew and at times even those she did not know. Above her dedication to the community and the church, she was totally devoted to her parents, siblings, children, and their progress.

Survivors include her children, Toni Phelps of Ashtabula, Ralph J. Padavick Jr., of Geneva, Jeffrey Padavick of Austin, Texas, Connie Siedlarczyk of Concord Township, Tiffanee Seames of Geneva, and Tracee Sallaz of Sanford, N.C.; grandchildren, David, Andy, Colten, Jake, Bianca, Samantha, Angeline, Jeffrey, Joseph, Tabitha, and Garrett; a sister, Andrea Monroe of Erie, Pa.; and three brothers, Richard Colucci of Erie, Pa., Ron Colucci of Cleveland, and Alan Colucci of Pittsburgh. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ralph J. Padavick Sr.,; and a brother, Roger Colucci.

Service is 10 a.m. Thursday at Assumption Church, 594 W. Main St., Geneva, with the Rev. Paul Tobin officiating. Burial will be in All Souls Cemetery, Chardon.
Calling hours are 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Donald E. Walker Funeral Home, 828 Sherman St., Geneva.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Assumption Church Scholarship Fund. Envelopes will be available at the funeral.
