Cynthia “Cyndi” Temperato was born on May 18, 1951 in Patterson, New Jersey and passed away on April 13, 2026 in Rochester, New York at age 74 after a brief illness.

She is predeceased by her Father Robert Gibson, mother Jacqueline Gibson, and Sister Jacqueline Gibson. She is survived by her loving husband of 55 years John Temperato, her son Andy, Daughter Tracy (Peter) and grandchildren Vicki, Andrew, Josh and John. She is also survived by her sisters Lauren Miller and Pam Dinallo along with many nieces and nephews she loved dearly.

Cyndi grew up in New Jersey and moved to Avon, NY in 1964. She met John at 15 and the two have been inseparable ever since. They just celebrated their 55th anniversary this past November. They moved to Scottsville, New York in the early 1970’s. Cyndi worked at Specialized in Caledonia until the late 80’s then began working at Heany Industries and also as a dispatcher for the Scottsville police department in the early 90’s. In 1996, they moved to Covington, Louisiana where Cyndi worked as a manger at Charter communications then a small company named Barrister until Cyndi and John decided to move back up to Scottsville in 2014 after 18 years living like a southerner to be closer to family.

Cyndi was involved at Wheatland community church, and was also their secretary, where she met so many lovely people. She was one of the smiling faces you would see as you entered the church because she loved to be a greeter. One of Cyndi’s passions was quilting and she was so good at it. She would often make quilts for ladies at the church who were having babies or even just because. In the spring you would often see her in her garden getting ready for the nice weather. She loved her garden and watching the hummingbirds with John. She just loved the little things in life.

Cyndi was the person you just wanted to be around and you didn’t know why. Her joy and love for the Lord was so infectious. She was very sweet but she wouldn’t hesitate to tell you when you’re wrong.

Friends and family are invited to call on Friday, April 24th from 11-1 at J.H. Cameron Funeral Home, 26 Rochester Street, Scottsville, with a short service to follow at 1pm. Reception to follow at the Scottsville Fire Department Fire Pavilion.
