Levin, Cynthia

West Palm Beach, Florida

Cynthia (Katz) Levin passed away on the evening of November 1, 2024 at her home in West Palm Beach, Florida. She was the beloved wife of the late Milton Levin, with whom she shared 50 wonderful years of marriage.

Born on August 19, 1937 in Everett, Massachusetts, Cynthia was the daughter of Celia “Chippy” Katz and Dr. Harold Katz. She resided in Chelsea, Massachusetts until her marriage to Milton in 1961, after which she moved to Providence, Rhode Island.

Cynthia earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Massachusetts – Amherst in 1959, followed by her Masters of Counseling from Rhode Island College in 1981.

She was an active member in the community throughout her life, serving as a volunteer at The Miriam Hospital in Providence, an intern at Woonsocket Family Health & Services, a counselor to women at Planned Parenthood, and a member of the congregation at Temple Emanu-El.

Above all else, Cynthia was devoted to her children, her husband, and her friends. Her joys in life revolved around spending time with others, and experiencing what life had to offer. Some of her most cherished hobbies included traveling, wine tasting, book club, playing MahJong, and entertaining her family and friends by hosting holiday parties and Shabbat dinners.
