Blecka, Cynthia Dawn (6 June 1960 – 11 October 2022)

Cynthia D. Blecka, age 62, of Thorp, passed away on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at her home. Per Cyndi's request, no formal services will be held.

Cynthia Dawn Gabryel was born on June 6, 1960, in Chicago, IL, the daughter of Frederick and Clarice (Bolstad) Gabryel. At the age of 3, Cyndi's family moved to Gilman, WI where she was raised, educated, and graduated from Gilman High School. She later attended St. Olaf's College in Minnesota, earning her Certified Medical Assistant degree. Cyndi (a.k.a. Chocolate) was united in marriage to Timothy W. Blecka on October 6, 1984, at St. John's Lutheran Church in rural Gilman. Cyndi worked for Zastrow Nursing Home in Gilman, and later she and her sister owned and operated several group homes for the developmentally disabled until her retirement.

She had many hobbies, but especially enjoyed her flower gardens, crocheting, knitting, arts and crafts, Blues and old Rock & Roll music, playing the piano and organ for several area churches when needed, and she was also frequently asked to sing at events with her beautiful soprano voice.

Cyndi is survived by her husband, Timothy "Buckshot" Blecka, of Thorp; two daughters: Taryn Leigh Blecka and Ciara Marie Blecka, both of Thorp; one grandson: Fritz; her mother: Clarice Gabryel of Gilman; one sister: Tracy Gabryel of Gilman; and one niece: Delta Gabryel of Gilman.

She was preceded in death by her father, and by her grandparents, Normal and Bernice Bolstad.
