Cindy was born April 18, 1948, in Sharon, a daughter of Nick and Dorothy (Wilson) Bonta.  She was a 1966 graduate of Hickory High School and earned her associates degree from Youngstown State University.  Cindy began her career at the former Sharon Transformer Division of Westinghouse Electric Corp. where she was employed until its closing in 1983.  She then worked as an office administrator for what is now Brodell Medical, Warren, Ohio, for nearly twenty years.  Cindy was active in the community and belonged to many organizations, including the American Business Women's Association (ABWA).  She also volunteered countless hours to help cancer patients and participated in many of the annual Relay For Life and ALS walkathons.  Cindy was an active member of Covenant Presbyterian Church, Sharon, where she sang in the choir for many years and was a teacher for its Kiddie Corner.  She was an avid reader and enjoyed traveling, particularly to visit her daughters and trips to the casinos.

She is survived by her father, who resides in Hermitage; her husband of 41 years, David Gene Nicoloff, whom she married July 30, 1976; two daughters, Jennifer L.
