CYNTHIA JOYCE HARTWICK

Cynthia Joyce Hartwick, 59, of Hawks, passed away in Alpena on Feb. 6, 2024.

She was born in Goodrich on Jan. 19, 1965, to Thomas and Sylvia (Richards) Hartwick.

Cindy was the first person from Presque Isle County to participate in the Special Olympics. She was a life member of the Associates of Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 274 in Cheboygan. Cindy loved spending time with family and could be a little “sassy” if she didn’t agree with you. She enjoyed dancing, music, painting, camping, bowling, and watching Westerns and Star Trek on television. Cindy was involved with Operation Holidays through the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 583 in Alpena.

She was survived by four siblings, Richard Hartwick of St. Helen, Neil Hartwick of Hawks, David (Cindy) Hartwick of Lapeer, and Valerie (John) Schalk of Rogers City; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins.

Cindy was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Sylvia; and a brother, Randy.

Friends may visit at the Beck Funeral Home on Thursday from 11 a.m. through the time of her funeral at 1 p.m.

Burial will follow at Riverside Cemetery in Case Township.
