Cindy Lynn DeRego (Lampro), of Derry, NH, 42, born October 3rd, 1970 in Manchester to Phillip and Leona Lampro of Derry, passed away on October 8th at Brigham and Women's Hospital after a ferocious battle with cancer.
Cindy graduated from Londonderry High School and spent a year abroad in Regensburg Germany as an exchange student. She also graduated with the class of 1994 from New England College with a degree in International Administration. Cindy always aspired to work with The United Nations. She loved riding her horse, Dallas, reading, making jellies, jams, and pickles, baking, and gardening. Cindy had a dry sense of humor and loved British comedy, and Zatoichi samurai movies. She developed a love for The Boston Red Sox, and via that, Fisher Cats Baseball. Cindy was beautiful, with a shock of thick red hair and wide pale blue eyes. It is physically impossible for anyone to love their children more than Cindy loved Ian and Margaret. Cindy fought cancer to the bitter end and as the battle dragged on, irrespective of the challenges facing her, girded her loins and moved forward to meet them. She preferred historical fiction and romance books but sometimes delved into political and biographical works. Cindy always wished to return to Arundel, England where she and Jeffrey met and fell in love. She worked as a customer service supervisor for State Line Tack, Comcast, and Herrington Catalog Company. Cindy was a member of the Alpha Theta Psi fraternity. She loved cheering at the finish line for her family as they learned to run in local footraces. She had planned, once vanquishing cancer, to join them. Cindy loved music, most recently The Foo Fighters, and Adele. She was relentlessly supportive of her husband's writing and extremely proud of his success. She loved to paint her toenails and bake cookies with Margaret and snuggle on the couch with Ian to watch monster movies. Even when at her sickest, Cindy surrounded her family with affection. Cindy was a great friend -- a best friend -- she was loved by many, and will be missed by all who had the good fortune to know her.
She leaves behind her beloved husband, Jeffrey, their children Ian and Margaret DeRego; her mother and father, and siblings; Donna Lambert, Matthew Webb, Jonathan Webb, Lisa Mae Rowell, Timothy Lampro, and the late Amon Webb; and a crowd of nieces and nephews.
Calling hours at the Peabody Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 15 Birch St., Derry were held on Friday October 12th from 5 - 7PM with a memorial service that followed.
