It is with heavy hearts that the family of Cindy Lee Newhook announce her peaceful passing on October 30, 2025, at the age of 65.

She enjoyed playing bingo, and especially treasured celebrating holidays and special occasions with those she held dear. Her warmth, humor, and unwavering love made her an extraordinary mother, sister, daughter, and friend to all who were fortunate enough to know her. Cindy is predeceased by her beloved parents, Reg and Madonna Mercer; her devoted husband, Perry Newhook Sr.; her parents-in-law, Hayward and Elizabeth Newhook; and her dear brother, Neil Mercer.

Cindy’s love and laughter will live on in their hearts forever. Interment will take place at the Anglican Cemetery in Norman’s Cove at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, November 10, for immediate family.
