Cindy A. Hohman, 75, passed away in the comfort of her family at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington on Tuesday afternoon, January 7, 2020. Born in Montpelier on February 4, 1944, she was a daughter of the late Frederick and Dorothy (George) Blackinton. On April 18, 1986, she married William “Butch” Hohman in Waterbury Center.
Cindy attended Waterbury High School and then went on to serve in a number of positions within the Waterbury community. As a young woman, Cindy waitressed at the former Feedbag restaurant and later was employed as an administrative assistant, first at the Waterbury Village Police Department and then at National Life Insurance Co. in Montpelier.

She is fondly remembered for her affinity to collect all things dolphins, her enjoyment of swimming and spending time at the ocean, and her love for animals.
