She married David Rilling on August 18, 1995 in San Diego, California. Their love endured 26 years and they would have celebrated their 26th anniversary 2 days after her passing.
Cynthia was the heart and rock of the Swick and Smith families. Her love, devotion, and caring for her family and friends was felt and known by all who had the privilege to know her. She had two children, her oldest son Matthew and her youngest son Daniel. They blessed her with six grandchildren, Audreana, Rosiary, Patrick, Alexis, Victoria and Zachary as well as one great granddaughter, Liliana. She was lucky enough to gain an additional three daughters upon her marriage with David, Erika, Paula and Mary Jo. They blessed her with an additional five grandchildren, Sarah, Ethan, Josh, Grant and Scott. Both Cynthia and David had so much love in their hearts that they welcomed four foster children into their home who they continue to love.
Cynthia is survived by her husband, David, her mother, Laura, her sons, Matthew and Dan, and her loving grandchildren.
