Cindy R. Caughey

Cindy R. (Bryan) Caughey, a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend, passed away on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at Hospicare, Ithaca, NY, at the age of 66, following a brief illness.

Cindy was born on August 11, 1958, in Binghamton, NY, the daughter of Robert Bryan, Sr. and Ada Livermore Bryan.

For many years, Cindy dedicated herself to the nurturing of young children as a day care provider in Ithaca. Her compassion and dedication to her work left an indelible mark on the families she served. Most recently, she was employed by Borg Warner, Inc., where she continued to be a valued member of her workplace.

Cindy had a passion for creativity; she loved to quilt and experienced great joy in working in her flower garden, transforming her surroundings into vibrant displays of color and beauty. In her leisure time, she found excitement in gambling, particularly enjoying her scratch-off tickets, which brought her moments of thrill and joy.

Cindy is remembered fondly by her husband, John Caughey, of Richford, and her sons, Adam Morehouse of Oregon and Aaron (Laura) Morehouse of Cortland. She is also survived by her mother, Ada Bryan, of Cortland, and her sisters, Lisa (Danny) Warren of Binghamton and Dottie Sturdevant of Marathon. Cindy's life was enriched by her friendships, including her dear friend Dan Sowers of Florida, and she leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who will cherish her memory.

She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Bryan, Sr., and her sister, Bonnie Bryan.

In keeping with her wishes, there will be no immediate services. A celebration of Cindy’s life will be held at a later date. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Cindy may be directed to Hospicare, 172 E. King Road, Ithaca, NY 14850.

Cindy's legacy is one of kindness, creativity, and an unwavering love for her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
