In Loving Memory

Cynthia Renee Hancock of Portland. Ore. passed
away of congestive heart failure on Aug. 30, 2020.
Cynthia was born in Portland on April 20, 1951 to
James and Marion Benton. She moved to Oakland
Calif. with her two children David and Treasta in
1975. She worked at Grove Valve Regulator during
most of her time in California. She married Horace
Hancock in 1983 and they all lived in a beautiful
home in Fairfield, Calif.
Cynthia was a beloved figure known for her infec-
tious laugh, her joyful spirit and her sweet-natured
demeanor. She eventually moved back to Portland

ed herself with family, friends and neighbors.
Cynthia was preceded in death by her father James

David and Treasta Benton, mother Marion Benton,
sisters Toni Lincoln and Aaliyah Azeem, brothers Ed-

Tymchuk said the museum
has received new memberships
and donations to support its
clean-up effort, but said none of
the support has affected him as
much as a gift from a neighbor
named Oscar.
In a note that accompanied a
$1 donation, Oscar wrote: “Hel-
lo, I’m homeless so I don’t have
much to give you, just some of
my bottle collecting money. But
I saw your windows got broken
and wanted to help. You once
gave me a free tour before the
pandemic, so this is a thank you.”
“In my time as executive di-
rector, I have seen OHS receive
truly incredible gifts — but this
one has touched my heart tre-
mendously,” Tymchuk said.
