Cynthia Marie Wachowiak age 62 of Stevens Point, passed away February 4, 2017 at St. Michaels Hospital. She was diagnosed with lupus at a young age which eventually took her kidneys. She was on dialysis for a time before receiving a kidney from her brother James. This gave her 19 ½ years, in which time she and her husband adopted two children. Lupus struck again, taking her 2nd donated kidney, by her sister-in-law Lisa. All toll, Cynthia had 30 years to enjoy family, friends, and life due to loving kidney donations. A wish of Cynthia’s is that more people would become organ donors, so others may live life.

Friends and family will gather to share memories from 10:00 AM Thursday until the time of services at the church. In lieu of flowers a memorial will be established in her name for the local Lupus Foundation. Shuda Funeral Services are honored to assist the family.
