Lucinda Ann Farrant

Our family is saddened to announce the passing of Lucinda "Cindy" Ann Bartlett Farrant on

October 6, 2024, at the age of 74. Cindy passed while visiting close friends in upstate New York,

near her hometown of St. Johnsville. She was born on May 15, 1950, in Little Falls, NY, to the

late John Bartlett and Lucille VonderBorn.

Cindy spent much of her younger years in upstate New York, forming lifelong friendships while

working at places such as Nick Stoner Inn, Vroomans, and others. She later found immense joy

in her work at Timber Ridge Elementary in Marietta, GA, where she served in the school library

for many years until her retirement in 2013. Cindy always spoke fondly of her time at Timber

Ridge, the close friendships she made there, and the many children she had the pleasure of

reading to and meeting.

A devoted member of Mt. Bethel Church in Marietta, GA, Cindy rarely missed a Sunday service.

She was an involved member that coached multiple different sports teams her children were on

at the church. When it became difficult to attend in person, she learned to stream services on

her TV, ensuring she stayed connected to a community that was very important to her.

Cindy also had a passion for basket-weaving, creating beautiful pieces for friends and family

over the years. She enjoyed losing herself in classic crime thrillers and Stephen King novels. She

would love to recount memories, pass on family stories, and simply talk with you for hours. She

was a true friend to everyone she met, and always wanted to know how you were doing, even

if she wasn’t feeling her best. She really felt as if she was ‘mom’ to everyone. Her smile was

warmth itself, with sometimes a hint of mischievousness underneath. She was always

immensely positive and truly was one of the brightest spots in our family. To know Cindy was to

love her, and what a joy it was to love her.

She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Marcus "Mark" Farrant III; her son, Aaron Solar, his

wife, Sarah Dabney, and their three children, Alexander (10), William (10), and Caroline (6); her

son, Scott Farrant, his wife, Andi Farrant, and their daughter, Persephone (1); her daughter,

Kate Farrant; her sister, Betsy Johnston; and her brother, John Bartlett.

A visitation and memorial service in Cindy’s honor will be held on Friday, November 22, 2024, at

10:30 a.m. at the Canton Funeral Home and Cemetery, 10655 E Cherokee Dr., Canton, GA

30115. An inurnment ceremony will follow at 1:30 p.m. at Georgia National Cemetery, 1080

Scott Hudgens Dr., Canton, GA 30114.
