Cynthia Michele Puleo's Obituary
It is with sad and heavy hearts that we have to announce the death of Cynthia Michele Puleo. Cynthia, who was 48, passed away on Sunday November 7, 2021.
Cynthia was born in Arlington Heights, IL on February 15, 1973. She is survived by her parents, Bobbie and Frank Puleo, brother Tony (Vicky) Puleo, twin sister Jennifer (Caleb) Taylor and nephews Nick (Angel) Puleo, Anthony (Stephanie) Puleo, Jaxon and Jase Taylor, nieces Evelyn Puleo (Stacia Hoskins) and Katie Puleo, and Grand nephews and nieces Jerico, Alex, Vivian and Seraphina Puleo. She was a daughter, a sister, a niece, an aunt, a cousin, a friend, a co-worker and a BAB to those who really knew her.
She spent her entire life helping people. She worked as a CNA for 14 years at St. Joseph’s Hospital then 3 years as an LPN at the VA Medical Clinic until she graduated from Capella University with her Bachelors of Science in Nursing on January 31, 2020. After receiving her BSN degree, she continued to work at the VA clinic as an RN for the next 3 years.
When she wasn’t saving the world she enjoyed cooking, crafting, and reading books, but most of all, the one thing she loved to do more than anything was to laugh with friends and family. She was warm and kind and willing to give the shirt off her back if she thought it would help. She was sincere, genuine, and very thoughtful. She always put the needs of others in front of her own. She has touched and brightened the lives of so many people and will be forever missed. The world is truly a sadder place without her.
