A third-generation Santa Cruz native, born Cynthia Ann Marie Busenhart, she was the beloved only daughter of Clifford and Alice Busenhart. From the day she was born she was her father’s pride and joy. After many years working in veterinary medicine, Cynthia found her true calling as a renal dietitian, where her compassion and dedication touched countless lives. At an early age she fell in love with animals. As a child she was always bringing home stray animals, loved riding her horses and was always willing to take on animals with disabilities.
She was a lover of nature and enjoyed spending time with her family and friends outdoors. Cynthia’s biggest passion was her family and friends. She was so proud of her two boys. Cynthia is survived by her two brothers, Chris and Curtis Busenhart; her sons, Sebastian and Gabriel Robison; her husband, Chris Robison; her many nieces and nephews and a house full of heartbroken critters. She is deeply loved, dearly missed, and forever remembered. Our memories of her will be cherished always.
Donations in her honor can be made to Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter (www.scanimalshelter.org/donate), a cause close to her heart.
