Cindy Lee Brar was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She left this world suddenly on July 11, 2022.
Born to Jean and Gerald Fullerton on October 5, 1957 in Trail, BC. After graduating high school, Cindy moved to Victoria to attend university and a short two years later met Dave. Her and Dave married in 1983 and together had two children: Kirsten and Paige.
Cindy was an incredibly loving and caring person. She loved to welcome people into her home for meals and games, cards, mahjong, dice and more. You could always find Cindy speed reading a good book and she was a quiet poet and artist. Cindy loved a good adventure, traveling and exploring with Dave and friends. She was an avid golfer and curler, enjoying playing both but she really loved the community aspect of the games. She was always getting involved in tournaments, all the social events, and serving on the various boards and committees.
Cindy was a fabulous student, completing numerous degrees and certificates. She was passionate about all kinds of education and a lifelong learner. Cindy was always looking at what she could learn next, a new skill was never far outside of her reach. She began working at Royal Roads on the project team to establish the University and later served on the board of governors. After 25 years of working at RRU she retired in 2020 but her love of the university kept her coming back and she continued to work at RRU until this June.
She will be greatly missed by the love of her life for over 45 years, Dave, her two daughters, Kirsten (Basit) and Paige (Jamie), her grandchildren, Jameel, Jasir and Quinn, her sisters, Jeri (Ty) and Gail (Lori), her in-laws (Karen, Tom, Nancy and Pinder), her many nieces and nephews, and her friends who she loved like family. Cindy is predeceased by her parents, Jean and Gerald, sister Debbie and brother Russel.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at 2:00 pm, at Royal Roads University in the Gardens, 2005 Sooke Rd, Victoria, BC.
A scholarship will be set up in Cindy’s name and donations can be made towards the award through Royal Roads, www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/73932

Our hearts and thoughts are with you during this time of grieving. Please know that you are not alone in remembering a truly wonderful person Cindy was, she meant so much to so many.
Dave, Kirsten and Paige,
I am heartbroken to hear of Cindy’s passing. Although I haven’t seen her in many years, I think of her often. Her help with part time child care, for Jennifer and Kristina will never be forgotten, free of course as she insisted. Our days of Sparks and Brownies were amazing and always left us laughing. We used to joke about who had the brain today when we were forgetful. I truly felt so lucky and grateful to have the privilege of calling her friend. I send my love and strength to you all to help you get through this very sad time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of Cindy spending many Holidays together in Trail. Cindy and Dave also spent several days with us In Seattle for the PGA Golf tournament here. Cindy was always so full of life, offering smiles, laughter and great conversation—- she was full of kindness & fun. May you all find some peace in your grief, knowing she is with her parents, Russ & Debbie. God Bless you all, Kellyann & Kevin Padon & family ( Sylvia & Bill Robinson’s daughter & Gladys & Frank Hemmerling’s granddaughter)
My Condolences Dave, Kirsten, Paige and family. Cindy was a truly amazing human. She was always so willing to help with a smile on her face. I have fond memories of carpooling to RRU with her and Melody when we all lived so close together. Many stories and giggles were shared during those commutes. Sending you all love and strength as you move through the loss of such a special part of your lives.
