Cynthia Shanahan

Cynthia “Cindy” Shanahan (Tonsor), 76, who had been living in Belleville, Illinois passed away on Saturday January 25th 2025 in St. Louis Missouri.

Cindy was the public face of many businesses in the Metro area, having worked as a clerk and salesperson. She was also a very talented artist and worked in everything from paint to fiber arts and sewing.

With a flair for decorating, no matter where she lived, it was made special with her finishing touches and filled with the aromas of her fine cooking.

Cindy left behind a large array of family and friends who will miss her greatly, including: Son, Steve Barnett (Collinsville), Sister, Claudia Tonsor (St. Louis), Niece, Tara (Kansas City) Brother Glenn Tonsor (Granite City), and Former Husband Mark Barnett (New Mexico). She also leaves behind, a dear friend, Terry (Belleville), and her cat.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband John Steven Shanahan, her parents Lois “Skippy” Tonsor (Skinner) , Glenn ” K.O.” Tonsor, as well as many beloved grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and animal companions – some of whom left us far too soon.

The family would like to especially thank BJC Hospital for their care and kindness during Cindy’s stay with them.

No public memorial service is planned at this time. Cindy will be cremated, as to her wish.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to: Metro East Humane Society, 8495 IL-143 Edwardsville, IL 62025.
