Cynthia Lin
Cynthia Gibson Lin, 40, of Hopkinton passed away on July 1, 2026, at Mass General Hospital in Boston. Born in Hong Kong, she was the cherished daughter of Martina (Law) and Brian Tong of Natick. She was the beloved wife of Terry Lin of Hopkinton.
Cyndi was a graduate of Natick High School and later earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Maine. She had a creative spirit and enjoyed home improvement projects, painting and gardening. Cyndi was kind, caring and hard-working, and she put her creativity to work through an e-commerce business she built. She was the light of the party and had a natural way of uplifting those around her. She loved living in Hopkinton and was deeply grateful for the dear friends she met in town. More than anything, Cyndi was a devoted mother to her children. They were the center of her world and greatest pride and joy.
In addition to her husband, Cyndi is survived by four children, Kyle Gibson and Kelsey, Cameron and Samantha Lin. She also leaves behind her sister, Natalie Shapiro and husband Derek of South Carolina, and their son, Jacob; as well as her in-laws, Shang and Hillary Lin of Framingham.
Private services are being held at Chesmore Funeral Home of Hopkinton. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the GoFundMe fundraiser that will support an education fund for her children.
