Cynthia Tarbell Pacharz

Born in Bennington, Vermont in 1953 to Roberta Brewster and Edward Tarbell, she was a graduate of Burr and Burton Academy, Manchester, and University of Vermont, Burlington.

She was a longtime resident of Saranac Lake, serving her community as a dental hygienist at Tri-Lakes Center For Dentistry for over 40 years. Cynthia enjoyed spending her winters skiing at Whiteface and summers paddling the rivers and lakes of the Adirondacks with her many adventure friends.
