Cynthia Jane Dupre

Cindy (Lopata) Dupre, born December 2, 1957, formerly of Three Rivers, MA, and most recently of Warren, MA, passed away peacefully at home on May 2, 2026. For 25 years, Cindy devoted herself to working with special needs children — a calling that defined her and reflected the kind heart she brought to everyone she met. She found deep fulfillment in her work and loved being remembered by the people whose lives she touched. Her hands were rarely still. She was a gifted crafter, painter, and stained glass artist, and she found deep joy in creating beautiful things. She loved animals — especially dogs — and they always seemed to know they had a friend in her. The ocean was one of her great loves, and she returned to it whenever she could. Holidays were her time to shine. She poured her love into making them special for the people she cherished most. Cindy was lucky to be surrounded by wonderful friends throughout her life, and she treasured every one of them. Cindy was preceded in death by her former husband, Jimmy, her father, Walter Lopata and mother Ruth (Mozar) Pierce. She is survived by her sister Linda and brother-in-law Jon McGrath; her nieces Kinsley Minella, and Ashley and her husband Alex Macielak; and her great-nephew Jack Macielak and great-nieces Britt Minella and Penny Macielak, who held a place at the very center of her world. Visitation will be Saturday, May 23 from 1pm-3pm at the Beers & Story Palmer Funeral Home with a service to begin at 3pm. Burial will follow in Four Corners Cemetery beside her father, Walter.
