Cynthia Ruth Tibbetts Wass

Frederica Sylvester and Raynold Tibbetts; step-daughter of Carl Hilton

Cynthia Tibbetts Wass was born in 1928 in Rockland to Frederica and Raynold Tibbetts. Her parents wre divorced when she was three. When Frederica married Carl Hilton she moved to the farm in Bremen where she lived until she was married. Although she was never formally adopted by Carl, she was his daughter in every other sense of the word, and it was Carl who walked her down the aisle when she married Arnold Wass in the Bremen Union Church on June 22, 1947. Cynthia and Arnold lived in Glen Cove when they were first married. Around 1954 they bought the home on Limerock Street which had belonged to her Great Aunt Clara and Great Uncle Jim Emery and where she had lived as a child and during the week when she attended Rockland High School.

Cynthia and Arnold have three sons, Dwight, Keith and Eric; four grandchildren, Jeffrey, Patrick, Jennifer and Michelle; and (so far) three great-grandchildren, Gaige, Wyatt and Rocco. They still live in their home on Limerock Street.
