As per her granddaughter, Channel Queen, Cynthia Harper died 3/6/22 from kidney failure.  She was 74.

This was my grandmother who loved and cherished me daily ! I loved living with her and hearing all the stories she said the people in this school weren't very nice to here considering she was one of the few black children in school and she made it a long way did Alot loved a lot and still kept it pushing
