She was 35 years old. Cynthia graduated from Coeur d'Alene High School in 1986. She continued her education at the University of Idaho. Cynthia graduated from Texas Tech University in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in fashion marketing and home economics. After spending some time abroad, she chose Los Angeles as her home. In 1991, Cynthia began her career as an Argentine tango dancer, an art she described as "a dance of walking, a moment of passion, intrigue, dualism and excitement." She performed at some of the most prestigious venues in America, including the world renowned Radio City Music Hall. During that time, Cynthia appeared in a number of television series and movies, including "Red Shoe Diaries" (Another Woman's Lipstick) and "Dance With Me." Cynthia moved back to Liberty Lake in 1999 to combat her illness with the help of her parents. While living in Liberty Lake, Cynthia passed on her dancing passion to the students of her Tango class at Simply Dance Studio in Spokane. Teaching the art of Tango dancing to others brought her great joy and satisfaction in the final years of her life. She is survived by her parents, Gary and Jeannette Wraspir of Liberty Lake; sister Kali and fiance Scott, Olympia, Wash.; grandmother Helen Dashiell, Liberty Lake; several aunts and uncles; and a large number of ever-loving friends. "A unique and powerful spirit has left our lives. Those who knew Cynthia know of the strength that one soul can possess. While she is not in our sight, she will never be out of our hearts."
