Cynthia Bahaw-Ganpat

Cynthia Bahaw-Ganpat, passed away on June 23, 2025 in Livingston, New Jersey at the age of 57.

Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Cynthia's journey of life was as vibrant and beautiful as the land she hailed from. In 1984 she emigrated to Queens, New York and for the last 28 years, she made the City of Orange, New Jersey her home, weaving a tapestry of love and community that reached far beyond the city's boundaries.

Cynthia was a dedicated and compassionate person in everything she did. She was not only a professional in her field but a friend to those who knew her which is a testament to her loving nature. As Maya Angelou beautifully said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Cynthia embodied this quote, leaving an irreplaceable mark on the hearts of all who knew her.

Cynthia's loving spirit extended to her family, providing support and guidance in every step of their lives. She is survived by her devoted husband, Ricky Ganpat; their caring son, Damien Ganpat; her supportive sister, Gillian Coriano; and her dependable mother Indra Bahaw.

Each of them was cherished, loved, and deeply influenced by Cynthia's kindness and strength.

Visiting for Cynthia will be held on Monday, June 30, 2025 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm in the Prout Funeral Home, 370 Bloomfield Avenue, Verona, New Jersey, 07044.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered in Our Lady of Lourdes Church, One Eagle Rock Avenue, West Orange, New Jersey on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 at 11:00 am.

So we welcome all to come and celebrate her life not in sorrow but in the joy and love she shared with everyone filled with laughter, joy and smiles.
