Cynthia Herma Froehlich (Cindy to her family and friends) was born on May 16, 1957 in Princeton, New Jersey, of Fred and Gloria Froehlich. Growing up, she was a funny, amicable, studious, and free-spirit girl and young lady. After completing her elementary, secondary, and high school education in her native Princeton, she did her undergraduate studies at Indiana University, Bloomington. She went on to pursue her graduate education in Political Science on full scholarship at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In 1986, she travelled to Guinea, West Africa, on a Fulbright scholarship for her graduate research. She was the first American Fulbright scholar to conduct research in that country for decades. It was then that she met Mohamed Saliou Camara (Saliou to his family and friends) who was coming to pursue his graduate education in the United States, also on a Fulbright scholarship. Cindy and Saliou became the love of each other’s life and tied the knot on July 30, 1989. Always consistent with her spirit of self-empowerment and drive for well-deserved success, Cindy built her Association Management business, Froehlich Associates, Inc., and served as the Executive Director of several medical associations. Over the years, these included the International Society of Dermatology, the American Contact Dermatitis Society, and the Council for Nail Disorders. Her successful business and healthy love for adventure and discovery took her around the world: from France and Germany to Austria and the Czech Republic; from Canada and Britain to Argentina and Brazil; from South Africa and South Korea to the Philippines and India. Whether in her family, among friends, at work and in other social circles (such as the Flagler University Women and similar community organizations), Cindy was a loving, caring, and compassionate lady. Cindy passed away in Maryland on May 5, 2021, eleven days shy of her 64th birthday, in a traffic accident. She is survived by her loving husband of 32 years Saliou, her brothers David and Chris, her nieces Lisa and Katherine, her nephew Jack, her sisters-in-law Susan and Yvonne, her best friend Claire Walton, and a large extended family both in the United States and in Guinea. She will be missed for her enlivening personality, uplifting smile, and gracious hearth. REST IN PEACE CINDY, WE LOVE YOU!
