Cynthia Marie Anderson

Born on May 20, 1968 in Massachusetts, Cindy was the firstborn child of Robert and Kathleen Keeman. She was excited to welcome a little brother Robert three years later. Cindy grew up in the community of Sudbury, MA, with her grandparents next door and many family members living nearby.

In her early years, Cindy developed a lifelong love of animals and a passion for reading. She was on the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School indoor and outdoor track teams and competed in the state championship. After graduation from Lincoln-Sudbury, she attended Villanova University, graduating in 1990 with a bachelor of science in accounting.

After college, Cindy worked as a CPA at KPMG in Boston. She continued her accounting work for the last 22 years at Ciena Corporation, where she was a Senior Director.

In 1999, she married Ted Anderson and moved to Annapolis a year later. Together they raised their two children, Katie, 16 and Matthew, 13, in the family-friendly Annapolis community she so loved. Her children were the love of her life and she was a devoted mother to them.
