In Memoriam

Cynthia Leung

(1959-2019)

We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of our colleague and friend, Cynthia Leung. Cynthia joined the Museum staff in 2013 as the Visitor Services and Volunteer Coordinator. Over the years, she took on additional responsibilities as the Community Outreach Coordinator and Director of Public Programs and Tours. During her time at the Museum, she grew the volunteer base, launched the Art4Kids and Youth+Art programs, presented countless fascinating public programs, coordinated the Día de los Muertos exhibition, and much more. For many, their introduction to the Museum was through Cynthia. Whether she was recruiting and training volunteers, partnering with local community groups, or appearing in an interview, she was often the face of the organization.

With her kind spirit and caring nature, she frequently went above and beyond her professional duties, assisting interns and volunteers as they planned for college, baking delicious treats for her colleagues, and sharing fresh fruits and vegetables from her exceptional garden. Above all, she adored her family. We offer our deepest condolences to Matthew, Emma, and Malia. Cynthia’s professional achievements, boundless generosity, and endearing friendship will not be forgotten. She was loved by the community and will be greatly missed.
