Birthday Shout-out March 31st*

Cynthia (Cindy) L. (FleuryMassaro, is having a birthday today. Cindy is the daughter of the late Barbara H. Riley (1927-2015) and Richard B. Fleury (1928-1992) and the granddaughter of the late Patrick J. Riley (1900-1985) and Margaret Cecelia McSally (1900-1938).

On Cindy’s paternal side, we can trace her Fleury heritage all the way back to her 9th great-grandparent, Simon Fleury, who was born in 1610. Simon lived just outside Paris in a farming area named Nanterre, Hauts-de-Seine.

Happy Birthday, Cindy! Keep feeding the chickens.
