Cynthia Kay Basulto

Our Beloved Mother Cynthia Kay Basulto sadly passed away on October 6, 2022, at the young age of 56 years old. She was the only child of Robert Lloyd Simmons and Elsie Alberta Simmons born on March 6, 1966 in Washington D.C. Cyndi grew up in many areas of the country that included the states of Maryland, Florida, Michigan, and Southern California. She graduated from Mason Highschool in Mason, Michigan. In 1985, she met the love of her life, David John Basulto while living in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. She graduated from the Newberry School of Beauty in Granada Hills, California and became a Cosmetologist in 1989. Cyndi and David were married in 1991 in Sylmar, Ca at St. Didacus Catholic Church and she officially became a stepmom to Yvonne and Lil. David. In 1992, she gave birth to her daughter Kelsy and in 1994 she gave birth to her son Derek. Cyndi, David, and their children moved to the state of Maryland in 1996 and have resided in Charlotte Hall ever since. She started working at Cuttin Loose Salon in Dentsville, MD shortly after and eventually became the owner for over 20 years. She was a dedicated wife, mother and stepmother, grandmother, nina/godmother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend who was always there when we needed her. She had many friends and was a beloved member of the Dentsville, La Plata, and Charlotte Hall communities in southern Maryland. Cyndi’s favorite place was any sunny beach. She spent many days on the beaches of Southern California-Santa Monica, Malibu, Zuma, and most of all South Laguna Beach. She loved the East Coast beaches at Ocean City and Avon, North Carolina in the Outerbanks. She loved hanging and laying out around her pool at home during the summer. She loved water/snow skiing and was a strong swimmer. She also loved to dance! Most of all, she loved spending time with her family and friends. She especially loved and adored her two grandbabies Robert and Jacob. They became her world next to her husband, David. Becoming a grandma was her proudest moment. She loved doing hair and serving the local community at her hair salon. She befriended every soul who walked into her beauty shop. She will be greatly missed and will continue to live on in our greatest memories. She became a parishioner of St. Mary’s Newport Catholic Church where a garden has been placed in remembrance of her. God Bless her loving and caring heart. May we find comfort knowing that she is at home with the Lord. Cyndi was predeceased by her parents and oldest brother Ingwal Olia Olson Jr. AKA “Skip”.
