Cindy Lee Brar was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She left this world suddenly on July 11, 2022.
Born to Jean and Gerald Fullerton on October 5, 1957 in Trail, BC. After graduating high school, Cindy moved to Victoria to attend university and a short two years later met Dave. Her and Dave married in 1983 and together had two children: Kirsten and Paige.
Cindy was an incredibly loving and caring person. She loved to welcome people into her home for meals and games, cards, mahjong, dice and more. You could always find Cindy speed reading a good book and she was a quiet poet and artist. Cindy loved a good adventure, traveling and exploring with Dave and friends. She was an avid golfer and curler, enjoying playing both but she really loved the community aspect of the games. She was always getting involved in tournaments, all the social events, and serving on the various boards and committees.
Cindy was a fabulous student, completing numerous degrees and certificates. She was passionate about all kinds of education and a lifelong learner. Cindy was always looking at what she could learn next, a new skill was never far outside of her reach. She began working at Royal Roads on the project team to establish the University and later served on the board of governors. After 25 years of working at RRU she retired in 2020 but her love of the university kept her coming back and she continued to work at RRU until this June.
She will be greatly missed by the love of her life for over 45 years, Dave, her two daughters, Kirsten (Basit) and Paige (Jamie), her grandchildren, Jameel, Jasir and Quinn, her sisters, Jeri (Ty) and Gail (Lori), her in-laws (Karen, Tom, Nancy and Pinder), her many nieces and nephews, and her friends who she loved like family. Cindy is predeceased by her parents, Jean and Gerald, sister Debbie and brother Russel.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at 2:00 pm, at Royal Roads University in the Gardens, 2005 Sooke Rd, Victoria, BC.
A scholarship will be set up in Cindy’s name and donations can be made towards the award through Royal Roads, www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/73932

Sending your family peace and strength.

Douglas Brown It was a true pleasure to work for/with Cindy. She was one of the “Cindys” that you knew you could go to when you had any question about the university because her knowledge was extensive.

My love goes out to her family at this difficult time.

We have many fond memories of those days hanging out with you and Cindy. She was super positive, lots of fun to be with and will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to get to know her.

I considered Cindy a good friend and will miss her laugh and smile.

Achal When we visited Victoria in December 2021, Cindy opened her house to invite us. Though we had heard about each other but had never met. Some people leave a lasting impression within the first few minutes of interaction. We had delicious food and more importantly, wonderful three-hour interaction with Cindy, Dave, and the rest of the family. Who knew that this would be our first and the last meeting with Cindy! She was caring, involved, and kind of a person who goes the extra mile. We can’t express our shock and disbelief on Cindy’s untimely passing. May God give strength to Dave and the rest of the family to bear this huge loss. Our heartfelt condolences. Om Shanti.

Kenneth Christie I was so saddened and shocked to hear of Cindy’s passing while I’m on travel/research in Europe.

My condolences to her family, Dave, Kirsten, Paige, and all extended family. Take comfort in the great memories you and others have of her and her life.Ken Christie

Jim abnd Mavis Bayer Deepest condolences to Dave and the entire Brar family. The shock, disbelief, and sense of loss at Cindy’s sudden passing has been immense. Cindy’s blend of so many special qualities and abilities made her a very unique and exceptional person. Enthusiastic, witty, principled, and a person of strong conviction, her willingness to speak truth to power was legendary. So too was her willingness to help others, her kindness and generosity, her sense of humour, and her disdain for pomposity. Never without a laugh or a smile and a positive word, she will be remembered as a special colleague and friend.

I hope that in time, warm memories will bring some comfort you and your families.

Tracy Laramee I had the honour of working with Cindy at Royal Roads several years ago, and I have many fond memories of our time there together. She was an incredibly resourceful, kind, fair person with such a quick wit and welcoming nature. Her laugh is one I will never forget. The last time I ran into her was three years ago, where we had such a lovely catch-up on our lives… which now I realize was a gift. I know how dearly she will be missed in all her circles, and especially by her dear family who she loved so much. Cindy was a beautiful force. My love and thoughts are with you all.

I will miss her sense of humour and her great smile and her stories about those she loved the most: her family.

I worked with Cindy almost every day for 15 years, and I can’t think of Royal Roads as not having Cindy there.

She lived a life full of love and compassion and dedication, and she remain with us in our hearts and minds. My sincere condolences at this sad and difficult time.

Roberta Mason Dave, Kirsten, and Paige – thank you for sharing Cindy with me through her many key roles at Royal Roads. She was such a joy! She touched thousands of students’ lives in positive ways over her many years with the university, and hundreds of other university community members, like me, thought of her as their positive, can-do, problem-solving, make-a-difference friend and colleague too. Wishing you and your family solace in happy memories, and though the world is a poorer place without her, her energy lives on in all of those people she touched during her time with us.

Nicole Beazley Dave, Kirsten, Paige and family,
Just a couple of weeks ago, Cindy invited Jim Bayer and myself for lunch to celebrate my retirement, and we had so much fun reminiscing together about the Dean’s office. Now I am at loss for words for such a sudden great loss. I worked with Cindy over a decade in the Dean’s office and I was always amazed with her wits and wisdom, and how she would always take the time to selflessly help anyone. She had a great sense of humor and we shared so many laughs together. My heart is heavy, and I will miss her dearly. I am sending you love, and my sincere condolences. May you find comfort knowing that she will be remembered and loved by so many.

I am heartbroken to hear of Cindy’s passing. Although I haven’t seen her in many years, I think of her often. Her help with part time child care, for Jennifer and Kristina will never be forgotten, free of course as she insisted. Our days of Sparks and Brownies were amazing and always left us laughing. We used to joke about who had the brain today when we were forgetful. I truly felt so lucky and grateful to have the privilege of calling her friend. I send my love and strength to you all to help you get through this very sad time.

Mehgan Cabrera Dave, Kirsten, Paige and family-
Cindy is someone who’s legacy will live on through so many of us at RRU who have worked with, been trained by, or simply had the fortune to cross paths with Cindy. I can think of numerous occasions where her joyful laugh would lift spirits, and change perspectives. Cindy’s gift of time was to short for all that she radiates. My heart goes out to each of you as you pull together as a family to continue to magnify her love for you in your roads ahead. I am and will always be in awe of Cindy’s ability to see the bright side of everything and I can only hope she can help us all do the same as strive to live the life she would have us. From volunteering me to join her on the Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors committee, to travelling together across Canada to recruit students, my days were always lifted when Ci day was around. I feel honoured to have known her and to have been the benefactor of her kindness and organization.
Cindy made RRU her second family, and we sure want to be with you to mourn and celebrate her incredible love and legacy. Thinking of each of you daily and sending you warm hugs of healing at this time.
