I was saddened to hear about the death of Cynthia McQuillin. Cynthia died peacefully in her sleep yesterday morning at Kaiser Hospital in Hayward. The cause of death was renal and respiratory failure.

Cynthia McQuillin has long been a well-known name in filking circles. Part of the filking community since the early 1970s, Cynthia wrote more than 1,000 songs, 300 of which have been published in tape and CD collections as well as songbooks. She was inducted into the Filk Hall of Fame in 1998.

Her death is a blow to the filking community, and she will be deeply missed.

Please do read Allison's post on the topic.
