It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cindy Murton Hughes. Cindy, beloved wife, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 9th in Newcastle, Ontario, surrounded by the love of her family, following a brief battle with cancer.

Born on October 23, 1958, in London, Ontario, Cindy enjoyed her childhood and teen years in Tottenham, where she formed lifelong memories.

As a young woman, she embraced the excitement of city life, moving to Toronto to experience urban living and to work in the heart of downtown. She later made her home in Oshawa, where she built a life filled with love and companionship with her husband, Jerry Hughes.

Cindy was the cherished daughter of Jim (Norm) Murton and Verna Murton (predeceased). She will be deeply missed by her sisters, Cathy (Pete Eisener) and Christine (David Shorey), and their families.

Throughout her life, Cindy enjoyed a variety of careers at OLG, Buss Marketing, and ultimately found her place in internal broadcasting at General Motors, where she was known for her dedication, creativity, and warm presence.

Cindy will be remembered for her kindness, her sense of humour, and her ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved her.

A private family gathering will take place. Donations to Marigold Hospice in Newcastle or your local hospice are welcome.

Hugh Gordon Rolph passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of quiet strength, deep kindness, and a life grounded in the simple pleasures he held dear.
Born in King City, Ontario, on May 22, 1938, Hugh was the son of Mary and Ernest and the younger brother of Anthony. From a young age, he attended St. Andrew’s College, where he formed lifelong friendships with Peter Ketchum, Dem Rogers, John Shearson, Hugh Coulson, Mike McMurrich and others. These bonds would remain an important part of his life for decades to come.
Hugh married Jean Anne Ellis on August 28, 1970. Together, they built a life centred around their home “Maple Hill” on a rolling green landscape just outside Tottenham, Ontario. They nourished and cherished this property for over 50 years. It was here they raised their family and created a place filled with love, warmth, tradition and lasting memories.
He was a devoted father to Sandra Gale, Malinda Robin, and their late sister Sheila, who passed away as an infant. Hugh was also a proud father-in-law to Tim Griffis and Kolt Luty, and a deeply loved grandfather to Eli Rolph Griffis, Maple McKenzie Griffis, Rush Danger John Luty, and Holiday Rebel Betsy Luty.
A tall and stately presence, Hugh was known for his quiet nature and gentle kindness. He found joy not in grand gestures, but in the rhythm of everyday life. He could often be found sitting on the deck at Maple Hill, looking out over the land he and Anne had built together, watching the sunset with a stogie in hand and a glass of his favourite Scotch nearby.
Hugh dedicated many years of his professional life as an owner and partner alongside Jack Howard at Plastic and Paper Sales Limited, where he was respected for his integrity and the strong relationships he built.
Outside of work, he treasured time spent outdoors. Every weekend at Maple Hill, Hugh could be found within arm’s reach of his red Massey Ferguson tractor whether it was snow plowing, cutting grass, tending to the vegetable gardens, or simply pottering around the property. He was rarely far from it, and over the years it was as constant and dependable as he was.
Each autumn, he looked forward to hunting trips with his old St. Andrew’s friends, continuing a tradition that spanned a lifetime. Summers were often spent at Pointe-au-Barrel, at the cottage of his dear friend Peter Ketchum. And, of course, the New Year’s bonfire. This was a place filled with family, fishing, blueberry picking, and some of his happiest memories.
Family traditions, such as collecting maple sap, were important to Hugh which was why he diligently tapped and tended the trees each spring in the old fashioned way. The scent of maple syrup boiling in the bush became one of the many small, enduring details that defined him and a reminder of his connection to the land and to the life he built.
Though distance took his daughters far from home in later years, the love within the family remained constant and strong.
Hugh will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He will be deeply missed.
The family will receive friends at Rod Abrams Funeral Home, 1666 Tottenham Rd., Tottenham (905-936-3477), on Saturday, May 2, with visitation from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the funeral service in the chapel at 11:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Hugh may be made to St. Andrew’s College or to the charity of your choice.
