BOWDOINHAM — To help one of their own, local first responder agencies are hosting a benefit Saturday to support the MacMaster family.
A baked bean supper will take place from 4-7 p.m. Saturday at the Bowdoinham Fire Department, located at 57 Post Road — rain, snow or shine. There will be beans, casseroles, desserts and more. Cost is by donation.
Two years ago, Cyndi Stinchfield MacMaster battled cervical cancer and, with chemotherapy and radiation treatments, she was able to overcome the disease. In November 2014, however, the cancer returned and, the next month, claimed the life of the 36-year-old wife and mother of three. Cyndi, the wife of Richmond Police Chief Scott MacMaster, died early in the morning on Dec. 19, with her husband at her bedside.
Cyndi had no life insurance so proceeds from the benefit will help Scott with medical and funeral bills. Funds raised since news of Cyndi’s battle spread across the community, has allowed Scott to start college funds for the couple’s three sons and let the family focus on their time together in Cyndi’s final days.
Those contributing a casserole are asked to have them in an aluminum foil dish and drop them off at the Bowdoinham Fire Department on Saturday by 2:30 p.m.
