Breezin’ Up Manager Cyndy Carr Sidorowicz Dies at 50

Cynthia Carr Sidorowicz, of Southampton, died of pancreatic cancer at her home Saturday with her beloved husband by her side. She was 50 years old.

She was born in Philadelphia, Penn., on Oct. 8, 1961 to Barbara Ciocco and Thomas E. Carr. She attended Good Shepherd Catholic School and later moved to the Long Beach Island, N.J., area. She graduated 1979 from Southern Regional High School in Manahawkin, N.J.

Sidorowicz’s retail career started with . She opened numerous Breezin’ Up stores along the East Coast from Key West to Nantucket. She eventually settled in Southampton, where she became a familiar face for more than 20 years as the manager of both and Southampton stores. She will be missed in both the village of Southampton and East Hampton.

Her heart and soul was Breezin’ Up.

Sidorowicz remained true to her Philadelphia roots as avid Eagles, Phillies and Flyers fan. She was kind, generous, quick to laugh and will be remembered for her upbeat personality and great sense of humor. The beach was her favorite place to be.

She had such a rich life. She showed so many people that greatness comes from who we are rather than what we have — what we give rather than what we get. We are all so lucky for her gift.

She is survived by her husband, Joseph Sidorowicz, her mother, Barbara Ciocco, and her brother, Thomas Carr Jr.

Breezin’ Up will be launching a line of clothing dedicated in Sidorowicz’s memory for which the proceeds will go to various charities for the research of pancreatic cancer. All Breezin’ Up stores across the East Coast will carry this special line of clothing starting this spring.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to East End Hospice.

A funeral mass will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 3, at on Hill Street in Southampton.
