Cindy Stowell passed away at age 41from Stage 4 colon cancer on Dec. 5, just over a week before the series of episodes she filmed prior to her death made it to air. After six consecutive wins, Stowell plays her last round of the Alex Trebek-hosted game show in an episode broadcasting tonight, surely a memorable event for the woman's friends and family.
As the end of her Jeopardy! journey came to a close, Cindy's winnings totaled $103,803, all of which she pledged to donate to the Cancer Research Institute.

Wow. I’ve been watching and I don’t think she let on that she was sick (though I haven’t watched tonight’s). I was happy to think she’d be in the Tournament of Champions after her fifth win. She seemed like a nice lady.
God bless her and keep her.
I feel like a total jagoff for commenting on her appearance tonight. When Alex made that announcement after the show it was a dagger right through the heart.
That video did something to my screen. It’s all blurry now.
Wow. What a selfless, classy woman. She’s earned her eternal rest.
My Wife passed away in 2007 from Leukemia and this lady had that same look.
May she Rest In Peace

Watching her episodes I didn’t realize she was I’ll at first until I saw an article on FB. I must say the tribute video is very well done.
Wow, just wow!
You’re not alone.
You’re not alone. Most of us on occasion make an unfair evaluation based on a first impression. We all learned something important from this wonderful woman.
I did the same thing.
Mea Culpa.
