Cindy Martin died Monday at Presbyterian-University Hospital, spokeswoman Lisa Rossi said. Her family, including her husband, John, were with her when she died. She had undergone a 21 1/2-hour transplant operation on Dec. 2 and 3 but subsequently contracted non-A, non-B hepatitis, which resulted in kidney failure.
