Mildred Singer Cunningham

Mildred Singer Cunningham went peacefully on Friday, October 25, 2013 at Meadow View Nursing Home. Born September 12, 1920, she was a lifetime member of Calvary Lutheran Church where she served as President of a Women’s Group, various offices of the Church Counsel, and Sunday School Teacher during her many years.

Mildred cherished the many friends she made as a member of the Crescent Hill Women’s Club where she held many different offices. During her waning days the thing she missed most was not being able to continue her bridge games and now missing the coming season of her beloved Kentucky Wildcats Basketball team.

A past President and Vice President of the Louisville Chapter National Secretaries Association, she received a Certified Professional Secretary rating in 1961. She retired from Vermont American Corporation after thirty –three years working for both Lee B. Thomas, Jr. and Lee B. Thomas.

Mildred was preceded in death by Orville Cunningham, her husband of fifty-nine years, and Mary Lee Payne, her daughter.

She is survived by her son, Lawrence (Larry), her daughter-in-law, Linda, and a son-in-law Hudson Payne. She leaves behind grandchildren, Thomas Payne of Knoxville, Tennessee, and John Cunningham and Diana George of McKinney, Texas, Sara George, a great granddaughter, and William Payne, a great grandson. She is also fondly remembered by many stepchildren, and step great grandchildren.
