Pop loved to work and enjoyed any job he could find to do outside. From laying bricks to building houses and roads in his early years, to his favorite work, farming. Pop was the happiest running a dozer or disking a field or rolling hay. For 50 years, his beloved Mammie plowed & planted & combined right beside him every acre. In October 2014, Mammie went home to be with the Lord & she took the joy of his work with her. On June 1, 2020, we rejoice as a family knowing he went from a soybean field in land between the lakes to his new home in Heaven.
As a request of the family and restrictions due to the Covid -19, the Cunningham family will have a private graveside service in the Ledbetter Baptist Church Cemetery with Bro. Kory Cunningham and Michael Williams officiating.
