Donald Cunningham Obituary

Cunningham, Donald

Donald Louis Cunningham, 90, passed away on December 29, 2023. Loving son of the late William and Florence (Reis). Beloved husband of Mary Cunningham of 60 years.

After 24 years of working in sales for two dairy companies, he made the decision to pursue his passion for horticulture and the outdoors by starting Cunningham and Sons Lawn & Landscaping. He served his country in the Army and is a US Army Veteran. Don enjoyed music, old movies, history, and anything that would make him laugh. His greatest joy, however, came from spending time with his devoted family who he cherished deeply.
