SUNNY CARNEY Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 4 to Nov. 5, 2012.

CARNEY
ALICIA "SUNNY" (JENNINGS)
Age 42, of Plum, passed peacefully on Saturday, November 3, after a courageous ten year fight battling Carcinoid Cancer. She was married to her devoted husband, Mark; and was a loving mother to Austen, Logan and Nolan Carney; daughter of Patricia Jennings and the late James J. Jennings; daughter-in-law of Dale and Dottie Carney; sister of Judy Phillips (Ray, Jr.), Lynn Pesta (Teddy), Michael Jennings (Vicki Lynn), James Jennings (Sue), Joseph Jennings (Elizabeth), Sheila Fortes (Jim); aunt of Ray Phillips III, Amy Phillips-White, the late Christie Majoy; sister-in-law of Craig Carney (Julia); she is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and was a true friend and inspiration to many. In addition to being an inspiration to family and friends, Sunny inspired carcinoid cancer patients across the globe through her blog, and then her book, "The Sunny Side of Cancer". She spoke at numerous cancer events locally sharing stories of her journey which led her from Basel, Switzerland to all of the top Carcinoid Cancer specialists here in the states. She was an advocate for better diagnosis of the disease and for insurance coverage of treatments. She fought with grace and dignity, never letting the pain inside challenge her faith or diminish her love for life. Memorials may be made to: "Carney Family Fund", c/o S&T Bank, 2190 Hulton Road, Verona, PA 15147. Friends received Monday 7-9 p.m. and Tuesday 3-8 p.m. at Unity Community Church, 215 Unity Center Road, Plum, PA 15239.

I will miss her though I never met her.She touched my life forever through her blog.We even e-mailed a couple of times.My husband passed away in January after a 5 year fight with carcinoid cancer.He used to ask me "how is Sunny doing"? It gave him hope that she had lived so long with this terrible disease.My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.You are an inspiration to all..............

November 11, 2012

She was an inspiration to alot of people. I myself have Stage IV Carcinoid cancer and reading her blogs and seeing how she chose to fight her disease gave me hope and helped me cope better with my own diagnosis. My condolences to her husband, her boys and all of her family. She helped more people than she even knew. Gods peace be with her family.

I can't stop thinking about Sunny and what an inspiration she was. I followed her blog and was always so amazed by her positivity throughout her fight with cancer.

I would first like to say how sorry I am for your loss, and that I am praying for Mark and the kids. I also want to say how inspired and encouraged I am from Sunny's blogs. I too am a Carcinoid patient (3 years), and was not handling it to well this last year, but after reading what Sunny has wrote, I am inspired to change the way I view my life with this cancer. I want to give God the Glory, be a more positive, and encouraging example for those around me, and to those I have opportunity to reach. Thank you Sunny, you have changed my life for the better, for ever.

To the Carney & Jennings Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss of Sunny. When Sunny was just a toddler her brother Joe was talking about her and said "She is MY Sunshine". A few years later her sister Sheila said something real similiar because she loved Sunny so much. The pride Joe & Sheila had in her was very obvious. I can only imagine how much prouder the entire family is of her after the inspiring and courageous life Sunny lived. I know her passing is a huge void for you all, especially for Mark & her boys. May God's newest Angel keep watch over and comfort all of you. You are all in my prayers.

As a Jennings - Sunny was family (my mother Dorothy Boyle cousin to her Dad) I last saw her at Rory Knipps baby shower, and she was so warm, and easy with people and ready to laugh. I wish I knew her better,she was as beautiful as her name. My deepest sympathy to all the family.

Walt Greene

Mark, Austen, Logan and Nolan,

Our deepest sympathies go out to you and the Jennings family for your loss. We have only known your family for a short period of time but we have learned a lifetime of lessons watching Sunny fight such a huge battle. She taught us all that there is so much more to life and it is worth fighting for regardless of the battle.

Anyone that believes the beauty is only skin deep did not have the pleasure of knowing Sunny. She inspired so many.

I began to read Sunny's blog after my daughter' s death from cancer. She wrapped me in her faith and gave me such comfort even though I did not know her. I'm sure you will never know how many lives she touched. Mark, I want you to know how your words of faith are also an inspiration. May God bless and comfort you in the months to come.

Tom Dugas

With the deepest sympathy, we lost one of the most amazing people who I likely will ever have the chance to know. From the days she was hanging out wiht my sister when I was a young boy, to when she helped me get my first professional job when she was a recruiter, to when I caught the garter at her wedding to Mark, I was fortunate to have the priviledge and honor to have had Sunny touch my life. I often told Sunny that my succes was due to the path she helped set for me but she was always quick to say that it wasn't her and I did did it because God always had a plan for all of us. I am so grateful that my wife Kara got to know her as well and saw the wonderful person that I have known all my life. I'll always know that there is another angel looking over us and that with each sunrise and sunset she is smiling at us reminding us that "it never rains on Sunshine" as Mark once told me.
