Aimee Concepcion was born on September 28th, 1975, in the Winchester Hospital in Massachusetts. She was raised by two loving and nurturing parents, Alfredo and Zenaida Concepcion. Aimee grew up as the middle child of three. She is survived by her older brother Allan, and a younger brother James.
Being an avid reader with a lust for academic excellence, Aimee graduated high in her high school class of 1993 at Marian High School. With initial hopes of earning a business or accounting degree, she graduated from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania with a Biology degree in 1997. After a few years of life experience as a pharmacy technician and then a dental assistant, she applied and graduated from the University of New Haven, CT, in 2002 with a degree in dental hygiene. She married the love of her life, Brad Cunningham, in the Boston Cathedral on August 9th, 2003. At the same time, she followed her passion for dentistry at the illustrious Tufts University Dental School, Boston MA, in 2002. With the desire to serve her country, she volunteered in the Regular Army and commissioned as an Army Lieutenant in 2003 through the highly competitive Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP). Just as planned, she delivered her first child, Oliver Maxwell Cunningham, on October 9th, 2005, in the middle of medical school. After graduating from Tufts with a Degree in Medical Dentistry (DMD) in 2006, Dr. Cunningham earned the rank of Captain and was selected for the prestigious 1-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency at FT Benning GA in 2007. Aimee and Brad grew their family with the birth of Isabella Avery Cunningham on June 25th, 2010, and Auby Alexa Cunningham on March 17th, 2012. CPT Cunningham spent the next several years serving the FT Stewart 3rd Infantry Division, and then as a civilian DOD dentist at FT Bliss, TX, Camp Lejeune, NC, and then finally Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach, VA. Her military awards include the Army Service Ribbon, the Global War on Terror Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, two Army Achievement Medals and one Army Commendation Medal. Soon after the beginning of COVID-19, she found a lump in her chest and was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. After 6 years of many chemotherapies, radiation, and surgeries, Aimee's body succumbed to the cancer, but her bright uplifting spirit lives on within the thousands of patients she treated, her numerous Tito's and Tita's, cousins, and immediate family and friends. Aimee passed on February 2nd, 2026.
