Carolyn Cunningham, age 81, of Linton, went home to her Savior at her home at 7:23 am on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born in Linton, IN on April 11, 1944, the daughter of Leon L. Dailey & Dorothy (Houchin) Barnaby.
She attended Saron United Church of Christ. She was a homemaker her entire life and always welcomed anyone and everyone into her home. She treated everyone as if they were her family and nobody ever left her house hungry or in need of anything. She loved playing cards, working puzzles, crocheting and spending time with her family. She could always be found sitting on the front porch sipping RC Cola and watching the neighborhood.
