Lisa Marie Cunningham

Lisa-Lisa, Our beautiful Mother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Cousin and friend passed away Wednesday, November 06, 2024 at Cottage Hospital after a brief illness with her loving and adoring family by her side. Lisa was born and raised in Santa Barbara and attended Franklin and Monroe Elementary school, La Cumbre Jr. High and Santa Barbara High School. She worked for St. Francis Hospital, Cottage hospital, Lemos Feed and Pet Supply and Santa Barbara School District. She enjoyed her work but the job she revered and held the most pride in was being a wife and Mother. She is survived by her loving husband of 35 years Patrick Cunningham, her sons Mitchell Cunningham (Andrea Godinez), and Cameron Cunningham. She was soon to be a grandma next year, a job she most surely would have been amazing at. She's also survived by her sisters Loretta Lopez (Stevan) Carmelita Lopez and brothers Arthur Lopez Jr., and Reynaldo Lopez (Iris). She is predeceased by her father Arthur T. Lopez and mother Norma May Lopez. Her biggest joy in her life was raising her sons Mitchell and Cameron and being a baseball Mom. She was a seamstress and made many costumes and outfits affectionately for her kids, sisters and nephews, nieces, friends. She was a beautiful soul and a light to us all. She had a fierce spirit, quick wit and a smile that could light up any room. Her courage and strength were to be admired. She was someone we all looked up to and to say she's going to be missed doesn't even halfway describe the immense loss we all feel without her, only matched by the love she shared and gave to us all.
Funeral service for Our beautiful Lisa will be Thursday November 14th @ 6pm at Welch, Ryce, Haider 15 E. Sola St., Santa Barbara. Celebration of Life Saturday 12pm At Mulligan's Cafe 3500 Mc Caw Avenue, Santa Barbara.
