Nancy Rinando Cunningham

Nancy Rinando Cunningham, age 83, of Beaumont, Texas, passed on to her eternal rest on October 12, 2024, at Brookdale Memory Care in Pearland, Texas. Born May 5,1941, she was the 3rd child and only daughter of Concetta and Joesph Samuel Rinando, Sr.
She graduated from St Anthony High School. She then attended Lamar University for a year until becoming employed at Gulf States Utilities. Shortly after beginning work there, the empty desk next to her would be occupied by a new employee named Ronald, who would soon become her husband. Nancy and Ron were married November 3, 1963.
Nancy stayed home to raise their 2 children until going back to work for Beaumont ISD, where she met wonderful friends.
She loved spending time with family and friends, going out to eat and to movies- always with plenty of popcorn and a coke! She was a fun and adventurous Mim and loved her time with her grandkids especially on the annual trips to the beach and when each would get their own week at Camp Cunningham.
She and Ron enjoyed traveling the world together with friends. Some of her favorite trips were to Alaska, Italy, Hawaii and Israel.
Nancy is survived by her husband, Ronald Cunningham; daughter Vicki (Kevin) McGovern; grandsons, Cade (Sarah) McGovern, Ryan McGovern and Jace McGovern; daughter-in-law, Heather Cunningham Brown; and beloved nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Concetta and Joseph Rinando. Sr; brothers, Vincent Rinando, Frank Rinando, Joseph Rinando, Jr.; and her son, Darrell Cunningham.
Nancy was a loving and devoted wife, mother and Mim. Her generous heart, sarcastic wit and contagious laughter will be so missed and treasured. We are so thankful for the gift of her life and the love she gave us.
