Carley Cunniff Obituary

CUNNIFF-Carley. With the passing of Carley Cunniff, Swarthmore College has lost a distinguished graduate, a treasured member of its Board of Managers, and a dear friend. Carley's brilliant acuity and subtlety of mind, her wise appreciation for long-term consequence, her courage, her extraordinary personal warmth, and her important financial support have been vital ingredients in sustaining the distinctive quality of her alma mater, which she so admired and loved. The College's President, his wife, its Investment Committee, and Board of Managers join with the broader Swarthmore community in expressing to Andy, her husband, and to her family, our deep affection for a remarkable individual and a valued colleague in commitment to excellence in undergraduate education. Alfred H. Bloom, President Swarthmore College

I am from the Swarthmore Class of 1972. The notice of Carley's death spread on our Class of 1972 list serve this weekend. We are very sad to have lost Carley. Everyone remembers her remarkable beauty .... beauty in every way. It seems impossible that she is gone. She will be remembered and missed.

I was a suitemate of Carley's at Harvard Business School. As much as her beauty and intelligence, I remember her kindness, then and all the years after. It was a privilege to have known her. My prayers go out to Andy and the rest of her family.

I was lucky to have known Carly since Harvard Business School in the mid 70s and have such fond memories of working with her as Co-Chair of the Women's Gift for our 25th Reunion. She helped make it a spectacular success. She will be missed so very much. My heart goes out to Andy and her family.
