Lou Ann Cunningham, 71 of Paw Paw, WV, passed away on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, at her home, surrounded by her loving family.
Lou Ann was born on December 25, 1952, in Buffalo, NY, the daughter of the late Edgar and Doris May.
She was an excellent basket weaver and dedicated years to honing her craft. Her legacy of basketry will live on in the homes of everyone she ever gifted a basket to. Lou Ann loved her hometown of Buffalo, her Bills team, and Lake Erie, never missing a chance to visit. She especially enjoyed camping, her dogs, eagles, Peter Pan, elephants, and Halloween.
Lou Ann will be remembered for her enduring faith in her savior, Jesus Christ, and her willingness to adopt, and love, anyone as family.
She is survived by her husband of over 34 years, Roger Cunningham; her children, Sara Stevenson (Guy), Gerald “Jerry” Andrews (Jodi), and “daughter-in-love” Katharine Cunningham; as well as 14 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
Along with her parents, Lou Ann is preceded in death by her son, John Cunningham, grandson, Kimber Cunningham and brother, Jerry May.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
