Vaughn Jr. (Angela) of Maryland; a devoted sister, Helen Winston (Herbert) of Petersburg, Va.; 11 grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and devoted church family., While raising a family, Mother Cunningham decided to pursue a career in nursing. After successfully passing courses and the State Board of Nursing Exam in 1971, she received her LPN license. Mother Cunningham remained in nursing until her retirement from the Southside Virginia Training Center (SVTC). During her employment at Southside, she received the honor of being named "Nurse of the Year" for three consecutive years, until that award process was discontinued., Mother Cunningham taught her children many things in life but one thing she consistently taught and demonstrated was to put God first in whatever you do and what ever their endeavor, do it to the best of your ability., The seed of love for Jesus was planted early in her life and continued to grow as her faith was nourished through church participation. She sang in the church junior and senior choirs for a total of 30-plus years, served as secretary, and served on various other church organizations committees., Mother Cunningham is the widow of the late Rev. Dr. James Cunningham. She made the decision to join The Lord's Baptist Church in the mid-1990s under the pastorship of the Rev. Dr. Donald R. Johnson Sr. and the Rev. Dr. Howard L. Moses Sr. Through her membership at The Lord's Baptist Church, she has been spiritually filled with the truth of the word which is being delivered by pastors who teach spiritual truth. Mother Cunningham also serves on several committees at The Lord's Church. Besides being called the "Mother of the Church," she was chair of the church beautification committee, served as deaconess, member of the Women's Choir and Mass Choir, co-chair of Women's Working Leaders group, Sunday School teacher for the Adult Class, led several Wednesday prayer and Bible study teachings, and she attended the Frederick R. Ray Institute, a Biblical school., One of her favorite gospel hymns, "Falling in Love with Jesus," truly represents her personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and the words strengthen her soul. Psalm 100, verse 1-2: "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with singing." Mother Cunningham will sing in the Lord's presence forever., Funeral services will be conducted noon Monday at the Chapel of the J.M. Wilkerson Funeral Establishment Inc.; the Rev.

CORNELL-BOWEN Michelle (Shelly) Cornell-Bowen On November 25, 2009 it will have been 4 years since Shelly passed. Not a day goes by that we are not reminded of her beauty, intellect and unconquerable spirit. She lived life as few of us could ever aspire. Though hard to put into words, Mark Twain's quotation comes closest, " Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth." There are few moments in life that allow you to feel heaven on earth, but when my mind wonders to thoughts of Shelly it has to feel something like that Love Your Family |
