Georgia L. Cunningham

Mother Georgia Louise Cunningham, our beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, aunt and cousin was born on July 16, 1934 to the union of the late James Franklin and Lillie Lou Cunningham in Egypt, Mississippi. Her family relocated to South Haven in 1946.

Mother Cunningham was easy to talk to while she generously shared pearls of wisdom. She possessed strong family values that were inspired by her deep love for Christ Jesus. She instilled the Cunningham family heritage of discipline and respect into her six sons. Mother Cunningham transitioned from this life on Friday, March 17, 2017. She was preceded in death by her parents, co-pastor James Franklin II and Mother Lillie Lou Cunningham; three brothers – James Franklin Cunningham III, Morris Cunningham, and Bishop Fred L. Cunningham; one son – Morris Sallis and granddaughter – Angela Young.

She will also be missed by a host of family and friends.
