Obituary of Amy Ruth Cunningham

It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Amy Ruth Cunningham, on August 9, 2024, at the age of 49, after a very courageous battle with cancer. A loyal mother, daughter and sister, Amy won the hearts of those around her with her frank honesty, fiery spirit and untempered resilience.

Amy's heart was as vast as her struggles were deep and despite the trials she faced, she had a zest for life that shone brightly. She brought a very unique flair to our family. She had a way of making us laugh about mundane things with her sharp wit and street-smart style. Amy's trademark was a fierce intensity, for whatever it was she was trying to accomplish, no matter the outcome. She loved her daughter, her family, her pets and the people in her life with no bounds. Seyene was and always will be her greatest accomplishment.... she is the light of her life.

Despite facing significant challenges with addiction and mental health, Amy exhibited incredible strength. Her journey was NEVER easy, but it was marked by moments of profound love and connection with her family. Through Amy's struggles, we learned the importance of compassion and understanding. We cherish the memories of laughter, shared stories, and the love we experienced together.

Amy is survived by her daughter, Seyene; parents, Paul and Margaret Cunningham; sister, Patty Bedard (Paul), who will forever hold her in their hearts.

Following Amy's wishes, cremation has taken place. A private funeral service will take place at a later date. As we mourn her loss, we also celebrate Amy's life and the joy she brought to our lives. We encourage anyone who is struggling with similar issues to seek help, remembering that there is always hope and a path toward healing.

We graciously ask that any donations be made to a mental health or addiction support organization of your choice.

Rest in peace dear Amy. Your light will continue to shine in our hearts.
