Notes:
Died:
Cunningham; Mary Isabelle (Bud)
Peacefully at Rideaucrest Home on Monday, September 19, 2005, Mary Isabelle (nee Simpson), in her 93rd year. Beloved wife of the late Douglas Gordon (Ben) Cunningham, QC, LLD. Loving mother of Douglas (Jane) Cunningham of Toronto, and Ian (Jan Coomber) of Oakville, and Kathleen Cunningham of Kingston. Loving Nanny Bud of Michael, Darren and Sarah Cunningham, Ben and Jennifer Cunningham, and Christopher and David Madden. Dear sister of John Simpson of Ottawa and the late Donald Simpson of Halifax. Bud was a thoughtful, inquisitive and determined woman of great strength of character. Graduating as an R.N. from Kingston General Hospital in 1934, she continued in this caring role until she and Ben married in 1939. Like so many others at the time, for nearly 5 years, she remained at home while Ben was at war. What a life they had, blessed with a loving family and wonderful friends. Bud made lasting friendships wherever she went. Her love of travel took her to many and sometimes unusual places. Bud was a keen golfer and received a life membership to her beloved Cataraqui as the member of longest standing. Bud and Ben both loved boating and shared many wonderful adventures together. Her love of music was almost legendary, something she instilled in her children and grandchildren. She will be deeply missed. Heartfelt thanks to the caregivers at Fairfield Manor East, and Rideaucrest Home. Special thanks to Vivian Bateman and Charlotte Clark.
