Willard Leigh Cunningham

Mar 22 1933 - Dec 15 2014

Willard Leigh Cunningham, age 81 of Dallas, Texas passed away peacefully December 15, 2014. She was born March 22, 1933 to William J. and Birdie Ann (Greer) Cunningham. Willard was the youngest of six children and preceded in death by her loving siblings, Chester, Everett, Willie Faye, Janie and Birdie Jo.

She finished high school at the age of sixteen. Her sister Birdie Jo helped put her through business school. She worked at Neiman Marcus before finding a job at Paramount Pictures where she worked for forty-two years. Willard was always so full of life. She loved to travel. Willard loved to sit in her garden and watch the birds. She loved M&M’s and the Celtic Thunder. Willard was a kind and generous soul. Her family will miss her terribly, but we find comfort in knowing she is in a better place with so many loved ones that found their way there before her.

She is survived by several nieces and nephews.
