Mrs. Alwilda H. Cunningham, 94, passed away peacefully Monday, October 19, 2020, at her home in Brunswick. Born August 11, 1926, in Brunswick to Andrew and Florence Henderson Herring, she was raised by her father and stepmother, Sarah Howard Herring, after her mother's passing when Alwilda was just nine months old.
A devoted wife and mother, she instilled her abiding faith in God and love of music in her children. Alwilda was the Financial Secretary at First Baptist Church of Brunswick until she retired at age 77 to care for her husband. She was a loving grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend.
Above all else, she loved her Lord with all her heart.
Besides her parents, Alwilda was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Darwin E. Cunningham. She is survived by a son, Randell Lee Cunningham of Aiken, SC, and a daughter, LuAnn Cunningham of Brunswick; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 24, 2020, at 11 am in the chapel at Brunswick Memorial Park Funeral Home.
The family wished to acknowledge with grateful appreciation the staff of Hospice of the Golden Isles for their loving care and assistance during Alwilda's last months.
