Allan Leroy Cunningham, son of the late Franklin and Emmie (Taylor)
Cunningham, was born March 21, 1944, in Waynoka, Okla., and passed away
Sunday, April 14, 2013, in Enid, Okla.
Allan attended school in Waynoka. He served two years with the United States
Army in Vietnam.
On Feb. 24, 1969, he was united in marriage to Barbara McCray in Cherokee.
To this union, five children were born: Esther, Troy, Tommy, Trenton and
Todd.
He was a boilermaker. They made their home in Waynoka, and then North
Dakota. After retiring, they settled in rural Waynoka.
The Lord was the true love of Allan’s life, followed by his wife, Barbara,
his children and grandchildren. Allan never met a stranger and he shared the
love of his Lord with everyone he talked to and finished every conversation
with a very heartfelt “God bless you.” He also loved to dance and ride
horses as well as fishing and hunting. While living in North Dakota, he made
several trips back to Waynoka to hunt rattlesnakes.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Esther;
two brothers, Lawrence and Frankie Cunningham; and four sisters, Florine
Cunningham, Maxine Cell, Leona Brown and Cordelia Bradford; and a
brother-in-law and wife, Alvin and Joyce McCray.
Allan is survived by his wife, Barbara of rural Waynoka; four sons, Troy
Cunningham and wife Jennifer of Taloga, Tommy Cunningham and wife Pam of
Enid, Trenton Cunningham and wife Becci of Mandan, N.D., and Todd Cunningham
and wife McKenzi of rural Waynoka; one brother, Ivan Cunningham and wife
Janie of Waynoka; one sister, Dorine Bowker and husband Chuck of Beaver; 18
grandchildren, great-grandchild, many nieces and nephews, other relatives
and friends.
