Mary Francis (Morris) Cunningham, 78, was born on February 21, 1947, in Pickens, Oklahoma, the daughter of J.C. Morris and Rosie Almida Morris. She was preceded in death by her parents; beloved husband of 33 years, Dwayne Cunningham; grandson, Tyler Provence; brother, Sam Morris; and sisters, Lucille Staggs, Jo Ann Sisk, and Peggy Whisenhunt.

Francis was a lifelong resident of McCurtain County and was a graduate of Battiest High School. She married the love of her life, Dwayne Cunningham, on October 5, 1990, in DeQueen, Arkansas.

Francis will be missed deeply by her loved ones, but her memory will live on in the hearts of her family forever.
