Obituary of Ann Elizabeth Cunningham

Born in Albany, New York on April 17, 1937, Ann Elizabeth “Annie” Cunningham died in Tumwater, Washington on March 15, 2022. The only daughter of Conrad and Magdalena Scheller, she spent most of her childhood years in Coxsackie, New York, graduating from high school there. The entire Scheller family moved to the Olympia area in 1955, where Ann attended Dietz Business College before beginning a career working with the state of Washington for 13 years and then for 17 years as office manager at Educational Service District 113 before retiring in the late-1980s.

 

Ann married Jim Cunningham and together they enjoyed many years of family activities, including boating as members of the Olympia Yacht Club. In addition to a rewarding career, Annie’s main focus was on family and friends, hosting many gatherings and dinner parties. Post retirement years were filled with cruising and travels to Europe, Canada, South America, Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Alaska and numerous travels throughout the continental United States.

 

Annie is survived by her children, Ken Latham (Susan), Karen Latham Hagen (Paul); stepdaughters, Mary Cunningham and Julie Cunningham (Roc Zimmerman). She is also survived by eight grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Predeceased family members are her loving husband, Jim Cunningham; parents, Conrad and Magdalena Scheller; brothers, Henry, Alfred, Joseph, and Bernard Scheller; stepson, Richard Cunningham, and his daughter, Christina.
