Wanda "Betty" Cunningham

Wanda Betty Cunningham, 87, of Cove, died peacefully in her sleep March 20. A celebration of life will run from 3 to 5 p.m. April 10 at Betty's house, 807 Mill St. in Cove. Call 541-568-4536 for more information.

Betty, or Grammy, as she was known by family and friends, lived her entire life in the Grande Ronde Valley, enjoying its beauty and people. She loved laughing, a good story, poetry and a hot game of cards, but nothing was more important to her than time with family and friends.

With that in mind, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, spend time with family and friends. Memorial contributions can be made to the Grande Ronde Hospital Home Health & Hospice or Cove Quick Response Team in care of Loveland Funeral Chapel.

She is survived by children, Janet and Bert Wright of Sweet Home, and Sue Miller of Union; five grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. Betty's parents, Alvin and Cassie Orton; her husband of 56 years, Mark; and her son-in-law, Ed Miller, preceded her in death.
