Mable E.

Cunningham

SWEET MOTHER MABLE E. CUNNINGHAM, better known to close family and friends as "Makie" or "Aunt Makie," was
born to the union of the late Jimmie Lee Taylor and Evelyn Taylor in Beaumont, Mississippi. Left to cherish her memory
is a devoted sister, Dorothy Stallworth; and sisters-in-law, Wilmer Taylor and Waldell Taylor. She was preceded in death
by siblings, Carrie Lee Taylor, Crawford Taylor, Cedonia Taylor McSwain, Clara Taylor Smith, Jimmie Lee Taylor, Josh
Taylor, Amos Taylor, and twins, James and John Taylor.

MABLE was surrounded by love and brought up on the knowledge and importance of Salvation through Jesus Christ.
She attended River Valley Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor James Dossett, where, as a little girl, she
accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. And she never took down.

MOTHER CUNNINGHAM attended elementary school in Beaumont, Mississippi. From there, she attended Piney Wood
Boarding School in Piney Wood, Miss. She migrated to Chicago, Illinois, and later found her nesting place in the port city
of Mobile, Alabama. In Mobile, she met and married the late Willie Cunningham, and to their union, their children,
Veronica, Sheila, Jacquelyn, and the late Roy where added. She worked alongside her husband as his helpmate, while
raising her children and teaching them the importance of Salvation, hard work, honesty, and love.

She moved to Beaumont, Texas, and later to Los Angeles, California. She became a member of Mt. Zion Missionary
Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Edward Victor Hill, Sr. where she worked diligently in church. She read
and studied the Word of God. Mother Cunningham was anointed by God with the gift of intercessory prayer. Allowing
God to user her as a battle axe in the Kingdom, she labored faithfully. Later in years, she joined West Angeles Church of
God in Christ, under the leadership of Bishop Charles Blake. There, she continued to labor faithfully in the vineyard. She
returned to Mobile, Ala., where she attended the Word of God Church for a season. There was still something she
needed. She became a member of The Greater Shower of Blessing C.O.G.I.C., where she elevated through the teaching
and knowledge of Prophet Charles Buchanan -- all a part of God's plan, preparing her, for her faith was about to be4
tested. She was filled with the Holy Ghost and the Word of God. She never complained, and she never lost hope. She
never lost faith in God or the things of God. She was truly a woman of faith and a woman of God.

She also leaves to cherish her memory her children, Veronica (R.L.) Duckworth; Sheila (Melvin) Bryant, Jacquelyn
(Donald) Hamilton; six grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and a host of nieces, nephews,
cousins, other relatives, and friends. She was preceded in death by a son, Roy Goodwill.

Mother would say …
"God can't lie." "If He said it, He's gonna bring it to pass." "I trust God, I'm in His hands." "Give it to God." "You
gotta trust God at His word." "You can't do nothing without God." "God is good all the time." "Never be
ashamed of standing firm on the Word of God, giving God all the glory." Mother Cunningham continued to
encourage others while enduring her own task – to the very end.

Virtuous woman, "favor is deceitful. And beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth in the Lord, she shall be praised.
Giver her the fruit of her hands. And let her own works praise her in the gates." Proverbs 31:30-31

"He will wipe away ever tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,
nor pain anymore. For the former things have passed away." Revelation 2:14

"When the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away." I Peter 5:4

A Special Thanks

I would like to take a moment to thank God for my husband, R.L. Ducksworth. He labored alongside me with my mother for over 20 years.
