Diane Lynn Thomas Cunningham

Diane Lynn Thomas Cunningham, of Little Rock, passed away October 8, 2014 after a courageous six yearlong battle with various cancers; Diane took her last breath while in the arms of her best friend and loving husband, Glenn. As Diane had wished, her last hours were spent at her beloved home. Throughout her horrible ordeal Diane never complained about her endless pain. Instead, she was always concerned about how others felt. She leaves a void that will never be filled. Diane was born, November 3, 1950, in Pine Bluff, Ark., to John and Aline Thomas (predeceased). She was soon joined by a sister, Sheila Ann Thomas (predeceased), and her brother, Frank Walter Thomas, of Angleton, Texas who survives her.
