1942 - 2018 OAKLAND - Iva (Knox) Cunningham, 75, passed away on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2018, at her home surrounded by her loved ones. Iva was born on July 19, 1942, in Oakland, the daughter of Ivan and Lottie Knox. She was employed at the shoe shop in Norridgewock and the Scott Paper Company in Winslow, but for the majority of her life she was a homemaker. Iva was a woman of private nature and loved unconditionally - she loved her children, her home, and was so happy whenever she was with the love of her life, her husband Kenny. Iva is survived by her husband Kenny; daughter Kathy Lawler and her boyfriend Jim Smith, her daughter Kelly Leeman, her son Kenneth III and wife Kristen, daughter Trisha Brown and her husband Michael; and her sister Barbara Poulin. Iva leaves ten grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents; her three sisters Muriel Gallagher, Arlene Dowl, and Jeannette Collins. A grave sadness in her life was the passing of her beautiful granddaughter Kristen Lawler. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who will be sorely missed. A remembrance service and refreshments will take place on Saturday, Jan. 27, 3 p.m. at Kingdom Life Church, 191 High St., Oakland.
