Cunningham, Hattie Glenn (Fite)

Hattie Glenn (Fite) Cunningham was born January 31, 1911 on a farm near 
Yeager, Oklahoma near Holdenville. Eldest of ten children born to Marion F. 
and Birdie Busby Fite. She became second mother to the other siblings. She 
was preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, Jessie Kimball and Vera 
Fite, and two brothers, Jewell Fite and Euel Fite. The family moved to a 
farm north of Hobart, OK in her early teens where she met and married James 
Edward Cunningham in March 1930. Three children were born of this union; 
Etta Jean, Delena, and son Marion J. Cunningham. She is survived by her 
daughters; Etta Jean Lauritzen and Delena Vladovich and husband Simon of 
OKC, and her son 'Jimmy' and wife Ora of Tuttle, OK, 7 grandchildren, 8 
great grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, 3 sisters; Janet Coalson of 
Carnegie, OK, Dorothy Ellis, Friona, TX, Alta Hutto of Clovis, NM; 2 
brothers, Marion Fite, Jr. and wife Ruthie, and John E. Fite both of 
Lubbock, TX. She was baptized into the Church of the First Born at the age 
of 17 and remained a member all her life. Work was scarce in a small town 
and the young Cunningham family moved to OKC in 1935. Hattie wore many 
hats. She kept a garden and grew and canned much of their food. An 
excellent seamstress, she made all her childrens' clothing and in later 
years had a small business in her home sewing for others. She was always 
ready to lend a helping hand to others over the years, sharing the bounty 
of her gardening and canning skills. She will be missed by her family and a 
host of friends who enjoyed her sometimes mischievous sense of humor and 
devotion to their welfare. Funeral services will be 10 AM Tuesday, April 8 
at the Church of the First Born, 100 SE 46 with interment at 2 PM in the 
Lone Star Cemetery near Rocky, OK.
