Patricia (Nizalowski) Cunningham, was born on July 25, 1935, in Fall River, MA, and passed away peacefully on March 12, 2026. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend who left an indelible mark on everyone she met.

Patricia's life was filled with love, laughter, and many memorable moments. She loved gardening, bird-watching, knitting, and taking her dog for walks. She cherished time spent with her family and especially enjoyed several vacations abroad to Poland, Italy, and England.

Patricia was a lifelong parishioner of St. Stanislaus Church and often volunteered to help prepare food for the church festival.

Patricia is survived by her loving children, Kathleen Allen (husband Todd Allen), Matthew Cunningham (wife Cori Cunningham) and Joan Cunningham (partner John Dolan); and her precious grandchildren Sean Cunningham (wife Jordan Cunningham), Quinn Cunningham (wife Anying Yang), Danielle Dupuis, and Alexandra Allen. She was preceded in death by her parents, Pearl and Edward Nizalowski, her beloved husband Dennis Cunningham; and her dear son Edward M. Cunningham.
