Marie Cunningham Blanchard, age 70, of West Liberty, KY, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2017, at the St. Claire Regional Hospital, in Morehead, KY. She was born on April 19, 1947, in Blossburg, PA, daughter of the late John W. Cunningham and Marie Dann Cunningham. She graduated from Mansfield High School in 1965 in Mansfield, PA, and from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania in 1968, with a bachelor's degree in math and a secondary degree in elementary education. She later earned an associate degree in architecture from Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, GA. Following graduation from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania, she worked for IBM as a Systems Engineer for 10 years before retiring to start a family. She home-schooled her children. She volunteered at Holy Family Catholic Church in Marietta, GA, as a Sunday School teacher and as an 8th grade coordinator during the time her children attended Sunday School. She continued her passion for teaching when she organized weeklong summer camps at the Woodland Community in rural Clairfield, TN, for 8 years. Marie enjoyed tutoring high school students in math once her children graduated high school and were off on their own.
