Carol Louise Cable

Carol Louise (Ortner) Cunningham Cable, 91, of Warren, PA, passed peacefully on Monday, July 3, 2023. Carol led a happy, joy-filled life every single day, devoted first of all to family. She adored her two sons Jim (Laurie) Cunningham III, of Pittsburgh, and Matthew (George) Cunningham of Palm Springs, CA; and her grandson Jimmy Cunningham IV. Carol remained close to her late sister Rosemary (Bob) Richard of Scottdale, PA, and Sterling, VA, her favorite traveling companion; and she loved visiting with her brother John (Jill) Ortner of Hamburg and New Paltz, NY, on vacations in Chautauqua, NY, where they spent childhood summers.

An active member of First Lutheran Church for 63 years, Carol was the longtime church secretary, she sang in the choir, taught Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and was a volunteer server at the Senior luncheon until they pointed out that she was older than all the seniors she was serving! For decades she planted and maintained an annual flower bed in the church garden, and loved tending her own lush, perennial garden. Carol thoroughly enjoyed her life in Warren, PA; and she also loved visits to Pittsburgh to see her son Jim and grandson Jimmy, and to California to spend time with son Matt.
