Sobra Ann

Cunningham

Sobra Ann Cunningham, 65, of Linden, passed away on Friday, November 6, 2026, at Witham Memorial Hospital in Lebanon, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on March 3, 1961, in Killeen, Texas, she was the daughter of John and Madonna Cunningham.

Sobra lived for her family, and above all, her girls. Nothing made her happier than having them together, sharing stories, laughter, and simply enjoying each other's company. She had a wonderful sense of humor, was always ready with a joke or a laugh, and had a way of making everyone feel welcome and like they had known her forever.

She loved crafting and tending to her plants, which could be found in just about every corner of her home, along with a craft project or two. There was always something she was growing, creating, or dreaming up. But more than anything, she loved being a mom and grandma.

Her grandchildren held an especially precious place in her heart. Being their grandma was one of her greatest joys, and she loved each of them beyond measure. Whether she was sharing a laugh, offering a little advice, or simply spending time with those she loved, Sobra had a way of making ordinary moments into memories her family will carry forever.

Sobra will be remembered for her humor, her welcoming heart, and the love she had for her family. She had a way of making ordinary moments special, and her greatest legacy will always be the love and memories she leaves with her girls and grandchildren.

Sobra is survived by her five daughters, Sobra Cline of Colfax, Athena (Josh) Gross of Crawfordsville, Macon Wright of Franklin, Aundrea (Michael) Pharris of Edwardsport, and Merrissa Washam of Linden; her seven beloved grandchildren, Meleigha Thomas, Aiden Gross, Landon Washam, Zuri Wright, Anders Pharris, Natalie Washam, and Arlo Pharris; her brother, Thomas Cunningham; and her sister, Marcia (Cameron) Stratton.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Madonna Cunningham; her brother, John Cunningham Jr.; and her sister, Diana Cunningham, who passed away in infancy.

Cremation has been entrusted to Burkhart Funeral Home. A memorial service celebrating Sobra's life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, December 5, 2026, at Grace & Mercy Ministries, 257 Oak Hill Rd, Crawfordsville, Indiana.

Sobra spent her life nurturing the things she loved, whether it was the plants that filled her home, the projects she created with her hands, or the family she held so close to her heart. Her hands may now be still, but the love she poured into everything around her will continue to grow in the lives of those she leaves behind.
