Burneda Cummings

Burneda Cummings of Davis died peacefully in her sleep on Aug. 31, 2003. She was 88.

Born on American Ridge above Kendrick, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 1914, she was the daughter of Benjamin Harrison and Rebecca Reed Cummings. Her hometown was so small when she grew up, there were only four jobs for women -- and she and her sisters held three of them.

She later attended business college in Spokane, Wash. There she worked 10 years for Bowles Furniture Company as a bookkeeper, then 30 years at the Old National Bank before retiring.

She moved to Davis in 1992 to live with her sister, Ethel, and a much-adored Yorkshire terrier named Ginger.

According to her family, Burneda's many interests included reading, playing Scrabble (she was "unbeatable") and cards ("a shark"), book and stamp collecting, and making "memorable" divinity candy and angel food cakes.

She also traveled extensively throughout the United States, Western Europe and the Middle East.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Phyllis Dennler, nephew John Dennler, niece Linda Grossen and grand-nephew Jeff Laird.

She is survived by sisters Ethel Lyberger of Davis and Jewel Dunnler of Juliaetta, Idaho, nieces and nephews, Arlene Laird of Clarkston, Wash., Janice Lohman of Lewiston, Idaho, Karen Lyberger of Oakland, Dale Lyberger of Davis, Mark Dennler of Juliaetta; numerous grand-nieces and -nephews; and a host of good friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Heifer International Project, P.O. Box 8058, Little Rock, AR 77203.
