Kathi Cunningham, a founding member of the WithIt organization and longtime furniture industry sales executive, passed away Feb. 6 from complications resulting from the flu.

She was also part of the Hospitality Committee for many Withit Professional conferences.
Kathi was most recently senior regional sales manager at Classic Home Furnishings. Prior to that she was a senior account rep for Four Hands for 10 years.
Condolences can be mailed to her partner Marcia Shein, her parents Bob and Ann Cunningham and brother Robert Cunningham in care of the Bill Head Funeral Home
