Patty Belle Cumming

Patty Belle Cumming, 85, of Lacon Illinois, died on July 27, 2022 at UnityPoint Methodist in Peoria. Born in Lacon on March 3, 1937 to the late George and Hannah (Woolford) Bennett, she married Jackie Lee Cumming on September 17, 1961 in Lacon. Jack died on January 30, 2004.

Patty is survived by her daughter Barbara of Lacon; brother Richard Bennett of Peoria; sister Barb Maher of Florida; and many nieces and nephews.

Patty was a spooler at the Lacon Woolen Mill straight out of high school until they closed. She then stayed home and raised Barbie while Jack went to work. She loved TV, especially the show Heartland, and walking the dogs she had over the years. Family camping trips to Wisconsin in the camper that her and Jack had with Barbie are some of her favorite memories.

Cremation rites have been accorded and graveside services will be held at the Lacon Cemetery on August 6th at 10 AM. Memorials can be made to the family and online condolences can be left at lenzmemorialhome.com
