Diane Cunningham Retires After 47 Years

Please join me in extending our heartfelt congratulations to Beverly Diane Cunningham,

who will be retiring from the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service (Monroe

County) effective March 31, 2025.  After a remarkable 47 years of dedicated service, she is

now embarking on a well-deserved retirement.

Diane is a native of Clarendon and is a 1972 graduate of Clarendon High School.  She also

received training from Advanced Schools of Secretarial Sciences, Chicago, Illinois, and

attended UAPB, Pine Bluff.  "I never thought I would be here for almost 48 years but as the

saying goes NEVER SAY NEVER!  I can say I have enjoyed every minute."

Diane's contributions to our company have been invaluable, consistently demonstrating

positive qualities like leadership, expertise, innovation, etc.  She played a key role in many

aspects of the Monroe County office and received numerous awards and certificates for service and has 

been a true asset to our team.

We are deeply grateful for her commitment and positive impact on the U of A Cooperative

Extension service.  While we will miss her dearly, we wish Diane all the best in the next

chapter of life filled with happiness and leisure.

A farewell gathering to celebrate Diane's legacy will be held on Friday, March 21, 2025, from

2-4 p.m. at Monroe County Farm Bureau Conference Room in Clarendon.
