IN MEMORIAM:
Ms. NJ Leather 2009
Caren Cunningham

It is with deepest sadness that we must share with you that Caren Cunningham,
our reigning Ms. New Jersey Leather 2009, passed away this morning at the Jersey
Shore University Medical Center near her Asbury Park, NJ home. She was 51 years
old. Caren was an enthusiastic member of the Lesbian Sex Mafia (LSM), co-founder
of TRIBE - NJ's LeatherDykes, a member of the Sirens MC, a founding member of NJ
Andromeda, a close associate of Crusty Old LeatherDykes (COLD), and a very, very
good friend. During the past year she also volunteered at several community
events including Philadelphia'
She was quoted in the Summer 2008 issue of The Jersey Gaze, published by Jersey
Pride, Inc., which featured NJ's Leather Community on the cover and as its lead
story . . .
"I have been into leather my entire life, starting in my early teens with motorcycle clubs and a BDSM lifestyle. Over the years, as leather has become more defined in the community for womyn, I have been proud to call myself a leatherdyke. Having come up through the ranks and having earned my leathers, it is an honor to be called a leatherwomyn. I am proud to stand with my Sisters and Brothers in the Leather Community."
Caren, it was indeed an honor and a privilege to have stood with You.
