CAROL CUNEO
CUNEO, Carol Anne, a former chair of the Fine Arts Department at Lee-Davis High School, and a top producer for Long & Foster Real Estate, died Sunday, March 29, 2009 at Henrico Doctors' Hospital. She was 57, and lived in Richmond. Ms. Cuneo, who devoted 34 years to students at Lee-Davis, was diagnosed with advanced cancer just three weeks after her mother died at age 90 in early October 2007. A New York City native, Ms. Cuneo who won a scholarship to the prestigious Pratt Institute in Manhattan at age 16, had an adventurous spirit. After graduating from high school, she told her mother she was going to a concert in upstate New York. There she saw Jimmy Hendrix play the Star Spangled Banner, and other greats at the first Woodstock Music Festival in August 1969. She never called home cause the lines were too long at the few pay phones and she didn't want to miss any music, she later told her husband. Soon she was on her way to Richmond to begin her Bachelor of Fine Arts study at VCU. On the drive, she saw her first cow that was not wrapped in cellophane in a grocery store. After graduating in 1973, she and a girlfriend backpacked across England and Europe for six months. She started teaching at Lee-Davis in January 1974. She developed the photography program, helping her students qualify for college scholarships. Under Ms. Cuneo's guidance, the art and literary magazine, Pinpoint, won state and national awards. During school vacations, she chaperoned Lee-Davis students on trips to England and Europe. Ms. Cuneo's after school job was real estate. In her 18 year career, she sold properties valued at more than $67 million, and she was a key agent in a planned 90-plus townhouse complex in Mechanicsville. Ms. Cuneo was unable to continue teaching after being diagnosed with colon cancer. She is survived by her husband, Michael P. Grim of Richmond; and her brother, Donald F. Cuneo of Bel Air, Md.; and nieces and nephews. As a longtime friend of animals, she asks that in lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Animal Rescue Organizations.
