Cathy Cummings, former mayor of The Village, respected restaurateur, and loving wife and mother, has died after a battle with gallbladder cancer. She was 62.
Cummings’ husband, Sean Cummings, who owns Sean Cummings Irish Restaurant in Oklahoma City, announced her death Sunday on social media.

“If she walked into a room, it literally brought light into a room,” Cummings told The Oklahoman. “I’ve never seen anybody have that ability to relate to people. The biggest thing about her personality is she was happy all the time. People would ask ‘is she this way at home?’ I’d say ‘Yep. all the time.’”
Cathy Cummings was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and attended St. Teresa’s Academy in St. Louis.
In a 2020 interview with The Oklahoman, Cummings said when she moved to The Village more than two decades ago, she wanted to make it a better place for her five children — two boys and three girls, who are now adults.
“Making the quality of life better for the citizens of The Village, that’s my main goal,” she said.
