Elaine Adele Hunt

She was born on Aug. 9, 1936 in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Al and Jennie Aftoora. She attended Kent State University where she graduated in 1958 with a degree in teaching. After college, she moved to Los Angeles where she worked in Santa Monica as an analyst for Systems Data Corporation.

She married the late Bill Hunt in 1962 and they moved to Malibu in 1973 with their four children. She earned her real estate license in 1978 and was a successful real estate agent in Malibu for almost 30 years.

One of her passions was cooking for her family and she was a wonderful cook. The most important part of her life was her children and grandchildren. She was a constant source of love and support to those who were closest to her. According to Elaine, one of the happiest times in her life was this summer when we held a family reunion in Malibu and she was with all her children and grandchildren.

She is survived by her 4 children, their spouses and 7 grandchildren: Monte, Marie and Matthew Hunt, of Malibu, CA; Brandon, Sandy, Riley and Connor Hunt of Portsmouth, RI; Grady, Terry, Tyler and Isabelle Hunt of San Mateo, CA; and Jennifer Hunt Armatis and Michael, Xander and Peyton Armatis, of Brentwood, CA. Also surviving are her loving brothers, Charles Aftoora of Kailua-Kona, HI; Gary Aftoora of Boulder City NV; Albert Aftoora of San Pedro, CA.

A viewing will take place on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 12pm at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City followed at 1pm by a celebratory mass.

Donations in her honor may be made to the John Wayne Cancer Institute at St. John's Health Center Foundation in Santa Monica.
