Betty was a woman of quiet strength, creativity, and deep devotion to her family. Her life was stitched together with the simple joys of home and heart—sewing, crafting, canning, and baking filled her days and warmed the lives of those around her. She had a gift for turning the ordinary into something special, whether it was a batch of homemade cookies or a carefully crocheted potholder.
Her greatest joy in life, beyond her beloved boys, was reading. Books transported her to other times and places, and she never lost her curiosity or love of a good story. In her mid-80s, Betty surprised everyone by embracing technology and took up playing games on her iPad, proving that age was no barrier to learning something new—or having a little fun.
She was also known for her crocheted creations—delicate doll clothes, cozy afghans, and sturdy potholders that were treasured by family and friends. Her hands were rarely still, always busy making something beautiful or useful. Betty loved a good card game, especially when it brought people together at the table, where laughter and light-hearted competition made for some of her fondest memories.
Betty leaves behind a legacy of love, creativity, and resilience. Her life was a patchwork of caring deeds and heartfelt moments that will be cherished by all who knew her. She is survived by her children, Bob Hunt, Ron (Ruth) Hunt, Mike (Sue) Hunt, Rick (Vickie) Hunt, and Tom (Kay) Hunt; grandchildren, Charles Hunt, Aaron (Dawn) Hunt, Andy Hunt, Sarah (Todd) Oswalt, Jacque (Jeremy) Arnold, and Brian (Brittany) Hunt; great-grandchildren, Samantha, Preston, Bella, Alyssa, Joni, Brandon, Haylee, and Dakota; great-great grandchild, Jaylynn; cousin, Phyllis (Bill) Roush.
In keeping with Betty's wishes, there will be no formal services. Wappner Funeral Directors-Mansfield is honored to serve the Hunt family.
