Helen Ann Truesdel Hunt was born on June 27, 1947 in Macon to the late Barnwell Rhett Truesdel and Helen Pergalsky Truesdel. She passed away peacefully on January 5, 2024, after an extended illness. Services will be held at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church on Friday January 12 at 11:00 AM. Family will greet friends in the Social Hall of the church one hour before the services, and interment will be at Riverside Cemetery immediately following.
A lifelong resident of Macon, Helen Ann graduated from Mt. de Sales High School and attended Ursaline College in Kentucky and the University of Georgia in Athens. She was retired from Georgia Farm Bureau Insurance Company.
Helen Ann was a compassionate and caring friend who maintained a close relationship with her Mt. de Sales schoolmates throughout her life. She had a bright smile, was intelligent, inquisitive, supportive, and beautifully well-spoken; it was a pleasure to share time with her. She had a special love for animals, especially cats and dogs, owning many kitties over the years, and was passionate about providing care and love for God’s creatures. She found comfort in her declining health through her Catholic faith and the community at St. Peter Claver.
She is survived by cousins Cindy Mitchell, Dave Truesdel, Elizabeth Bear, Susan Dagota, Sharon Taylor, Aimee Rustic, Janet Nelson, Maureen Merrill, Karen Lombardi, Patty Pergal, Frank Pergal and Jack Pergal. She was predeceased by her beloved infant daughter Suzanne, born too soon.
