Linda Sue Hunt

Linda Sue Smith Hunt, 58, of San Angelo, Texas, was surrounded by family when she was called Home by her Heavenly Father, on Saturday, May 5th, 2012 after battling cancer for over a year. Linda was also affectionately known by her grandchildren as “Noni”.

Linda was born in Lubbock, Texas on November 6th, 1953 and graduated from Lubbock Christian High School in 1972. She became a LVN and worked for a number of years at Lubbock’s Methodist Hospital before moving to Odessa. She was a Justice of the Peace secretary for Judge R. G. Hungerford in Ector County until 1992. She has since been a wonderful stay-at-home mother, loving wife, and humble Christian servant to everyone around her. She married John W. “Skipper” Hunt on October 21st, 1988. Linda was gifted with a beautiful voice and loved to sing. Her love for God and his creation was evident in her passion for World Bible School and her mission work. She touched many lives throughout the world in Thailand, India, New Zealand, and Kenya. Linda also loved to send cards to others for all occasions. This spiritual gift touched and blessed many lives.

After Linda was diagnosed with cancer in May of 2011, she was an inspiration to others to live healthier lifestyles in an effort to avoid all types of illnesses. She will be greatly missed.
