Carole Ann Hunt

Carole Ann (Myers) Hunt passed away peacefully at Perry County Memorial Hospital on the afternoon of February 25, 2015. A loving mother and grandmother, Carole was born in St. Louis on November 29, 1948. In 1967 she married Wayne (Tommy) Hunt and made her home in Perryville, Missouri. She worked very hard to provide for her family, enjoying most her years spent as a secretary. Each spring, Carole took great pride in planning and planting her many flower beds and large vegetable garden from which she would spend her summer canning fresh green beans, tomatoes, and pickles. In winter, Carole decorated every square inch of her home for the holidays. She bought an obscene amount of gifts for her children – and later in life, her grandchildren. She cooked and baked for days in preparation to host extended family on her favorite holiday, Christmas. She also enjoyed reading and shopping; she simply could not pass up a good sale. Carole once said her greatest accomplishment in life was her beautiful family that includes her children whom she loved beyond measure, and her grandbabies who were her greatest joy in life. Carole is survived by two sons; Eric (Amy) Hunt and their three children: Michaela, Hadley and Hayden of Perryville, Matt Hunt and his two girls: Molly and Autumn of Perryville, two daughters; Tammy Hunt and her two daughters; Jade and Lily of New York and Becky (Dave) (Hunt) Barnes and their two children; Layni and Lucas of Bonne Terre all of whom treasured her beyond words and will dearly miss their sweet mother. She is also survived by her husband Tommy, two sisters; Mary Ellen McDonald of Higbee, MO and Linda Mudd of Olney,MO, one brother; Michael Myers of Center, MO, numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of wonderful friends who will remember her for her kind and compassionate nature in troubled times and for her one of a kind sense of humor and witty comebacks. Carole was welcomed home by her parents, Anna Marie and Homer Myers and firstborn son; Wayne Thomas, Jr. Visitation will be held at Young & Sons Funeral Home on Friday, February 27 from 4:00 – 8:00 pm and on Saturday from 6:30 am until time of Service at 10:00 am. Funeral Service will be held Young & Sons Chapel on Saturday at 10:00 am with Rev. Gerold McBride officiating. Burial in Home Cemetery.
