Barbara Ann Hunt - November 10, 1937 - April 14, 2022
Departed: 04/14/2022 (Thomasville)
Obituary Preview: Barbara Williams Hunt, beloved wife, mother, nana and educator, went home to be with her Lord and savior on April 14, 2022. She passed away peacefully at Hinkle Hospice House of Davidson County after battling Alzheimer’s disease for over 7 years. She was 84. Barbara was born in Valdese, NC to Isa Powell Williams Epley and Woodrow Wilson Williams on November 10, 1937. She is survived by her daughter, Jatonna Hunt Garner, her son, Warren Hunt and wife Wendy, and her beloved granddaughters Devon and Dylan Gailey. She is preceded in death by her husband, Oscar Lee “Robin” Hunt and her brother Rex Warner Powell, who perished in the Korean War. Barbara graduated from Lenoir Rhyne College in 1959 with a degree in education and a minor in commercial art. She earned her Master’s degree from A&T University in Greensboro. She began her teaching career at Pilot Elementary School. Went on to transfer to Fair Grove and spent many years there until E. Lawson Brown Middle School was created in 1976. There she spent the remainder of her career until she retired after 30 years in 1993. Barbara lived for her students and believed that education was the gateway to success and spent her life making sure no child was left behind. She was a softball and cheerleading coach, mentor and tutor. She loved teaching social studies to her eighth-grade students and organized trips to Washington D.C., New York and Virginia to expand young minds. In 1998, she returned to her love of teaching at Shining Light Christian Academy until 2002. In 2003, she accepted a position at Liberty Drive Elementary School for the next five years. Barbara worked tirelessly for 39 years molding young minds. Shortly after graduating college, Barbara met and married the love of her life, Oscar Lee “Robin” Hunt on July 2, 1960 in Morganton, her hometown. They moved to Thomasville and we’re together 55 years before his passing in 2015. Barbara loved everything Elvis and had an extensive collection of memorabilia. His gospel albums were her favorite music, and even though she never got to see him in concert, she was his biggest fan. In her late years, her battle with Alzheimer’s was long and arduous. It is a hateful disease that affects the entire family, but we can only imagine how hard it was on her. She was robbed of her memory, recognition, reading and writing skills, mobility and eventually her life. The one amazing thing was that even after Alzheimer’s had taken everything else, she still knew she was a teacher. Her passion was that great. She taught our family more about patience, understanding, forgiveness and selfless love in the last few years than you can learn in a lifetime. And through it all, even on her worst day, she managed to smile. Barbara was a true gift to her family, her friends, her fellow teachers, the community, and most of all to her thousands of students who will never forget Mrs. Hunt. The family would like to recognize the wonderful and welcoming staff of Hinkle House. There are no words to describe how grateful we are for the peace that was given to Barbara during the time she was there. Thank you.
