Complete Obituary: Lester A. Hunt, 91 Wellsville
Lester A. Hunt, 91, of Wellsville, NY, died Friday, November
2, 2018 in his home. Born Jun 24, 1927,
in Wellsville, he was the son of Wilbur and Grace Marshall Hunt. On Feb. 10, 1951, in Wellsville, he married
the love of his life, Katherine E. Billings, and together they raised six
children on the family dairy farm on Hunt Road. Lester was a hard worker and
put everything he had into providing for his family. He was up before the sun, often worked until
well after it had set, and until his retirement in 2006 was rarely at
rest. He enjoyed the company of his
family and loved bouncing his grandchildren and great-grandchildren on his
knee. Though he lived what could be
called an ordinary life for a farmer of his generation, he was an extraordinary
man. His wit and wisdom will be sorely
missed. Surviving are: four sons, James (Lois) Hunt, Thomas
(Rosalyn) Hunt, Steven (Fay) Hunt, and Roger Hunt, all of Wellsville; two daughters, Debra Hunt of Wellsville and
Kristina (Scott) White of Scio; a
sister-in-law Margaret Hunt of Whitesville;
17 grandchildren, including his grandson Daniel (Jessica Waters) Hunt
who lived with him in his final years;
many great-grandchildren; nieces
and nephews. In addition to his parents,
he was predeceased by his wife of 57 years, Katherine; his brothers, Lawrence, Lyle, Leon, and
LaRue; his sisters, Lena, Lytie,
Loretta, Laura, Leola, and Lois; a
grandson, Tyler Hunt; a great-granddaughter, Autumn Hunt; and a great-grandson, Bryson Hunt. Services will be private. Arrangements are entrusted to
Mulholland-Crowell Funeral Home, Wellsville.
