Hunt; daughters and sons-in-law, Beth and Gene Darnell of Louisburg, N.C., Beverly and Lynn Davis of Holly Springs, NC, and Jamie and John Jones of Louisburg, N.C.; grandchildren, Andy Darnell and wife Lauryn, Josh Darnell and wife Alicia, Amanda Darnell and friend Paula Shover, Christopher Davis, Brandon Stroud; great-grandchildren, Collin Caskey, Kaitlyn Darnell, Kierstyn Darnell, and Blake Darnell; and brother and sister-in-law, Cecil and Ann Horton of Hillsborough.
