Betty Mae Hunter

In Loving Memory of Betty Mae Hunter

Betty Mae Hunter, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and cherished member of the community, passed away on November 20, 2023, at the age of 85. She was born on January 11, 1938, in Pioneer, TN, to proud parents who instilled in her values of love, family, and hard work.

Betty will always be remembered for her vibrant spirit, zest for life, and infectious laughter. She was known for her love of shopping and was hailed as the coupon queen, always on the lookout for the best deals, especially on Black Friday. Her skillful bargaining and expert shopping strategies made her a legend among her friends and family.

Beyond her passion for shopping, Betty will be forever remembered for her famous delicious Nana cakes. She delighted everyone by creating beautiful birthday cakes and wedding cakes, adding a touch of sweetness to every celebration.

Betty possessed a multitude of talents and hobbies. She had a knack for working puzzles, a passion for crochet, and a love for word searches. She adored snacking and could often be found sneaking her favorite treats throughout the night.

A true family cheerleader, Betty never missed an opportunity to support her loved ones. She attended every function or event, serving as their biggest supporter, and bringing joy to their victories. As the matriarch of the family, she touched the lives of her daughter, Beckie (Stan Weaver) Overbey, her daughter, Angie (Greg) Rush, and her grandchildren, Matt (Hannah) Cleveland, Cassie (Jared) Memering, Erick (Alex) Cleveland, Kaylynn (Jon) Elking, Austin (Corrin) Rush, as well as her great-grandchildren, Peter, Gloria, Philip, Clara, Collin, Maverick, Aubrie, Everett, and Luke. Her love and influence will forever be imprinted on their hearts.

Betty’s love for travel took her on incredible adventures, but one of the most significant moments in her life was being baptized in the Jordan River during her pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Her faith was paramount to her, and she found great joy in supporting her church community. She enjoyed planting and took pride in knowing her home was welcoming to all who entered.

Betty’s generosity knew no bounds, as she never let anyone spend their own money when she was present. She always insisted on paying for others and took pleasure in making sure her loved ones were well cared for. Her thoughtful nature extended to family vacations, where she organized memorable trips, creating lasting memories for her family.
