Mrs. Georgia Mae Hunter

February 13, 1930 - January 20, 2019

Sis. Georgia Mae Hunter, wife of the late William "Bill" Hunter, was born on February 13, 1930 to the late Searcy and Frankie Russell in Lexington, Kentucky. She departed this life January 20, 2019. At an early age, Sis. Hunter accepted Christ under the leadership of Rev. E.T. Offutt and was baptized at Historic Pleasant Green Missionary Baptist Church. Throughout her life she remained a devoted member, serving honorably as President of Usher Board #2. She was also a member of the 40+ Christians, the Culinary Department where she specialized in desserts, served meals during Vacation Bible School and Prayer Teacher Meetings. She especially enjoyed worshiping God, whom she trusted wholeheartedly. She cared for others and practiced Christian morals, values, and beliefs in her very unselfish approach to living her life centered around her faith. "Aunt Mae," as she was affectionately called by many in her large family, was the strength that they all looked to for guidance and support. Her roles as a wife, sister, aunt, friend and confidant were to be admired. Her family all loved and cherished the many contributions she made to their lives. Her work at St. Joseph Hospital spanned many years. She was also employed at Four Points Hilton, from where she retired. She was a resilient and much appreciated employee whose work ethic was exemplary. She leaves us to treasure a legacy of being a woman of honorable character, righteous living, a steady and firm respect for no nonsense, and a heart abounding in love for others! In addition to her parents, Sis. Hunter was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William "Bill" Hunter; four brothers, James T. Russell, John Russell, Searcy Russell, and Cecil Russell; and two sisters, Nannie E. Gardner and Louella Maupins Drake. She is survived by one brother, William R. Maupins; several generations of nieces and nephews including a special great-niece, Michone Shields whom she raised as a daughter; and a host of other relatives and friends, including her church friends whom she considered family.
