Emmett Leroy Hunt, age 91, of Union, Ohio, passed away Saturday, October 10, 2020, at Stonespring of Vandalia, in Vandalia, Ohio. He was born April 1, 1929, in Cynthiana, Kentucky, the son of the late Leroy "Roy" and Lena Mae Toadvine Hunt. He grew up with three older sisters, the youngest being eight years older than Emmett. He was definitely the "baby" of the family.
After graduating from Oddville High School, Emmett followed his sisters to the "Big City" of Dayton, Ohio, to look for work, because he was certainly NOT a farmer at heart! He worked with Frigidaire and Dayton Power and Light before settling into his 40-year career with Borden Dairy. Emmett was a highly competitive and avid sports fan and was inducted into the City of Dayton Softball Hall of Fame. He was a University of Kentucky Wildcats fan and enjoyed golf, basketball, bowling and playing euchre.
He was preceded in death by: his parents; his loving wife, Madge Rockey Hunt; a daughter, Cindy Hunt Whittaker; an infant daughter, Wendy Jean Hunt; and three sisters, Gayle Mullin, Loraine Case and Eloise Haubach. He is survived by: a son, Rex Hunt (Vicki); a daughter, Dawn Hunt Manns (Joel); seven grandchildren, Wendi Christopher, Justin Whittaker, Brandi Martin, Toby Peacock, Holli McDonald, Jamey Dorn and Kendell Limburgh; a son-in-law, Danny Whittaker; and a wonderful extended family and many friends.
Graveside services for Emmett will be held at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 14, at Glen Haven Memorial Gardens, 8200 West National Road, New Carlisle, Ohio, with Pastor Bob Vogelmann officiating. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society in honor of his daughter, Cindy. For the safety of the Hunt family and all of those attending services, please wear a mask and practice social distancing while at the cemetery.
