Betty Owens Hunt, age 94 passed away on Monday, August 19, 2024.
She is survived by daughters, Dr. Karen Hunt (Tony Birmingham) and Janice Hunt Hoagey (David Hoagey).
She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Dr. William Everett Hunt; her sisters, Ruth Cowell, Lucille Allen, Mary Jo Smith; and brother, George Owens.
She was born to the late Ura and Ernest Owens in Whites Creek, Tennessee. She resided there on the family dairy farm until the death of her father when she was age 12 years old. She moved to Nashville and attended Hillsboro High School and graduated from David Lipscomb High School.
She was a homemaker and was a longtime volunteer with the pink ladies of Baptist Hospital (St. Thomas Midtown.) She enjoyed gardening and entertaining in her home and was a member of the Green Hills Garden Club as well as the Horticulture Societies of Cheekwood.
Her strong faith in the Lord was always apparent and she was a lifetime member of Hillsboro Church of Christ.
She was a devoted mother, sister and wife, always sacrificing her time and needs to make sure her family’s needs were met first.
The Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi is the essence of her existence in life. She was an instrument of God’s peace.
She was able to sow love where there was hate, faith where there was doubt, hope where there was despair and was a beacon of light in the darkest times and brought joy in the sad times and in her death was born to eternal life. She was loved and will be missed, but not forgotten.
She will be buried at Woodlawn Cemetery following a private family graveside service.
Special thanks to Caris Hospice and to the entire staff and administration of Belmont Villages who made her last years so very happy.
Special thanks to Randall Pardue for his ongoing spiritual support and guidance even to her last day.
Special thanks to the Hillsboro Church of Christ that she knew and loved.
