Nellie E. Hunter

July 31, 1918 - July 30, 2021

Nellie E. Hunter, 102 years and 364 days old, entered her heavenly home with her Lord and Savior, with her loving family by her bedside on Friday, July 30, 2021. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her in her recent illness and ultimately gave her a sense of peace.

Nellie loved her Savior, the Lord Jesus, with all her heart, and she loved God’s Word. Nellie was a powerful prayer warrior, and only heaven knows what a wonderful and eternal impact all her many years of faithful praying have had on her family, her friends, and the world at large. With a servant’s heart, Nellie would care for many people in her lifetime, always putting other’s needs before her own.
She left a legacy to her family of God’s amazing love and grace and was an example to all who knew her

Nellie was born July 31, 1918, in Argos, Indiana to Leslie and Viola Carpenter. In 1947 Nellie married H.W. Hunter in Antioch, CA. Nellie and H.W. had three children Delores, Hurshel, and Mark.

In 1999 at the age of 81, Nellie was the oldest person to receive their GED, an achievement she was very proud of.

Nellie was preceded in death by her husband H.W. Hunter, daughter Delores Kelley, parents Leslie and Viola Carpenter, and siblings Nick, Faye, Selma, Maudie, Noah, Eddie, and Art.

Nellie is survived by her twin sister Trellie Hartman, son Hurshel (Kim) Hunter, son Mark (Lisa) Hunter, son-in-law Walter Kelley, granddaughter Candace Hunter, grandson Blake Hunter, grandson Seth (Shelly) Hunter, granddaughter Abby Hunter, great-granddaughter Kendalle Verkler, great-granddaughter Avery Hunter, and great-grandson Ian Hunter.

She left a legacy to her family of God’s amazing love and grace and was an example to all who knew her.

Only one life twill soon be past only what’s been done for Christ will last.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, from 6-8 p.m. at Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan Street, Plymouth.

Burial will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, August 4, 2021, in the Rochester IOOF Cemetery in Rochester.

    Dearest family Nellie was very important to me and my family. I met Nellie in the seventies when we both went to Christian Center, but our friendship did not and then. In the early 2000s,’my husband Rick became quite disabled from Huntington’s disease. That’s when Nellie became his caregiver and she treated him like a son. Blessed be her memory My life has been blessed by knowing her.

    Candace, I was so sorry to hear about the death of your grandma. I’m sure your grandma had a hand in modeling the wonderful person that you are – your love, compassion, and patience. You have shared stories about your grandma and I’m hoping that the good memories will be a comfort to you while you grieve this loss. Know that I’m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Our precious Aunt Nellie had a great influence on many of our lives. Her Christian witness is what shaped me into the lover of God that I am today. Remembrances of many things she said and did, even though not always accepted at the time, have been used by our Lord. Being a part of the Carpenter family has brought many to believe in Jesus and Who He is.

    Hurshel (and family) Sorry for your loss. I met Nellie at one of the lowest times of my life. She was working at Price’s Dry Cleaners at the time. Somehow she sensed my pain, prayed with me, and gave me words of wisdom. Our Lord has welcomed her into his heavenly home. May she rest in peace.
