Beverly Jean Hunt

Beverly Jean Hunt of Snowflake passed away on Jan. 6, 2020, surrounded by loved ones.

Funeral services were held on Saturday, Jan. 11, at the Centennial Stake Center.

Beverly was born on Dec. 8, 1935, to Forest and Clara Martin. She is the eldest of three daughters. She loved mothering her younger sisters, playing in the woods, Sunday dinners, and special angel food birthday cakes with white frosting and maraschino cherries.

Beverly graduated from Glenwood High School in 1954, then worked at Farmers Insurance for one year before making the trip to Brigham Young University. During Thanksgiving break she traveled to Snowflake where she met her roommate’s cousin Edwin Lewis Hunt. They were married for 57 wonderful years, where she became the matriarch of a large close-knit legacy that cultivated six children, 21 grandchildren and an ever-growing list of great and great-great-grandchildren.

Beverly spent her full and happy life farming, she also was a secretary at the Paper Mill, the Bank in Snowflake, and many years at Hatch Construction while owning several successful businesses in Snowflake. Beverly enjoyed many great friends that she held dear to her heart. She enjoyed golf, spending time at Roosevelt Lake and talking for hours on the phone with her sister Karen in Minnesota, but the love that Beverly had for her family was the most important accomplishments in her life that she spoke of until the very day of her passing.

She is survived by daughter, Jack (Ben) Yarn; son, Kelly (Andie) Hunt; and daughter, Jodie (Jeremy) Holt.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Edwin Lewis Hunt; sons, Johnny Mark Hunt and Edwin Lewis Hunt Jr.; and daughter, Joni Hunt Davis.

Owens Livingston Mortuary of Snowflake handled the arrangements.
