Dorothy Edmondson Hunter R.I.P.




To my Hunter cousins:
Charlotte Hunter mailed to tell me her mother Dorothy Edmonson Hunter died March 2, 2020.
She was married to William Ray Hunter (1924-2012).  William was son of Oscar Ray Hunter.

Oscar Ray is son of William Hunter(Trammell) and Emaline Ray.  Oscar was a bookkeeper with Panama Canal project, and  that is where he met his nurse wife Charlette Georgia McCabe.
William was a rocket scientist.  Really, he worked for the government as a space scientist and after he retired was called back several times as an advisor.
Dorothy was much in genealogy and volunteered at the National Archives, where she found and share with me some valuable family history information.

Dorothy died of advanced pneumonia.  She requested no “dramatic” effort to keep her alive.  She did not want anybody to make a fuss over when the time comes.  And the same for funerals and memorial service.  Her immediate family will honor her request.
But I hope it will tolerable to say something nice about her.  She was a hard no-nonsense researcher, witty, and  loved her family.  I met her several times will miss our communications.
