I have wonderful memories of Alma and her family. I had the honor of being the live-in companion for Alma's dear Mother in the 1980's. Alma spent many days and nights with us while her Mother needed full-time care. I was treated as a member of the family and enjoyed living with Alma and her Mother. Alma's love for the Lord was her life and breath and purpose for living. I enjoyed helping Alma sort through and organize her stacks of mail from her friends from all over the world! She loved her...

I remember her always smiling face and cheerful remarks when I picked her up to go to Rosalind Hills Baptist Church or to go to keep that all important hair appointment. She was so easy to love and she knew how to remind you of your many blessings that God breaths on us each and every day. How fortunate we were to have her in our lives.

To the Family of Miss Alma,
We were blessed to have Miss Alma and our mutual dear friend Arvil Pennington as guests in our home in Chesapeake, Virginia during Easter several years ago. On the evening of Maundy Thursday, we decided to visit a beautiful, candle-illuminated Baptist Church in downtown Norfolk. As we slipped into a pew, one could sense a certain buzz in the air. After a few moments, a lady behind us tapped Miss Alma on the shoulder seeking to confirm that this great...

I want to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Alma Hunt's family, and extended family. I was blessed to meet her as she spoke at our church a few times, and then, just a couple of years ago, she returned. I will cherish the photographs I have of her and myself and some of our members. I was active in WMU and she so inspired many of us. God used her in a mighty way here on earth, and now He called her home to be among His angels. I loved her sweet voice and her lovely smile, and...

To the Family of Alma Hunt:

We express our deepest sympathy to each of you in the loss of your loved one. We thank the Lord for the privilege of having heard Miss Hunt speak at Ridgecrest as well as other locations. She was such an inspiration to us to continue our journey for the Lord through WMU. She will be remembered for her love for missions, and her Godly influence will continue for generations to come.

Her many accomplishments were noteworthy even in the eyes of men. ...

One of my first experiences after graduating from Southern Seminary and beginning my work with Kentucky WMU was to meet and be in meetings with Alma Hunt. What a role model she was in every way. I learned so much just being in her presence and seeing her passion for the Lord and missions.

Dear Family of Alma Hunt: First I'll remind you who I am. I am Janice Moses. I was a dietary aide at Loyalton for nearly four years. I fell in the kitchen on Dec.6,2007. I continued working until my right leg just "gave out". My last day of work was Jan. 13,2007. On Jan.30 I was told I had a broken right hip. My surgeon put three screws in my hip , but to this day It has not healed so I cannot work.
Now to my Sweet Alma: When she entered the dining room she always gave me a Hug and a...

Mrs. Hunt was an inspiration to all Baptists - men and women. I know she is overseeing all Baptists now in heaven. Blessings, Nancy C. Greene,
