Sending love to the entire Hunt family. Mary Hunt was a dear friend, with a kind and warm heart. She treasured everyone equally, and was endearing to all. I will so miss her spirit, zany personality, and sharp sense of humor. Sending up prayers for healing peace, and holding you all in my heart. xoxo

As a former cast member of many Ponca Playhouse productions, I have so many wonderful memories of being cast in shows with Mary, particularly the comedy, "Harvey," when we played mother and daughter. She was such a wonderful, caring and very funny woman, onstage and off. She had all cast members of any shows we shared with her reveling in laughter in the Green Room (when she was often busy knitting), during rehearsals, and performances. Getting to know and work with her at the Playhouse was...
