Kristine M. Hunt

Naples - Kristine M. (Werner) Hunt, 54, of Naples, passed away in the care of Avow Frances Georgeson Hospice House on December 19, 2019 following a long illness. She was the daughter Richard Werner and Darlene Johnson.

Kristine was born on August 13, 1965 in Dubuque, Iowa. She grew up in Oakbrook Illinois graduating from Downers Grove North High School and immediately pursuing higher education, earning a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Wisconsin, Stout in Hotel and Restaurant Management and Business. She flourished in both the sales and hospitality fields, working for Marriott Hotels and Arbor Trace. She was married to George Hunt in 1993, and they relocated in 1998 to Bonita Springs, FL. In 2003, the two were blessed with a son Cameron George. Kristine stepped away from the full time working world to care for her family, and began a part time position in elder care.

Kristine was a naturally kind and giving person and those traits echoed in her passions. She found joy in cooking, baking, all genres of music, fishing (particularly with her son) as well as entertaining both family and friends. Kristine loved the Christmas season and delivering Christmas cheer, which usually came in the form of her baked goods and her famous "Kris-a-Roos". This recipe was a fiercely guarded secret recipe beloved by all. Above all she enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her son, gleefully volunteering at his school and chaperoning school field trips.

Kristine is survived by her son Cameron Hunt of Naples, mother Darlene Johnson of Naples, brother Jim (Kathleen) Werner of Massachusetts, sister Pamela Szponer of Illinois as well as many step siblings, nieces, nephews, and countless friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Kristine may be made to Avow Hospice in Naples.
