Lynne Anne Hunt

Lynne Hunt, aged 69, passed away on December 14, 2022. She is survived by her daughters Nicole Hunt and Kelly Hunt Parker (Seth), her step-son Robert Hunt (Stephanie), her sister, Cindy King, and her brother, Michael Jeffries. She is also survived by multiple nephews and grandchildren who affectionately called her "Nana." After graduating from the University of San Diego with her law degree and passing the Bar exam, Lynne's love of Nancy Drew novels led her to apply to be a Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Like Nancy Drew, Lynne had a fierce determination to put maximum effort in whatever she put her mind to and in 1978 she successfully joined the FBI as the 91st female Special Agent. Her determination, strong work ethic, no-nonsense attitude, and calm demeanor helped her navigate many difficult situations in her career whether she had to accomplish a two-person arrest of multiple individuals in the south-side of Chicago as a new agent or lead the FBI's Baltimore Field Office through the events of 9/11 as the Special Agent in Charge. Lynne retired from the FBI in 2005 and then went on to have a second career at DuPont managing the company's internal investigations. In 2012, Lynne retired from DuPont and channeled her fierce determination into mastering her favorite sports: golf, tennis, swimming, and bike riding. While her athletic prowess ensured people noticed her, her loyalty and kindness to others guaranteed she made life-long friends. She always had a moment and kind word for everyone around her, and loved being stopped on her daily walks for people to admire her dogs or to say "hello." Lynne had the sort of animal magnetism that ensured not only her own dogs were obsessed with her, but everyone else's dogs were too. It was often a sore spot with members of her family, who would quickly realize that when Lynne came to visit, their dogs only wanted to be around her. The only thing that matched Lynne's love of dogs was her love of family, especially her children. For her family, she was endlessly generous, thoughtful, and dependable. She was the person her family would turn to when they needed advice, a problem solved, or simply for someone to listen to them. While Lynne will be remembered for many things, above all, she will be remembered for her excellence as a mother, sister, and friend.
