Cora Hunter Obituary
Cora began her journey of service to others as a dedicated nurse at the Crozer Hospital ER. Cora cared for others with a gentle hand and open heart. Even after her career, she continued to uplift her community through countless volunteer activities, especially as President of the Charty, Saint Vincent DePaul. For Cora, no matter how busy she was, there was no call she wouldn't answer and no person she wouldn't listen to. When Cora wasn't busy helping others, Cora loved taking trips to the mountains to ski, travelling to Europe, and across the globe with her husband, kids and relatives. One thing Cora loved above all else was spending time with her family and friends at her shore house in Ventnor, New Jersey. Although she didn't have grandkids of her own, Cora loved all the visiting kids the same, making sure they put on their sunblock, had great snacks on the beach,and went to bed on time. Cora Hunter was a woman whose life was defined by kindness, compassion, and love. Cora will be remembered for her contagious laughter and her warmth that touched so many. Her legacy of love and generosity lives on in the hearts of all who knew her. Forever loved, forever missed.
