Jackie Lumkin Hunt

Townville, SC – Jackie Ruth Lumkin Hunt, 73, passed away Saturday, August 16, 2025, at her home surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Oconee County, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Josephine "Polly" Guinn Lumkin. Jackie grew up on a family dairy farm, enjoyed showing cattle and participating in the 4-H. She was a graduate of Central Wesleyan College obtaining a degree in Early Childhood Education. She taught many children at Ravenel and Townville Elementary Schools.

Jackie volunteered on the Fork Rescue for many years where she served as Chief and Assistant Chief. Following her retirement from those roles, she served on the Board of Directors, serving her community for nearly 40 years. She loved spending time at Cherry Grove Beach.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Frances Lumkin and her grandson, Jack Franklin-Lee Hunt.
