Kay M.Hunsaker, 79, of Murray, Utah, passed away on January 16, 2024. She was born on January 4, 1945, to Hyrum and Ruby Petersen in Holladay Utah.
Kay will be lovingly remembered by her son, Martin (Meredith) Telaroli, her daughter, Kristin Telaroli, her sons James (Kim) Telaroli and Michael (Amber) Telaroli, her sister Debra Ju, and brothers Brent and Kevin Petersen, and many other cherished family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Glen Hunsaker, her father, Hyrum Petersen, her mother, Ruby Mortensen, her sister, Ramona Olsen and her brothers, Marlow, Gordon, and David Petersen.
In the sanctuary of her faith, Kay found solace and enlightenment. As a devoted member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, she nurtured her spirit, drawing strength from the sacred teachings that resonated deep within her soul. Her reverence for all of creation, her unwavering respect for the divine plan, and her devotion were the cornerstones of her existence.
Her language of Love was giving. It was rare to visit her home without her sending you off with something at parting. Her laugh was infectious and her Hugs were meaningful and strong. She will be missed dearly by those that knew and loved her.
A celebration of Kay's life will be held on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, from 6:00-8:00 PM at Her son's home at 1082 S Waterside Drive Saratoga Springs Utah. This gathering will provide an opportunity for family and friends to honor Kay's memory and share their stories and memories.
Please join us in celebrating the life of Kay M. Hunsaker, a woman who touched the lives of those around her and will be deeply missed. May her humble spirit guide us.

I remember Kay for being one of the most beautiful people I know. I ran around with Debra and Kevin before I married her oldest brother Marlow. We lived in Emery after we got married, Gordon and Margrethe, David and Christie and Kay and Jim would come down to hunt deer, Kay could shoot as well as her brothers and often got her game, then she would pack out her meat and wrap it up before her brothers filled their tags. She could be tough as nails and soft as velvet at the same time. She taught me how to cut up meat which I will always be grateful, before my lesson I would have to go out to the bunkhouse and grab a deer leg out of the freezer and saw off a frozen steak. My sincere condolences go out to her family and loved ones.

Shaun Peterson. I remember going to Aunt Kay's house when I was just a kid. We would go play there with our cousins. Martin and Kristen. We had a lot of fun at uncle Jim's and aunt Kay's. Jk Arabians. Anyway like my cousin said the hugs aunt Kay gave us were real she loved everyone. The main thing I remember about Aunt Kay. Is that she was so beautiful 100 percent model. I'm happy to call her my aunt.

Sweet auntie Kay. She was dearly loved by me and my family. She will be sorely missed! Her impeccable style, her amazing, heartfelt hugs, her beautiful smile and infectious laugh! I always looked forward to seeing her whenever I visited SLC and getting one of those truly sincere and precious hugs and kisses with an "Oh I just love you!" expressed every time. Just the best.
My dear cousins, I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you find comfort in the days ahead. Psalm 56:8
Much love, Mona Sanders (Afton and Ramona´s daughter)

Kay always made me laugh and smile. She was always such a sweet, generous person. She had a witty sense of humor, that kept us in stitches. I met Kay when I was a teenager and a few years later I married her younger brother David. She has been a great sister in law. I send my condolences to Kay´s family. She will be missed by all. Love Christie

Beautiful Kay became my Sister-in-Law, after I married her brother Gordon in 1963. We became instant friends, and remained friends all these years, so her passing came as a shock.
I am thankful for all the memories I have to cherish, and I will always miss her!
I send my love and condolences to her family at this time, and I pray that they will find comfort in all the memories they have as well!
