Linda Hunt Clark

Linda Hunt Clark passed away in the early hours of March 30, 2021, at the age of 72. She died in her home surrounded by her Daughters Nicole and Maria and son-in-law Tom.

Linda was born in Fairmont, North Carolina to Vernon and Hazel Hunt where she and her 9 siblings spent most of their childhood. She spent many years in the food and beverage industry sharing her skills of excellent southern cooking and wonderful hospitality that she inherited from her mother Hazel growing up.

In 1970 she gave birth to her daughter, Nicole, and dedicated her life to being the best mother she could be. Linda moved around the south from Fairmont, NC to Jacksonville, NC until settling down in Norfolk where she met her husband, Anthony "Tony" Clark, in the late 1980's. He welcomed Linda and Nicole into his life and home and together, the two of them, built a foundation of love and generosity that they will both be forever remembered for.

Linda was an excellent cook and loved to host and never needed a reason to do so either. Just like the rest of her family, you could count on Linda for a home cooked meal and a welcoming spirit when you visited. She never missed an opportunity to be around family either; whether it was her annual family reunion, a graduation, or a simple family gathering. If she could make it, you could count on her and Tony being there.

She spent the rest of her life dedicated to her close friends and family. She was always there when she was needed and never hesitated to help someone she loved in need. She spent a few years caring for her sick brother in her home being his ultimate care taker night and day. Then did the same thing when her husband, Tony, became ill. She extended her home to many family and friends over the years giving anyone a place to stay when they were in need.

Being the social butterfly she was, she made a great group of friends whom she enjoyed volunteering with within the local community. Her friends were just as much family to her as her children and grandchildren were and she enjoyed every bit of their company.

Linda leaves behind her daughters, Nicole, Eleanor, and Maria; son-in-law, Tommy; her siblings, Mary, Lee, Liz, and Ronald; her grandchildren, Thomas, Devon, Stacie, Sammie, Christa, Christopher "CJ" and Celina; great-grandchildren, Lexi, Carter, Cameron, and Oliver; and a special niece, Audrey, who stayed with and cared for her the last few months of her life. She also leaves behind her mother Hazel's last surviving sibling, Juanita, along with multiple nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents Linda is predeceased by her husband, Tony; her sisters, Berlin and Jackie; and her brothers; Sam, Greg, and Buddy.
