Charmaine Hurford Obituary
Charmaine was an alumna of Immanuel Lutheran School in St. Charles, MO, and graduated from St. Charles High School. She furthered her education at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, where she cultivated a foundation of knowledge that supported her lifelong passion for reading and learning.
Throughout her life, Charmaine was actively involved in her community, generously giving her time and energy to various causes. She found joy in simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, playing cards with friends, and traveling to new places, always eager to explore and experience the world.
Charmaine leaves behind a loving family, including her cousin, Amy Kunze, step-daughters Christine Corvin, Cynthia Ackermann, and Catherine Sawyer. She was preceded in death by her parents, Gerald and Catherine Leimkuehler DuVall, her husband, Grant Hurford, and step-daughter, Claire Strunk.
A memorial celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at the Barclay House, 230 S Brentwood Blvd, from 1-3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Bethesda Hearts for our Homes or Unity Hospice, in memory of Charmaine. Her kind spirit and loving presence will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Char and I developed a lasting friendship for over 40 years which began through our being in the same history classes at UMSL. We so much enjoyed our everlasting conversations during Covid when we couldn't meet for our chatty lunches. She was one dear friend whom I will greatly miss. Good Bye dear friend.
