Barbara J. Hunt passed away peacefully on January 17, 2020 at Westminster Village in Terre Haute. She was born on January 25, 1933 in Terre Haute to Raymond Baker and Frances Price Baker. She married Dale Hunt on November 10, 1950 and he preceded her in death in 2008.

Survivors include two daughters, Charlynn Weddle and her husband Terry of Terre Haute and Cynthia Evans and her husband Robert of Terre Haute; two grandchildren, Clint Weddle and his wife Trudy of Terre Haute and Kristen Nasser and her husband Mark of Terre Haute; two step-grandchildren, Tyler Evans and his wife Josie of Boston, MA and Hadley Sedgwick and her husband Nile of Savannah, GA; one great-grandson, Charlie Dale Weddle of Terre Haute; and three step-great granddaughters, Heron Sedgwick, Wylde Evans Morway, and Taylor Jacob. Also surviving are her brother Roland Baker and his wife Pat of Terre Haute; sister-in-law Ida Marie Baker of Sarasota, FL, brothers-in-law James Payne and Roy Hunt of Terre Haute; sister-in-law Margaret Hunt of Indianapolis and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Dale Hunt; sisters Virginia Tryon and Ruth Payne; brothers, Eugene Baker and Raymond Baker, Jr; sisters-in-law Carolyn Loveall, Mary Hunt and Alice Baker; and brothers-in-law, Richard Tryon and Leon Hunt.

Barbara's first job was maintaining service personnel records for the U.S. Civil Service in San Luis Obispo, CA where Dale served in the U.S. Army from 1952-1954. After returning to Terre Haute in 1954, Barbara held various temporary and part-time office positions for several years. For the last part of her career, she worked from home as a free-lance word processor writing and preparing resumes, college papers, correspondence and manuscripts. She had a gift for the written word and loved to read, solve difficult cross-word puzzles and write special notes to her family and friends. Her beautiful smile was contagious. Most of all she was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who cherished time spent with her family. She will be dearly missed.

Barbara attended Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church. Her family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for all the caring support and love that was shown to her from friends and family, and most especially to Wendy and Chaplain Ric of VNA Hospice of the Wabash Valley and her incredible team of caregivers on the 5th floor CD wing of Westminster Village. She loved you all.
