Linda Louise Hunt

Linda Louise Hunt, 71, of Anderson, Indiana, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2026. She was born on October 20, 1954, in Lynn, Indiana, to Henry and Rebecca Munshaur.

Linda grew up in Anderson and graduated from Madison Heights High School in 1972. At just 13 years old, she met the love of her life, Larry Hunt, who was 15 at the time. The two became best friends, balancing each other perfectly—Larry was the steady and constant to Linda’s orneriness. They were married on June 3, 1972, and shared a lifelong partnership rooted in love, laughter, cuddles, hugs, and kisses.

A dedicated homemaker, Linda expressed her creativity in countless ways. She was crafter, gardener, writer, drawer, and seamstress. She was a proud member of a gardening club that cultivated spaces designed to attract wildlife, including the majestic red-tailed hawk. When Linda was not creating beauty, she was likely bowling or going for a drive. She taught bowling on Saturdays at Cooper’s Sports Bowl and was very proud of her team of high schoolers that made it to the state championship.

Linda was also a gifted writer and poet, with one of her poems being published—an achievement she cherished. She lived life with energy and enthusiasm, known for her feisty personality, dark sense of humor, and love for jokes. Warm, friendly, and approachable, Linda had a way of lighting up every room and turning even the simplest moments into memorable adventures.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 54 years, Larry Hunt; her daughters, Michelle (Steve) Jackson, Patricia (John) Wilhoit, and Karen Ratliff; her grandchildren, Chelsea Hunt, Linsey Hunt, and Tala Anderson; and her great-grandchildren, Isabella (Sophia) Hunt, Meredith Donahue, and Bruce Donahue. She is also survived by her sisters, Mary (Dan) Ogilvie, Karen (Mark) Mace, and Amber Bennett.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Viola Rebecca Munshaur.

Linda’s legacy is one of creativity, love, laughter, and a life lived fully. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
