Gwen Sylvester Hunter passed away on May 2, 2014 in Salt Lake City, Utah from complications of old age.
She was born October 18, 1922 in Hurricane, Utah, the daughter of Victor Leon Sylvester and Sarah Elizabeth Roundy.
She was married to Joseph Vernon Hunter on December 31, 1946 in the St. George, Utah Temple after a courtship that began with the offer of a sweater on a cold fall evening.
She loved her family and extended family and was very involved in caring for anyone that needed help.
Mom always had a great love of art and education and found a way to blend them by earning her B.A. and then M.A. from BYU as she taught Art at Millard High and Junior High for over thirty years. Her students have always meant the world to her.
After retiring, she found a new career as the Fillmore City Librarian, where she helped spearhead the building of a new library.
Her community involvement was always very important to her. She was very involved during this same time with the GFWC and served as the State President among other positions. Something she was proud of.
She is survived by her daughter, Verona; son-in-law, Jefferson; grandson, Isaac; and brother, Leon.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2014 at 11:00 a.m., with a viewing from 9:30 to 10:30 that morning, in the LDS First-Fourth Ward Building, Fillmore, Utah.
Interment will follow in the Fillmore City Cemetery.
