Virginia Emily Hunter

Virginia Emily (Arands) Hunter December 14, 1937 - January 2, 2025 Virginia Emily (Arands) Hunter, known as, "Ginny" to her friends and affectionately known as "Mema" to her grandchildren, passed away peacefully at the age of 87 surrounded by her loving family on January 2, 2025 in Georgetown, Texas. Virginia was born in Newark, New Jersey and grew up in Union, NJ where she frequented Point Pleasant Beach with her family, was active in the Lutheran church choir, loved to dance and was a baton twirling cheerleader, graduating from Central High School in 1955. Music filled her home as her father was a concert pianist, playing symphony concerts and popular NYC nightclubs. Virginia loved to dance and she inherited her skills from her mother who was a child Vaudevillian singer, dancer and acrobat, touring New York and beyond. Virginia worked as a secretary for the United States Army Signal Supply Agency from the time she graduated high school until meeting her husband at the age of 21 in Belmar, NJ. She was married for 57 years to her loving husband, Jack Donald Hunter, from Childress, Texas, who was a Texas Christian University athlete, a pilot, and First Lieutenant in the Air Force and Marine Corps Reserve. Ginny flew around the world with her husband, who also taught her southern cooking and they shared a love for sports. Her husband took a job at Lanier Business Products and during the first 17 years of marriage, they moved over 28 times around the United States where he remained the top salesman at Lanier until they finally settled in Missouri City, Texas for 40 years until the passing of her husband in 2016. In addition to raising their children, Virginia managed the bookkeeping for their family business and later on performed secretarial work for a Houston-based physician's office until she retired in 2016. Virginia was preceded in death by her mother, Florence Elise Doris Adams Arands Davies; her father, Henry Vincent Arands; her brother, Henry ("Hank") Vincent Arands, Junior; her husband, Jack Donald Hunter, Sr.; and her son, Jack Donald Hunter, Jr. She is survived by her daughter, Jill Suzanne Baur; her grandchildren: Dr. Lindsey Hunter-Ellul and husband, Paul Ellul, and their three children; Madison Hodges and husband, Bryan Hodges, and their son; and Forrest Acome and wife, Jamie Acome. Virginia will always be remembered by friends and relatives as being kind, family-centered, hard-working, detail-oriented, and selfless. A private ceremony for Virginia's family celebrating her life will be held Saturday, February 1, 2025 and she will be laid to rest alongside her loving husband at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio at a later date. Instead of flowers, donations in memory of Virginia can be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America or the American Heart Association.
