Sherrill Lunt Obituary (1937 - 2016)

Our Heavenly Father called our sweet angel wife, mother and grandmother home on April 3, 2016. Mom was the fifth of seven children who were born to Zina Cummings and Morris Hunter. She entered the world on August 7, 1937, in Fillmore, Utah. She attended school in Fillmore, and graduated from Millard High School. Mom participated in many activities in high school, but singing in a trio was one of the highlights of her school days, and her beautiful voice blessed the lives of many. Mom attended college at College of Southern Utah (SUU), and while there met Charles Stephen Lunt, she said he swept her off her feet. They were married on September 6, 1957, in the St. George Temple. Dad attended school at Utah State University and BYU, and mom worked as a secretary. One of the greatest joys of her life is when Heavenly Father sent four precious children into their home. It was a dream come true for her to be a mother. The grandchildren who have come into our family have been a great joy and delight and she loves each one of them dearly. Mom has been a lifetime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She had a deep love for her Heavenly Father and her Savior. Her testimony of the Savior and the atonement has been her source of strength, peace and comfort. Mom has been blessed to be associated with our Heavenly Fathers beloved youth. She treasured the time spent working with scouts, primary children, sunday school, young women, Relief Society and students at the seminary. Her life was truly blessed by spending her time with dedicated teachers and special young people. Mom is survived by her husband, Steve, her children, Troy (Lori), Rick (Rochelle), Kregg (Sandi), Kim (Kade) Fullmer, 15 precious grandchildren and three beautiful great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Joan Kenney, and her brothers, Gail Hunter and Larry Hunter. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Gwen and Maxine, her brother, Reid, and grandson, Kyson. With her final words, she wanted to tell you that our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, live and that they love us, and she loves them.
