Sheryl M. Hunter

Sheryl M. Hunter, age 68, Belle Fourche, S.D., passed away, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2017, at the Rapid City Regional Hospice House in Rapid City.

 

Sheryl was born Jan. 6, 1949, during the blizzard of ’49, at home in Minnesela, S.D., to Garrett and Marietta (Alexander) Kimball. 

 

She married David Hunter Nov. 29, 1969, in Newell. Through this union of 48 years were born three wonderful children. Sheryl worked as a dental assistant for 25 years and was very active in the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Belle Fourche, serving on several boards and also teaching Sunday School.

 

Sheryl was dedicated to her family and friends. With a wonderful sense of humor, she was loving, kind and thoughtful of those around her. She always took time to listen with her heartfelt ear. She was a loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother and friend. Never complaining, she was strong and gentle. She loved the simple things in life, from decorating cakes to crafts like painting rocks and making homemade cards that the family all looked forward to receiving. Sheryl will be forever and dearly missed.

 

Sheryl is survived by her loving husband, David Hunter, Belle Fourche, daughter, Sandra (David) Kullbom, Rapid City; two sons, James Hunter and Lauren (Kristen) Hunter, both of Denver, Colo.; two brothers, Donald (Sue) Kimball, Tucson, Ariz., and Douglas (Connie) Kimball, Henderson, Nev.; a sister, Susan (Wayne) Lettau, Sturgis; four grandsons, Alexander and Andrew Kullbom, Rapid City, and Calvin and Dalton Hunter, Denver; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

 

She was preceded in death by her parents and two infant brothers.

 

Services were held Wednesday, Oct. 11, at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Belle Fourche. A private family burial will follow at a later date.
