Three children were born into this union, Terry Hunter of Sioux City, Valerie Wall and her husband, Allan of Bartlesville, Okla., and Tom Hunter and his wife, Jackie of Sloan, Iowa. She lived a lifetime in the Albaton area. Jean had a great love for their country home and all of their family times.
