From Stan & Marilyn Moncur:
A wonderful lady! We will miss her. When I was teaching first grade at Paul Elementary, we started a publishing center to publish the children’s stories they wrote. She took on the chore of typing the stories, making book covers, and putting them together. The books were a real treasure for the students! Margaret never stopped smiling and working. We loved her.
From Renee Wells:
Margaret was my trainer at the temple last summer. How I love her!!! She was such an example of purity, grace, and unconditional love…a true disciple of Christ. I will forever be grateful I was honored to learn the temple from her. I am going to miss her. Our prayers are with her family!
From Cecilia Patterson:
What a beautiful service for Margaret. I wasn't in our home in Paul a week when Margaret was at my door with a plate of cookies and a geneology book showing us how we are related. Since 1981, so many memories! What a great example Margaret was in my life, of a wonderful wife and mother should be! Her example of how important it is to serve who we come in contact with.
Until we meet again:)
From Karla Kay Shaffer:
Oh Sister Hunt, I love you and will miss you! Thank you for your kindness and perfect example of exactness and mindfulness as my trainer at the temple. You were always so bright and cheerful and reminded me of the most beautiful and radiant living flower imaginable. Your genuine smile and perfect white hair brought celestial thoughts to my mind and peace to my heart. You have blessed so many with your humble and willing spirit! I hope to be able to do the same. Thank you dear lady. You were there for me when my mama passed away and helped me "Think Celestial." Prayers of love, peace, and many beautiful memories for your family and the multitude who you have touched and blessed. I am sure you will be helping with the work at the Burley Temple. Until we meet again, thank you so very much for helping me along my path. Now my husband works at the Temple too. Love you! Sister Karla Shaffer

I’ll remember Margaret for her kindness and her faith. She was a remarkable lady.
From Devera Sanders:
I have memories of Margaret from an early age growing up in the same ward and then in the last six or seven years learning to make homeless mats and then doing them every month at the Emerson Ward. I would see her at the Temple frequently and I will miss her so much. She was such a mentor to me. What a wonderful sweet kind person she was.
From Marlene Bigler Paulsen:
Our love and prayers reach out to our Uncle Duane and all their family. It’s hard to believe Aunt Margaret is no longer here. She was an amazing person who noticed needs all around her and was so willing to serve, love, and help in any way she could. All her life was filled with love and service to others. Her family, church members, friends and all those she served in the Temple, and on her mission with her dear sweetheart Duane. This world will feel empty, and less without her in it. She was such a blessing to all of us her family. I will forever remember all of our summers in Idaho, and the times she and Duane were there to comfort and support our family in times of our loss from death. Our love, and prayers will be especially with her family in the hard days ahead without her. We look forward to one day being with her forever with all of our families.

What a wonderful, kind, caring and fun woman she was! I have many sweet memories of being with her and her family on our yearly summer visits. She always made me feel loved and welcome.

I have many great memories growing up in Paul, ID that include Margaret Hunt. One of the nicest, kindest people to ever live. She will be missed.
From Peggy Carlquist:
Margaret was my ministering companion when we became members of the Emerson 2nd Ward. She was a goer and a doer. If there was anyone in need of a meal, a ride, a blanket, you name it, Margaret was always ready to supply it!! I loved ministering with her and have really missed her since we were moved to Emerson 1st ward. She was a delightful, happy ray of sunshine.

From Jen Olson:
I am good friends with Margaret's daughter in Seattle. Even though I had met her only a few times, she opened her home up to me and my children to stay the night as I was traveling across 4 states by myself and didn't think I could make that drive alone. Not only did she welcome us to stay but she cooked us breakfast the next morning and hugged us all before leaving. I know she will be missed by so many. She has a genuine Christlike heart.
From Dile and Lynda Monson:
Our hearts are breaking! Margaret will be so missed! Her smile, her confidence, the kind way she corrected her trainees at the temple. She was so looking forward to serving in the Burley temple. We will miss her! Are prayers are with Duane and their family!
