Sandusky

Noah Hunter, 86, of Sandusky, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023.

Our beloved Noah was born March 26, 1937, in Garrett, Kentucky. In the 1950s, Noah relocated his family to Clarksfield, where he built a home from the ground up with some help from neighbors and family at the young age of 22. He was a hard worker and good provider for his family. He retired from the Village of Wellington Utilities where he worked for more than 30 years.

As a jack of all trades, there was not anything he could not do. He was humble, kind, and a pillar of strength to all. He deeply cared for others and spoke directly from his heart giving you his honest opinion at all times. He loved life and people. He would quickly become a friend to all who he met with his southern charm and infectious smile.

His hobbies were playing cards, fishing, hunting, playing with his backhoe, attending flea markets, repairing cars and lawn mowers, and tinkering in his garage on small projects. His favorite time of year was Christmas as he played Santa for the little ones at "Aunt" Donnas every Christmas. He truly loved the meaning and spirit of family.

Noah is survived by five children, Eugene Hunter, Geneva Hunter, Janette Howard, Caroline Hunter Tokar, and Donna (Isidro) Garcia; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren; brothers, Holley Hunter, Jackie Hunter, and Christopher (Karen) Hunter; sisters, Alice (Bill) Cooper, Janie Osborne, Dora Ellen Boyd, and Sally DeVoogd; and Shaloe Raab and Scott Joseph Steele, children of his long-term companion, Janice Steele.

Noah was preceded in death by his parents, Dollie and Emery Hunter; former wife, Maglene Hunter; long-time companion, Janice Steele; brothers, Lewis Hunter, Clovis Hunter, and Kermit Hunter; and five sisters, Jacqueline Traylor, Maudie Tatro, Lillie Mae Thornsberry, Marie Harvey, and Imogene Hunter.
