Mary Wannell Hunt , age 88 of Nashville, TN passed away Sunday October 23, 2016 at NHC Place The Trace after a short illness. She was a native of Lawrence Co, TN, a banker, and a member of Blakemore United Methodist Church. She was known by her family as Nell and born in Iron City, Tennessee. She started her business career as a cashier at the Bank of Saint Joseph where she worked for many years. Mary became a bank examiner for the State of Tennessee, where she worked until her retirement in 1995. Those who knew her knew that she always carried peanut butter and crackers in her car-just in case. Mary was dedicated to her job at a time when she was the only female bank examiner, she persevered despite the discrimination she endured. She loved all of her family with great passion. She spent a good deal of time in her early retirement mapping out the Hunt and Bryan family trees, and desperately tried to pass this knowledge on to the rest of the family. She enjoyed large family gatherings, letters, and phone calls from family. One learned quickly that a phone call with Nell would last much longer than expected. Mary was partial to no one, and kind to all she came in contact with. She loved the Lord and lived according to His rules, striving to live a wholesome Christian life every day. Graveside Services will be held at Saint Joseph Cemetery on Wednesday October 26, 2016 at 1:00 PM. Rev. John Hill will be officiating. Burial will follow in Saint Joseph Cemetery.
Visitation will be from 11:00 AM to 12:45 PM on Wednesday October 26, 2016 At Loretto Memorial Chapel.
