Lenora Hunter, 57, of Williston, passed away peacefully on June 12, 2016 surrounded by her loving family after a long courageous battle at CHI St. Alexius Medical Center in Williston.
Lenora was born August 28, 1958 in Williston to William and Rose Ortloff. She was raised and educated in Williston. She graduated from Williston High School in 1977.
Lenora worked at various restaurants as a cook. Her latest place of employment upon illness was Gramma Sharons where she was a dedicated cook for 12 years.
Lenora loved family time with her grandkids and children; she enjoyed watching western movies, computer games, and sitting outdoors. Lenora was quite the jokester. She loved cracking jokes with the apple of her eye, Kalie or anyone that would joke back. Her smile and laugh was very infectious. There wasn't a stray animal that went homeless nor was there a child that she came in contact with that she didn't love or treat as her own. Her children's friends were always welcome into her home for a home cooked meal or a place to sleep. Lenora was the most caring and genuine person one would ever meet. We as her family are going to miss her deeply.
She was preceded in death by her mother Rose Ortloff, sons Joseph and Robert Hunter. Three infant siblings Herbert, Peter, and Shelly. Son- in- law Franklin Mundo and her maternal and paternal grandparents.
Lenora is survived by Pamela Enno and her children Aurora, Ashton, Kalie (apple of her eye), Wyatt, Dalton (her lil man), Marissa, Blake, Maverick, Trustyn, and Kallen; Rhonda Mundo and her children Bradley, Tobey, and Kalem (Woo-Woo); Lauri (Kyle) Pippenger and their children Filicity (Fissy) and Anna; Amy White Crane and her children Shy (mom's special caretaker), Kadyn, Allie, Brylan, and Jakobi; Nancy Hunter and her son Carter; Donna Hatchard and her beloved dog Axel; Grandson Tyler Opsal of Georgia; Great Grandkids Emmett and Ashlynn Hatchard of Williston; Daughter in law Tory Hunter and her daughter Amaryah (Mar-Mar) all of Williston; Son-in- laws Cheyenne White Crane, Jamie Daily and Marvin Enno all of Williston; Father William (Betty) Ortloff of Williston; Sisters: Ruby (Dale) Kvande of Alamo, Lola(Dean) Ingebritson of Williston, Rita(Kirby aka “Francher”) Swanson of Dupuyer, Montana, and Dawn(Chuck) Dunn of Williston; Brother: Billy Ortloff of Beulah and numerous nieces and nephews.
