Flower in Full Bloom
The family of Lillie Hunter (second from left) gathered with her Friday to receive the honor of being named this year’s Flower in Full Bloom. Hunter was born in Bell County, Ky., and moved to Van Wert in 1952. She married James Hunter in 1956 and together they had eight children. Today, she has 18 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and another one on the way. She spends most of her time buying birthday cards for her loved ones and has spent her life taking care of someone, transporting friends and neighbors to doctor appointments, the store or wherever they need to go. She has taken care of several families, going to the nursing home to feed them or just talk to them. She attends Liberty Baptist Church and has also helped with Convoy Community Days.
