Doris “Miz Ginny” Hunt, 81, formerly of DeRidder, LA, passed from this life and into the arms of her Savior on Sunday, July 21, 2024 at the Oak Haven Community Care Center in Center Point, LA surrounded by her four girls.  Miz Ginny, the daughter of Johnnie Lee Williams and Myrtle Lee Keaton Williams, was born on August 9, 1942 in Shreveport, LA.

Miz Ginny was a graduate of Springhill High School, Louisiana College in Pineville, and LSU-New Orleans where she earned her master’s degree in special education. While at Louisiana College, she met the love of her life and they began their journey together in 1966. Through the years, Miz Ginny served right alongside Bro. Don at several churches throughout Louisiana and one church in upstate New York through the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board. Not only was she Bro. Don’s partner and helpmate at home, she was also his helpmate and support at church. Miz Ginny enjoyed playing the piano, leading children’s church, children’s choir, VBS and served in any and every capacity necessary at church camps throughout their ministry. Mrs. Hunt taught elementary, high school, and special education for over 30 years. She had a special place in her heart for children with special needs.
