Frances Grace Hunter, age 86, of Ephrata, passed away at Keystone Villa on Sunday, October 08, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Curwensville, a daughter of the late Delphin & Lena (Pentz) Snyder, she was the wife and best friend of Paul Hunter.

Frances graduated from Curwensville High School, class of 1955. She worked as a teller for the County National Bank. Frances was a faithful Christian woman and regularly attended the Grampian Church of God. Frances was known for her strong and loving personality, becoming a motherly figure to those around her. She was also known for her bingo skills which got her the endearing nickname of “Bingo Queen”. Frances enjoyed sewing and family trips to Rehoboth beach. Frances and Paul constantly had visitors at their spot in the Villa as employees either started or ended their shift and soaked in their time to laugh and chat with the couple. Frances will always be remembered for her quick wit and big heart.
