GLENS FALLS --- Elizabeth (Metcalfe) Hunt, 96, died Sunday, January 31, 2016 at the Pines of Glens Falls, following a brief illness.

She was born February 25, 1919, the daughter of Harry S. and Elizabeth (Brill) Metcalfe, in Elizabethtown, New York.

A graduate of Franklin Academy, she earned both a Bachelor's Degree and a Master's Degree in Education from Plattsburg State University.

In 1938, she married Eric L. Hunt in Brushton, New York. They settled in Dannemora, where they raised their family, and later retired to Mountain View, New York. Mrs. Hunt taught elementary school at Beekmantown Central School. She was active in the Order of the Eastern Star and the Dannemora Methodist Church. Long after her retirement from teaching, she continued to share her lifelong interests in reading, nature, and history with family and friends. A skilled knitter and needleworker, and an avid baseball fan, she made many beautiful pieces while faithfully following the New York Yankees on television. She will be remembered for her sharp wit and her great wisdom, often joined in a single expression.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband of 66 years.

Mrs. Hunt is survived by her son, Maxwell Hunt; her daughters, Elizabeth (David) Neel and Virginia (Cassius) Phillips; five grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

A private service will be held at the convenience of the family, with interment to follow at Morningside Cemetery in Malone.
