Grandma Hunsaker

Isabell Agnes Hunsaker
July 18, 1915-July 18, 2012
Tyler's grandma passed away a couple weeks ago so we made the trip to Smoot, Wyoming for the funeral. As sad as it always is to lose a loved one, it was most definitely her time to go. Tyler's grandpa passed away 35 years ago, so I can only imagine how ready she probably was to be reunited with him. She chose the perfect way to go out too, right on her birthday after a nice breakfast with her kids. The funeral was a great tribute to her and I'm so glad we were able to make it. All her kids spoke and they all had some great stories to share. I only ever met her once, but I was so glad to learn a little more about her and a little more of the Hunsaker Heritage. One thing that was most evident is how loved she was by her family. She had A LOT of family there to pay tribute to her. The Hunsaker family is HUGE! Its amazing to see how much family can grow from generation to generation. After the funeral, the entire procession went from the church and took a detour passed the Findlay Diamond barn and her home before going to the cemetary. I thought that was a great way to pay tribute to her and cool that she got to take one last ride passed it herself.

Tyler's Oldest brother Chad was one of the palbearers and both Tyler and his brother Russ were honorary palbearers.

The very incomplete Hunsaker family
No Misty, Lydia, Dustin, and no kids.



Can't leave Smoot without going and snapping some pictures with Grandma's barn!

These pictures are nothing fabulous but I snapped them, because its crazy how big the Hunsaker family is. We had to wait 20 minutes in line for food and every seat in the gym got used. There were quite a few people who weren't able to make it too!
