MARY ALICE GUNTER
Mary Alice Gunter, 91, of Batesville, passed away on Tuesday, June 22, 2021, at the Chateau of Batesville. She was born in New Point, on March 5, 1930, to the late James and Georgia (Harding) Hummell.
Mary was a faithful member of Adams Lutheran Church. She married the love of her life, Mervin Gunter, on December 3, 1949 and together they have five children. Mervin preceded her in death on December 24, 2008. They established their own construction and excavating company and went on to build quite the life for themselves on their family farm. Mervin and Mary enjoyed several “trips” without ever leaving their farm, and it is these special memories that will live on forever. Above all, Mary loved her family more than anything, they were her world.
Mary will be deeply missed by her children Sheryl Shane (Steve), Donald Gunter (Brenda), Daryl Gunter (Amy), and Randy Gunter all of Batesville; daughter-in-law Linda Gunter; 13 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her husband; her son Ronald Gunter; her parents; brothers Mitch, Henry, James, and Billy Hummell; sisters Evelyn Osborne, Dorothy Carter, and Sarah Bayless.
