Lula Mae Hunter, age 95, of Hiawassee, GA passed away Thursday, June 11, 2020. She was born in Tate City on March 18, 1925 to the late John and Lula (Eller) Nicholson. After losing her husband Claud Hunter to cancer after 32 years of marriage she worked at the Towns County Nursing Home for 20 years. She was a member of Lower Bell Creek Baptist Church and loved reading her Bible and devotions, gardening and spending time with her family. Lula Mae loved God and loved sharing her faith with anyone that would listen. In recent years her favorite past-time was listening to gospel music and working Bible puzzles.
