Sherry Renee Fisher Hunt was 46 when she was killed on March 25, 2010, in Marion, North Carolina. Born June 19, 1963, in Burke County, she taught special needs children as a teacher assistant at Ray Childres Elementary School, was an Avon representative, attended Lee’s McRae College working toward a B.S. in education, and was active in Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church.

Her body was found in a creek in McDowell County by landscapers. Her estranged husband, David Hunt, was arrested; on March 28, 2010, he admitted shooting her multiple times, saying the first shot was accidental and that he then went berserk, later expressing remorse and saying he had found forgiveness through his faith.

Sherry’s family, friends, colleagues, and the local community were left grieving after a life devoted to children and church activities. If anyone knew Sherry or has information about her life or the events before March 25, 2010, please come forward.
