Margaret May Hunter, age 83, of Canton, Ohio, went to be with her heavenly father on November 8, 2026. She entered this life on May 16, 1943, in Alliance, Ohio, the daughter of Joseph "Herbert" and Evelynn (Bandy) Hunter. Margaret was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Dorwood Hunter; sister, Estella Smith; and brother, John Hunter.

Margaret graduated from West Branch High School in Beloit, Ohio, in 1961. She began her career as a bank teller before joining The Timken Company, where she worked for many years until her retirement.

Known for her kind and loving heart, Margaret deeply cherished her family and friends. She had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed collecting Beanie Babies, Cherished Teddies, and Fenton glass. Her favorite pastimes included gardening, especially growing sunflowers, shopping, and sewing.

Above all, Margaret treasured the time she spent with her grandchildren and great-granddaughters, who lovingly knew her as "Gigi." Her warmth, laughter, and love will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her, and the precious memories shared with Margaret will be cherished and never forgotten.

Margaret is survived by her daughter, Lori (Rob) Provitt of Canton, Ohio; son, Anthony (Brittiney) Hunter of Hollister, Missouri; three grandchildren: Kaysey Provitt, Erin Hunter, and Connor Hunter; and twin great-granddaughters: Alyvia and Aliyah. She is also survived by her sister, Eleanor Pitt of Louisville, Ohio; sister, Naomi Hunter of Alliance, Ohio; brother, Ed (Diana) Hunter of Alliance, Ohio; niece, Marie (Fred) Frederick of Louisville, Ohio; niece, Angie Hunter of Alliance, Ohio; several other nieces and nephews; and many great-nieces and nephews.
