Emileigh Lynn Hunter, a cherished wife, devoted mother, beloved daughter, and a friend to many, passed away on August 21, 2025, at the age of 29. Born on November 8, 1995, in Rogers, Arkansas, she brought warmth and joy into the lives of all who were privileged to know her. Emileigh's vibrant personality shone through in everything she did, from her love of family and faith in God to her undeniable passion for all things country.
Emileigh was a dedicated professional, working at Rainwater, Holt, and Sexton Attorneys at Law, where she made a lasting impression on her colleagues and clients alike. Her commitment to her work was matched only by her deep devotion to her family. Emileigh is survived by her loving husband, Jeffery Hunter, and their three beautiful daughters: Savannah Leigh, Hannah Jaelynn, and Kendall Reese. She also leaves behind her adoring parents, Jimmy and Janice Green, along with her mother-in-law, Sharon Hunter, father-in-law, Jeff Hunter; and her sister-in-law, Amanda Monks, and husband Zack. Emileigh cherished her nephews, Chevy and Jaxson Monks, as well as her grandmothers-in-law, Wanda Hunter and Irene Ogden.
Emileigh will be fondly remembered for her expressive laughter, her incredible culinary skills, and the joy she brought to every gathering. Family gatherings were often filled with the delightful aroma of her famous chocolate chip cookies and spaghetti, which always brought everyone together. Christmas was her favorite holiday, a time she celebrated with remarkable zeal, while the fall season enchanted her with its pumpkin spice everything – from coffees to candles, it filled her home with comfort and love.
Her vibrant spirit was matched by her love for adventure; she and Jeff treasured their weekly date nights, enjoying the simple pleasure of each other's company. Shopping trips to Target with her daughters were occasions filled with laughter and joy, as were her dreams of traveling to Ireland, where she longed to explore.
Emileigh's legacy will forever be etched in the hearts of her family and friends, who will miss her deeply. She was preceded in death by her infant daughters, Layla Fay and Lillie Gail, and her sister, Jaime Green. The impact of her life will resonate with all who had the fortune to know her.
