Choice E. Hunter, age 86 of Lincoln Park, died peacefully on Wednesday, March 15, 2017. She had lived in the Pines Lake neighborhood of Wayne since 1963 and retired to Lincoln Park in 2003.
Choice had been a Registered Nurse throughout her career. She began her nursing education at Fitchburg State University and also studied at Johns Hopkins University before earning her BSN degree. She worked briefly as a nurse before taking on the daunting responsibilities of being a full-time mom. After her children were grown, she began nursing again for several area physicians and also worked several years at Paterson General Hospital in Wayne. She finished her career at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation where she specialized in helping patients with AIDS.
On November 30, 1957, she married William Hunter and thus began a wonderful marriage that endured for fifty eight years. The two of them were like the best of friends. Together, they enjoyed a great social life and lots of travel. They embarked on more than ten cruises, including a trip up the Amazon River and another one through the Panama Canal. They visited Aruba with regularity, and visited nearly each one of the fifty United States during their many excursions. Raising their family in Pines Lake was the highlight of her life and she was very proud of her children. She was a very loving and nurturing mom, an excellent cook, and her Thanksgiving feasts were always to be remembered. She also enjoyed relaxing with her needlepoint, knitting, tending to her flower garden, and watching the birds who visited her well-stocked feeders. She was simply a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother whom they will all miss dearly.
Choice is survived by her beloved children; John Hunter and his wife Barbara of Lewistown, Montana, Sally Herman and her husband Ronald of Pompton Plains, NJ and Choice Soden and her husband Scott of Pequannock, NJ, eight grandchildren; Amanda, Ashley Steven, Billy, Nicolette, Hunter, Garrett, and Danny, her sister; Priscila Brightman of Fall River, MA, brother Dawson Getchell and his wife Edith Ann of Austin, TX, sister-in-law Alva Breithaupt of Wayne, NJ, brothter-in-law Jim Martin and extended family. She was predeceased by her beloved husband William in 2014, her sister Hope Martin in 2014, brother-in-laws Bob Brightman, Malcolm Breithaupt and John (Jack) Hunter.
