Janet Marie Hamman Hunt
April 6, 1954 - January 27, 2026
Janet Marie (Hamman) Hunt, 71, passed away peacefully on
January 27, 2026. She was born April 6, 1954, in Victoria,
Texas, to Howard Alvin Hamman and Ruthaleen Jean (Magill)
Hamman.
Her greatest joy in life was her family, whom she loved
deeply. She is survived by her children, Erin Marie (Hunt)
Brown and Donald "Rhett" Everett Hunt III; her
grandchildren, whom she lovingly called her five hearts -
Jackson Jarvis, Addison Jarvis, Camber Brown, Cash Brown,
and Cohen Brown; and her cherished sisters, Glenda Pons and
Sharon Tomas. She now joins her beloved brother, Howard Glen
Hamman, who preceded her in death.
Janet leaves behind countless others who adored her -
neighbors, customers who became friends, lifelong
companions, extended family members, and even chance
acquaintances who quickly found themselves at ease in her
presence. She had a natural way of lifting people up, making
everyone feel seen and valued. A true cheerleader for so
many throughout her life, she saw the best in people and
encouraged them to believe in themselves. Unassuming and
kind, she was quick with a sympathetic ear and generous with
her time and hugs, always ready to help someone in need.
Guided by her old-fashioned country values, she believed in
showing up, working hard, doing what was right, and caring
deeply for the people she loved. Her warmth and bright, easy
smile drew people in, and she gathered friends everywhere
life took her.
Janet delighted her loved ones with her storytelling -
sometimes through animated tales that could fill a room with
laughter, and often through her photography. Her passion for
capturing moments grew alongside her love of travel. During
her years working for United Airlines, she explored the
United States and the world, visiting Europe, Africa, the
Caribbean, Mexico, and the Middle East. Wherever she went,
her camera went with her. Through images of people, places,
and the quiet beauty of everyday moments, she leaves behind
thousands of photographs that chronicle a life richly lived
and preserve treasured memories for countless friends and
family. Above all, Janet gave her love freely and loyally.
Her presence brought comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging
to those fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply
missed and forever remembered with love.
A service celebrating her life will be held February 26 at
1:00 p.m. at Faithbridge Church, 18000 Stuebner Airline
Road, Spring, Texas 77379.
An additional service will be held April 11 at 11:00 a.m. in
