Pearl Cashatt Hunt

Pearl Cashatt Hunt passed away on April 4th, 2026, at the Gibson Hospice House in Wentworth NC. She was 94 years old.

Mom was born on October 7th, 1931, to James Madison Cashatt and Lou Etta Pierce Cashatt. She was one of eleven children. In 1959, she met my father, and on November 19th, 1960, they were married. In 1964, I came along. Mom loved all things outside, and she loved to work in her vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. She was very kind and had the patience of Jobe. She and my father instilled in me the values of honesty, hard work, and to move forward in life no matter what happens.

Mom was a caring daughter, sister, aunt, wife and mother. Along with her and my dad’s siblings, she was a caretaker for both sets of grandparents.

When she was admitted to Hospice last week, one of the nurses asked her if she liked to cook when she was raising her family, and she said, “not really.” We all laughed, including mom. Her German chocolate cakes were just incredible. She and my father were my two biggest life cheerleaders, and I will deeply miss both of their support and encouragement.

She had a very deep faith in God, and it was reflected in how she treated others and how she lived her life.

She is survived by her daughter, Tamara Hunt, of Reidsville. She is survived by one sister-in-law, Juanita Cashatt of High Point, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Jackie and Crowson Hunt of Thomasville, several nieces and nephews, as well as several great nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to Brookdale of Reidsville where she lived for the last seven years. The amazing care, love, and family atmosphere they created for mom was wonderful.

Funeral services for Mrs. Hunt will be held on Saturday, April 11th, 2026 at 1:00 pm at the Glenn “Mac” Pugh Chapel, 437 Sunset Avenue in Asheboro with Mike Thompson officiating. Interment will follow at Piney Grove United Methodist Church Cemetery, 7564 Jackson Creek Road in Denton.
