Hurt enjoyed reading out loud to children and also caring for children. She was also affiliated with The Red Hat Society.
“She was a kind and loving mother, sister and grandmother,” her family wrote. “She lived her life by the Word. She was generous with her love of Christ, and looked to find the Light in everyone. She will be greatly missed by her family and many, many friends.”
Donations may be made in her honor to Trinity Lutheran Church Childhood Development Center (CDC).
