Loretta K. Clark Hunter’s husband Paul Daniel died in 1999. She died in March, 2012. Years before passing she had prepared a will outlining her wishes regarding the final disposition of her assets. Mrs. Hunter wanted her estate to live on to help the citizens and pets of southern West Virginia. In 2015, per Loretta’s will, endowments were established at Beckley Area Foundation to benefit four charitable organizations. This one reflects her interest in protecting and caring for the animals who could provide companionship to so many area residents. Loretta’s will mirror her diverse charitable interests and reinforces our understanding as to how testamentary gifts can make a lasting difference in a variety of charitable purposes.
