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. The Salvation Army unit in Beckley offers unique, local programs developed to meet the specific identified needs of the community they serve. Its national recognition and local achievements led Loretta to include provision for annual support of our Salvation Army activities.
