Miranda Lee Hunter

Miranda Lee Hunter, age 29, of Garner, North Carolina, left us too soon on Nov. 5, 2024, to join her father, Michael Warren Hunter, in heaven after bravely facing a sudden illness. 

Others who preceded her in death were her grandfather and grandmother, Albert and Ruby Lucas; and her grandfather, Ray Hunter. 

Miranda was born June 12, 1995; she was raised in Asheboro, North Carolina.

Those left to cherish memories of her include her husband, Mark Anthony Hanselman; mother, Ruby Lucas Hunter of Asheboro; brother, Tyler Hunter (Rachel) of Charlotte; her grandmother, Nancy Hunter; one niece, Eden; and four nephews, Levi, Jack, Ian and Elijah; along with many other friends and family that she dearly loved. 

She had a great love for any and all animals, and she leaves behind her two cats, Chewie and Reece.
Miranda was a 2013 graduate from Asheboro High School, where she played the clarinet in the band directed by Phil Homiller. Following this, she graduated from UNC Wilmington in 2017, where she was the president of the anime club. 

Miranda’s passion for being creative began at a very young age, using anything from clay to paper to even making short videos; she always found joy in it. She also loved traveling, wanting to see many places around the world; a few of the countries she was able to visit were Japan, Canada, Mexico, Portugal and Scotland. 

In her free time, Miranda was an avid reader and enjoyed playing video games.

She was a member of Central Methodist Church. The family will receive friends Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, from 12:45-1:45 p.m. in The Family Life Center at Central Methodist Church, 300 S. Main St., Asheboro. The funeral will follow at 2 p.m. with Pastor Lonnie Pittman officiating, assisted by Pastor Fred Huffstetler. The burial will be in Randolph Memorial Park, 4538 US Highway 220 Bus N, Asheboro, NC 27203.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Central Methodist Church or Randolph County SPCA.
