Mrs. Roseann Hunt

Roseann Josephine "Rosie" Hunt, born July 12, 1945, in Rochester, NY, passed
away January 17, 2025, in San Andreas, California, at the age of 79. A loving wife,
mother, and grandmother, Roseann was born to Ann Biondolillo (mother), of
Avon, NY, and Gus Eritano (father), of Rochester, NY.
Roseann is survived by her beloved husband of 42 years, Eric Hunt of Railroad
Flat, CA; her children, Jason Loe of Canton, GA, and Shanon Loe of Las Vegas, NV;
and her grandchildren, Baylor and Brecken. She was preceded in death by her
sibling, Peter Eritano of Mesa, AZ, and both her parents.
Roseann attended Bishop Alemany High School in Southern California before
becoming a cosmetologist and cosmetology instructor. Later moving to Northern
California, she began a 20+ year career with the Golden One Credit Union. Moving
up into the foothills in 1988, she and Eric built their forever home on their
Railroad Flat property. The experience of developing the property drew them
even closer together. In the early years on their property, she enjoyed helping
with clearing and burning brush and trimming trees. She and Eric would stay close
to the large burn fires and stay warm as it got colder toward dark. Rosie
particularly enjoyed the deer herds that would frequently come by for
"handouts."
Working for a few years at the Squirrel's Nest in Sutter Creek allowed Roseann to
indulge her love of antiques and knickknacks. She loved the older houses in Sutter
Creek. They reminded her of the houses back in Avon, NY, when she was little.
When both Roseann and Eric retired, she had more time to take day trips, work in
the garden, and enjoy her favorite flowers, daffodils. She loved to walk around
her trails on the property picking up pine cones to add to burn piles later, take
trips up Highway 88 to picnic at Cables Lake, and spend time in peaceful places in
the mountains. She enjoyed taking in the fall colors on excursions to places like
the Gardnerville area in Nevada.

Whether antiquing, shopping, or working on projects on their property, Roseann
and Eric functioned as a team. Taking small day trips to nearby small towns and
historical places, or staying home, keeping the wood stove going and watching
favorite TV shows and movies, they worked together to build the life they wanted
and create lasting friendships and strong memories.
Roseann joined dance groups and support groups through the years, traveled to
Georgia to visit her granddaughters, and enjoyed working the vegetable and
flower gardens. She always had an abundance of tomatoes and a few freezer bags
full of home-grown blueberries. She looked forward to their small orchard
harvests each year.
In the winter storms, she made sure they had plenty of supplies so they could
hunker down together with a crackling fire. In warmer weather, she liked to grab
snacks and drive out to find new places to explore or to revisit for picnics.
All who knew Roseann Hunt will miss her dearly. Her family and close friends
honored her at a graveside service at the Independence Cemetery in Railroad Flat,
CA, on January 24, 2025 at 1 p.m. If so moved, donations can be made in her
memory to a charity of your choice.
