Mary Ann Gunter

Mary Ann Gunter, 55, of Hilton Head, SC, left this life on Wednesday, December 21, 2016, at her residence.

Born in Elberton, GA on May 21, 1961, she was the daughter of the late Randall and Martha "Bay" Dixon Gunter. A 1979 graduate of Elbert County High School, she furthered her education at Athens Technical College where she graduated as an accountant. She moved to Hilton Head in 1981 where she planted her roots. She was an Office Manager and Property Administrator having been employed with GW Services for over 18 years.

Mary’s family and friends were her most prized possessions. She was a free-spirit who was always welcoming and never met a stranger. Her friends will miss her famous one liners the most. The world is definitely less bright as a result her passing. Oh, and she was Tom Petty’s biggest fan!

She leaves behind her beloved daughter, Sally Sleeman; husband, John Sleeman; sister, Dee Whitlow; nephew, Dylan Whitlow; and a host of uncles, aunts, and cousins. Mary also leaves behind numerous friends, coworkers, and acquaintances nationwide whose lives she positively impacted.

The funeral services celebrating her life will be held on Monday, December 26, at 1 o'clock in the Memorial Chapel of Berry Funeral Home with the Rev. Emily Case officiating. Inurnment will be in the Fortsonia Community Cemetery.

The family is at the Gunter residence on Washington Highway and will receive friends at Berry Funeral Home from 12:00-12:45p.m. prior to the service on Monday.
