Ellen Rockwood Hunt, a vibrant woman filled with a loving spirit and magnetic personality, passed away peacefully in Plymouth Minnesota May 17, 2020 from complications of the Coronavirus.
Ellen’s energy and positive spirit were admired by many.
Ellen loved the water and was surrounded by it most of her life.
She lived alongside the Atlantic ocean north of Boston in Marblehead in the early years of her married life where she and her then-husband James H. Hunt lived with young RayC enjoying a tight knit group of friends that revolved around the water and sailing.
When Ellen entered any space, she immediately thrust aside the curtains and opened windows to let in light, color and fresh air. She was a spiritual seeker of life’s deep meaning and our place in the cosmos. She learned and later taught Transcendental Meditation to nearly everyone in her immediate community – an expression of her deeply held sense that a closer connection and belonging existed that each of us could access. In her mid-life Ellen lived in Fairfield, Iowa as a devoted follower of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Later she sought the warmth of the sun in Tucson, Arizona and Carlsbad California where she lived for many years overlooking a lagoon on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. There she continued her teaching of meditation and joined in with close friends that led Oneness Meditation.
The family is grateful for the love and support of her friends and the staff at Brookdale Plymouth in Minnesota where she spent her final years. She formed special bonds with many amazing caregivers that helped give sparkle to her days.
Ellen is survived by her three children Ray C. and Laura (Cabot) Hunt, Annie R. Hunt and Elizabeth S. Hunt; her four grandchildren Sarah Hunt, Hannah Hunt, Zachary Langbehn and Dean S. Isaacson; her dear brother George I. Rockwood Jr., his three children and their families; and a wonderfully interwoven extended family.
