Lena Locklear, age 81, of Lumberton entered into the presence of the Lord in the early morning hours of February 1st, 2020. Lena was born on April 18, 1938 in Robeson County.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Worth A Hunt and Rachel Chavis Hunt and her siblings Mary Lois Hunt, Ester Hunt and Datris Hunt. She is lovingly remembered by her daughter and devoted caregiver, Lena Gail Locklear of the home, one grandson, Jerry Dean Locklear (Miranda) and his children, Hayden and Paisley; one granddaughter, Kimberly Hunt (Derek) and her children, Kayana and Kaiya of Lumberton; one sister, Nancy Deaver (Johnny) of Faison; six brothers, Robin Hunt (Cora Lee) of Lumberton, William Buck Hunt, Cleatious Hunt, David Hunt (Annie Ruth), M.H.
