Many of us remember Carolyn Hunt as our State's First Lady from 1977-1985 and 1993-2001. Carolyn Hunt has a teaching degree from UNC-Chapel Hill. She taught in Nepal, worked as a substitute teacher, served on the Wilson County School Board, and volunteered in our schools for more than 35 years.

“We had very similar backgrounds, very similar. Both growing up in the country, working hard on our families’ farms, beliefs, faith, all those things.” — Carolyn Hunt






“Thank God for Carolyn Hunt.” – Jim Hunt
