Courtney Anne Jones-Hunter went home to be with the Lord on May 8, 2024 at the age of 59.
Courtney was born August 29, 1964 in Akron, Ohio to Jesse White Jr. and Rosita (White) Matthews. She attended St. Anthony Elementary School, Jennings Middle School, and graduated from North High School in 1982. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a Master of Science in School Counseling from The University of Akron.
Courtney married her devoted husband Dallas C. Hunter III, in 2009. They were married for 15 years. Courtney raised two children, Alex Andrew and Courtney Alexis Jones. She was proud to be an educator for 30 years in Akron Public Schools at Goodyear Middle and East CLC. She cherished her students and developed familial relationships with many of them. She had several small groups she led while being an educator, but her most recent contribution was her ROX group, Ruling Our Experience. This is an initiative centered on research-backed resources and programs to help girls use their voice, rule their experiences and embrace their confidence.
Courtney was a proud member of Arlington Church of God. She eagerly volunteered for several ministries including being the scholarship chair and committee member, vacation bible school and kidz landing teacher, EVE program, YEPAW, YEPAW 365, and being a greeter. She was a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Zeta Theta Omega Chapter. She served as the chapter Hostess and on several committees. Courtney had a “servant’s spirit” and she loved caring for family and friends. She was the host of family holidays and competitive game nights of Taboo, Bananagrams, and Phase 10. Courtney was the best spades partner out there!
Courtney was preceded in death by her sister, Cydney Martin; grandmother, Helen Macklin, grandfather Jesse W. White Sr.; aunts, Anita G. Bowens and Mary E. Harvey. She leaves to cherish her memories her beloved husband, Dallas C. Hunter III; children, Alex and Courtney; stepchildren, Kevin, Tara, and Jessica (Chris) Hunter-Hinsvark, grandchildren, Nikolaus, Karter, Kais, Kevin Jr. and Avery; parents, Rosita Matthews and Jesse (Alyce) White, Jr.; brother, Jonathan White; sister, Camille White. Courtney leaves so many more treasured family, friends, and other loved ones whom she valued dearly. Courtney’s memory will live on Forever. We Love You!

To Courtney's family: I am so very sorry for your loss. She was one of the sweetest people ever. I met her when our sons were in the same kindergarten. We went through undergrad together, and she road with me sometimes. During our rides, I got to know a determined, caring young mother who I knew would become an excellent educator. She showed strength and empathy during our class discussions. We then went through the counseling program where she continued to shine. As a counselor, she was an outspoken advocate for students and our profession. She was well loved and will be missed by us all.
May God give you peace and comfort.

"The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother." (St. Therese). Courtney had the heart of a mother in all of her amazing work in the Akron Public Schools and I, along with countless others, was blessed to have witnessed it. She was an advocate for all students with limitless compassion and a leader in every regard. Allow her to live in all of still for the examples she has set. Isaiah 43:1-2: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

Courtney was such a bright light in this world. She cared for her students immensely over the years, making sure they were clothed, fed, and most of all loved. She was also an advocate for our school counseling department here in Akron, speaking up where changes needed to be made for us to fulfill our roles effectively. Although I only knew Courtney for a brief time, her legacy will continue on through the work she did and the way she cared for all of us. She will be greatly missed.
