Carla L. Hunter, 84, died February 26, 2022, at Cleveland Clinic Hospital in Vero Beach, Fla. She was born March 1, 1937, the daughter of Karl Tschersich (b. 1890) and Ilse Poppendieck (b. 1905) in Neumarkt, Detmold, Germany. Her father became a prisoner of war, held by the Russians. Carla, her sister, and mother moved with her grandfather, who was a high court judge, to West Germany after the war. He taught her Latin and Greek classics, and her mother took her to the opera every week. So, she received a classical education, and spoke German, French, and English fluently. In her 20s, she lived in Cape Town, SA with close friends Marion and Professor Kroner. Her marriage to first husband, US diplomat Eugene Tuttle, ended in divorce after tours in Canada, Madagascar, and Grenada. Several years later, she married David W. Hunter, who was also a US diplomat. They served in S. Korea, India, Ukraine, and Spain. Carla was a world traveler, with love of different cultures and meeting new people. She and her husband retired to Vero Beach, Fla in 2004 where she enjoyed home and garden and beach walks. In 2016 they took a round the world by private jet trip, and in 2018 another to Asia. Carla was active and lively up to the last days of her life. All her close family predeceased her. Her wish was for her ashes to be scattered at sea, as she lived like the ocean, freely moving from shore to shore. Please offer memorials to help the people of Ukraine in this hour of need and pray for world peace. Arrangements are by Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory, Vero Beach.
