Mrs. Bunting, daughter of the late John Thomas Norris and Annie Mae Chancelor Norris, was born November 5, 1930 in Pike County, Alabama.  After high school, Mrs. Bunting attended and graduated from Beautician’s School and began a career in Troy, Alabama.  Later, she moved to the Columbus/Phenix City area where she worked at LeMaster’s Beauty Salon, and in the early 70’s she then opened her own business and operated Beauty Hut until her retirement.  Mrs. Bunting was a longtime member of Central Baptist Church, where she was very involved with her Sunday School class and WMU.
