CLEWISTON — It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of former Hendry County Sheriff’s Office Accreditation Manager Christa Nicole Willis Hunt, known to all of us as Nicki, wife of HCSO former Sgt. Jared Hunt. Nicki passed away on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in Pensacola, Florida.
A Celebration of Life will be held:
Thursday, August 7, 2025, beginning at 10 a.m.
First Baptist Church
Nicki began her career at the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office in September 2008 as a Dispatcher transitioning to the position of Human Resource Clerk and then Accreditation Manager. Nicki was deeply involved and largely responsible for the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office Initial Accreditation in 2012, its Reaccreditation in 2015 and in 2018.
In 2019 Nicki and her husband, Jared Hunt relocated to Greenville, Alabama. If you knew Nicki, you knew she was the life of the party. She was dedicated to whatever task was presented to her and attacked it with passion and success.
On behalf of Hendry County Sheriff Steve Whidden and the men and women of the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office we offer our deepest and most humble condolences.
