Gretchen is survived by her daughter, Ellie Rose Seelbaugh of Prospect; her mother, Darla Hunt and her husband, Earl “Denny” Hunt, also of Prospect; her father, Patrick Barger of Grove City; two sisters, Olivia Hunt of Seven Fields and Tabitha Hunt of Prospect; two brothers, Avery Hunt of Prospect and Nolan Barger of Grove City; her maternal grandparents, Adrienne and Dave Kniess of Prospect; and her paternal grandparents, Dennis and Nancy Barger of Grove City; as well as a number of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
