OverviewBy the time she had reached twenty-one, Joy Hunter had worked in the Offices of the War Cabinet in Churchill's underground war rooms in preparation for D-Day 1944; been included in the Three Power Conference at Potsdam in 1945 between the victorious allies, Great Britain, USA and the Soviet Union; and then went to Washington for the post-war Bretton Woods agreement. She then joined the staff of the Archbishop of Canterbury, working at Lambeth Palace. Joy had a traditional schooling. Her marriage to an architect in 1949 was sadly short-lived due to his early death leaving her with three children under six. She had to work, to support her young family. A fascinating career developed, in teaching, the NHS and Age UK - to name just three - and in 2009 she was involved in an exhibition commemorating the opening of the Churchill underground War Rooms, which created much publicity. She was awarded an MBE in 2013.
