St. Hunna was the daughter of a duke who, in a lateral move, became wife to a different duke. She consoled poorer women with "baths of milk," which earned her the dignified moniker "the Holy Milkmaid." She is also called "the Holy Washerwoman." This saint is a matron who bore one son. Her son (unnamed here because this is a blog about lady saints so who cares) was also a saint.

"AH THE VIRTUES OF MILK"
Despite multiple aliases, Saint Hunna lacks much of a record. It is not clear, from the limited descriptions available, what virtue or virtues set Hunna apart from any person who—despite worldly privilege or status—selects a commendable and gritty vocation (like nursing, counseling, or cleaning) that requires respect for people in dire circumstances.
