Douglas Hart Obituary

Douglas E. Hart, 44, a resident of St. Joseph's Center since 1972, died Wednesday morning at St. Joseph's Center.

Born March 8, 1969, in Mechanicsburg, son of Jody Geiger, Mechanicsburg, he was a member of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, Dunmore.

Douglas enjoyed music, especially Christmas songs, children's songs, country and gospel music. He also enjoyed television programs, in particular the "Price is Right" and sporting events. He was an active member of his Parish, and he very much enjoyed attending weekly services.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Betty J. Hart; maternal grandfather, Donald Hart, and his sister, Twyla Hendry.
