Hubert Hartshorn Obituary

This week the Lord called home Hubert (Ron) Hartshorn, one of his special servants. Ron was born on Jan. 11th, 1941 in Richwood, WV. He was the son of the late Hubert and Juanita Hartshorn, and was preceded in death by a brother Daniel K. and his sister Catherine Blake. After school, he enlisted in the US Army, and retired after 20 years of service. During this time, he met and married his partner for life, Lynn, in 1963.

Ron completed his college education at Augusta College and transitioned to a career as a civil servant at Ft. Gordon, Ga. After retirement in 1998, Ron came back for a few years to continue work at the National Science Center. Ron and Lynn got involved with service through Quest Church during the final chapter of his life. Ron's love of the people of Belize led him to spend as much time as possible in the mission field there.

Ron was a gifted artisan. He worked with recycled wood to make crosses and artwork to help enhance worship. He took joy in sharing his birdhouses, crafts, and angels with many people. The Lord called home his faithful servant, Ron, but his works and memory will live on with many friends and family.

In addition to his wife, Lynn, survivors include his son, Ronald and his wife Jennifer; brothers Fred, Daniel, and Ken Hill; Keith and Mary Davies; the Donnelly family; and numerous nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind beloved friends in Augusta and across the Globe.

Ron's family sends a special thanks to Paul Smith from Heartland Hospice for his caring and kindness during Ron's final days.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Ron at Quest United Methodist Church, 5001 Gateway Blvd, Grovetown, GA 30813, Saturday, February 24, 2018, at 11:00 AM with the Reverends John Kenney and Forrest Page officiating.

The family will receive friends from 10:00 AM until 11:00 AM at the church.

Any memorials for Ron should be sent to Quest Church, "Next Generation" or "A Better Belize" PO Box 453, Grovetown, GA 30813.

I served with Sgt. Hartshorn at Fort Greely, Alaska in 1970. He was a terrific guy and had the ability to work with some difficult draftees, including me. I'm sorry I didn't look him up and let him know before he died.
