APRIL HARTNETT Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 15 to Jun. 16, 2010.
April Marie Davidson Hartnett, 33, went to be a flower in God's bouquet at 3:15 a.m., Sunday, June 13th, 2010 in Houston, TX. Her love and kindness was too grand for this world. April was born on Monday, July 12th, 1976, in Denison, TX, and was raised in Euless, TX. Her adventurous spirit and devotion to her husband's military career took her to live in New York, Oklahoma and Tennessee. She started a bakery out of her home, where she created stunning cakes, oftentimes incorporating her remarkable sense of humor. She was majoring in American Sign Language at Lonestar College in Houston, TX, determined to minister to, and make a difference in the deaf community. In 2006, she was awarded the Artillery Order of Molly Pritcher Medallion by the 2/2FA Lieutenant Colonel- the highest honor for a military spouse-for her significant voluntary contributions to the improvement of the United States Army Field Artillery Community. There is no doubt that April's life demonstrated a likeness to Christ; which is now her merited crown of glory in heaven. She was blessed with the voice of an angel, the wisdom of a prophet, and the compassion of a saint. During her lifetime, she displayed many fruits of the spirit– love, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness--the harvest of a life well lived. The fingerprints of her tenderness are evident in the lives she transformed. April, never has there been, and never again will there be another you. April is survived by her dearly loved husband, Michael Aaron Hartnett, and her precious daughter, Tyra McKenzie Hartnett; her mother and step-father Phillis and Robert Mullin; her father and step-mother Danny and Janice Davidson; her siblings Alicia Patty, Clay Mullin, Dorcinda Pipkin, and Mandy Lennie; her grandmother Doris Mullin; and numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She is preceded in death by grandparents Jody and Dorothy Hamill; Erman and Dwight Davidson; and Jerry"Buster" Mullin. Visitation will be Wednesday, June 16th, 6-8 pm, at Donnelly's Colonial Funeral Home, 606 West Airport Freeway, Irving, TX. Services are to be held Thursday, June 17th, 11:00 am at the First United Pentecostal Church of Grand Prairie, 113 W. Skyline, Grand Prairie, TX. Immediately following the service, friends and family are invited for food and refreshments in the church fellowship hall. A private graveside service will be held at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Jeff Hamill, Brian Hamill, Kurt Hamill, Jason Benzmiller, Jerry Kralich, and Gary Blake. Memorial donations may be made in April's honor to the National Association of the Deaf, 8630 Fenton Street, Suite 820, Silver Spring, MD 20910-3819; or online at http://www.nad.org/donate-now. Details regarding a benefit fund for Aaron and Tyra Hartnett will be available once established. Arrangements are under the direction of Donnelly's Colonial Funeral Home in Irving, TX. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:51

She will be missed greatly.

April had a way of lighting up a room with her smile. She was a true blessing to everyone that knew her. No matter how much time passed without contact, she made me feel as though we could pick right up where we left off. She was the definition of true friendship. I remember pool parties, fights for 1st chair in band and singing together on stage with matching Christmas tree sweaters. I will cherish every memory of our years together. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones. Aaron and Tyra, may you continue to feel the love that April has for you.

Dear Aaron, Tyra, Phillis, Bob, Danny, Janis, Dena, and all the siblings!
Our hearts are so sad and heavy for all of you. I remember when April was born, but haven't been around her that much. She and Aaron came to one of our Thanksgiving dinners at Mother & daddy's several years ago, and thank goodness for FB, we reconnected the past few years. I have enjoyed corresponding with her and following her interests. she loved her family and everyone else it seems. She will be missed! Our prayers go out to all of you that were closest to her. I know the hurt is almost unbearable, I know God will carry you through this.
Our love and prayers,
Raymona & Bill Calvert
Danny & Dena are my first cousins. rc

You are all in my prayers throught these hard times.

After learning more the past few days there is no doubt she will be missed by many. God bless you all.
