Gordon L. HART

1927 - 2019

HART, Gordon L. (Age 91) Gordon L. Hart returned to Heaven May 14, 2019 at the age of 91 years. He is survived by his wife Peggy, brother Don, sons Duane and Gale, daughter Lynda and son-in-law Ron Sahnow, eight grand-children, nine great-grand-children and two great-great-grandchildren. Gordon was born in 1927 in Hunters, Washington and raised in a mining camp near Shoup, Idaho. He graduated from Columbia High School in Hunters and served in the Army Air Force in Guam running heavy equipment. Gordon married his high school sweetheart Peggy: they were married 71 years. The Harts lived in the Fruitland Valley where he worked as a wheat farmer and dairyman shipping milk to Darigold for 43 years. Gordon served on many community boards and committees including the School Board, County and Regional Agricultural Boards, Sportsman's Club, and as a Volunteer Fireman for over 30 years. He loved his family and enjoyed the seasons, driving machinery, operating the combine in the wheat fields, fishing, hunting, square dancing, round dancing, snowmobiling, reading, bowling, and traveling in his motorhome. For the last five years Gordon and Peggy lived in the Spokane Valley, first at the Good Samaritan Cottages and most recently at Sullivan Park Assisted Living and Care Center. Gordon was a good Friend and an avid Mariners Baseball fan and he loved to watch the Seahawks, the Cougs, and the Zags. He was always concerned with "Doing What is Right" and will be sorely missed by his family and community. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, June 8th, 1:00 pm at the Hunters Greenwood Cemetery.
