Daniel Harton Obituary
Daniel was the only son with 3 sisters – Mildred (Micky) Poindexter, Florrie Marquette, Terry Losee. He grew up in Conway where he was surrounded by a very large family of cousins as his father was one of 11 siblings.
He graduated from Hendrix College in Conway and went on to study math and chemistry at Ohio State. He started out at the weather bureau in New Orleans and eventually in Asheville, North Carolina, where he met and married Billie Lee Taylor. He spent the bulk of the rest of his working life after settling in Norris, Tn at ORNL/Martin-Marietta as a Computer Analyst Specialist.
He is survived by his wife, Billie; son, Daniel M. Harton and his wife Carmen of Glade Spring, Virginia; and Holly Harton and Georgette Samaras of Clinton, Tennessee; and his sister, Micky. He has three grandchildren, Zeke, Josh and BJ. Also step grandchildren and way too many cousins to mention. But he was everyone's favorite – no matter in what respect he knew them. He was an avid gardener and loved fishing. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
""When we hear the birds chirping on a nearby branch, we will know it is you singing to us. When the gentle sight of the wildflowers catches our attention, we will know it is you reminding us to appreciate the simple things in life. When we feel the rain gently drumming on the tin roof, we will remember your reassuring voice letting us know to be mindful. As the morning sun breaks through each day, we will feel the warmth of your love. And will remember what you all taught us so well – that without rain flowers cannot bloom. Without life's challenges we cannot grow strong.""
