JoAnn Grace Hartshorn, 68, went peacefully into the presence of the Lord, at her home on Camano Island, with family and friends at her side. She was an inspiration to many as she fought her long battle with cancer with grace, humor and fortitude.
JoAnn was born to Edward and Susie Humphrey in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was one of three children, a brother Max and sister Ev. Hugh was raised on the family farm in Draper, Utah. On Sept. 3, 1931, Hugh met Leah Johnson and they dated for two and a half years. When Hugh and Leah were 19 years old, he asked Leah's mother for her hand in marriage. Leah's mother responded in her Swedish accent, "Go and come back in two years when you grow up." They didn't listen to her and got death by his parents, Edward and Susie; son, Carl; brother, Max; and daughter-in-law, Linda. Hugh lived in Utah for 30 years, and wanted to move his family to Washington, as he did not want his sons to work in the mines. He and Leah purchased land on 192nd Street in Renton and spent 40 years in their home. In 1952 they purchased property on Driftwood Shores, so he and his sons could go duck hunting. In 1979 they retired to Camano Island. While in Utah, Hugh worked in the silver and coal mines. When he moved to Washington, he became a member of the Carpenters Union local 1797 for 59 years, and during this time, he worked 34 years for Strand Construction. During his retirement years, Hugh made jewelry and started Hugh's Sharp Shop. He was a member of the Maple Valley Grange and a Boy Scout leader. Hugh enjoyed square dancing, fishing, hunting, camping, rock hounding and wintering in Arizona.
