Walter A. Hartsock, 101, of Chillicothe, passed from this life on Thursday morning, March 29, 2012, in Traditions of Chillicothe. He was born Jan. 26, 1911 in Van Wert County, Ohio, the son of Remus and Jessie (Ingmire) Hartsock.
In 1946, he married Marguerite Carney, who preceded him in death in December 1984. In 1987, he married Lillian Slane, who preceded him in death in January 2012.
Surviving are his daughter, Charlotte and husband, Tim Horton; his sons, Tim and wife, Patty Hartsock, and Tom and wife, Lucinda Hartsock; step-daughters, Donna Smith, and Janet and husband, Lowell Kever; a step-son, Terry Slane; grandchildren, Amanda and husband, Bryan McCoy, Jonathan Anderson, Nathaniel (Than) and wife, Jennifer Hartsock, Ben and wife, Amy Hartsock, Abby and husband, C. J. White, and Mallorey and husband, Dan Wells; great-grandchildren, Aubrey and Hillary McCoy, Ava and Andrew Hartsock, Whitney and Lindsey Hartsock, Garrett Wells, and Easton White; a sister, Patricia L. Hartsock; and a host of nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; an infant sister; sisters, Nina DeLong and Iva Krout; and a brother, Arthur Hartsock.
Walter was a farmer in Ross County for many years and was also a rural mail carrier. He was a United States Army veteran, proudly serving as a surgical technician in World War II in the European Theater. Walter was a long-time member of Salem Community Church, and later attended Grace Fellowship Church. He had served on the Kingston Union School Board, the Board of Trustees of Adena Regional Medical Center, the Ross County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Ross County Farm Bureau, and the Ross County Farmers Club.
Walter enjoyed the simple things in life: antique vehicles, listening to old-time country and gospel music, attending church, reminiscing, and spending time with his family and friends. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren always brought a bright smile to his face.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, April 2, 2012 in the Grace Fellowship Church, with Rev. Brent Rolsten officiating. Burial will follow in Greenlawn Cemetery with military honors by the Ross County Veterans Honor Guard.
The family will receive friends at the Fawcett Oliver Glass and Palmer Funeral Home from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 1.
“I am about run down…guess I will have to quit for this time. Don’t work too hard and take care of yourself and family.”
Love, Walter
