Marie Tresa Hart

She was born April 4, 1921 in San Bruno, California to Louis and Ellen Battyany. Marie lived most of her life in Arizona before moving to Washington from Phoenix in 1979. She was a member of Seven Lakes Baptist Church.

She was the beloved mother to Glady (Wayne) Phillips of Arlington, Gerrie (Chuck) Boortz of Marysville, Roberta Sams of Spokane, and Lowell (Vicki) Hart of Arizona; and grandmother to 17 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Howard in July 1999 as well as her five siblings.

This beautiful woman touched so many lives with her care, concern, and listening ears, that she will never be forgotten. She was also well known as a strong prayer partner; taking the needs of others to the foot of the throne of her heavenly Father. There will surely be great rejoicing in heaven as she enters therein.

A celebration of Marie’s life will be held Saturday, September 20, 2014 at 12:00 noon at Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home with a burial to follow at the Arlington Cemetery. Visitation will be held Friday, Sept. 19, 2014 from 10:00 to 8:00 pm.
