                              Frederick Edward Hart


Frederick Edward Hart, age 92, of Sunfield, MI, passed away at home with his 
family around him on October 10, 2022. He was born on December 30, 1929, in 
Mason, Michigan to Walter and Maude (Halifax) Hunt.

After graduating from Portland High School in 1949, he went on to join the Army 
in 1951, serving for one year in Germany. Upon returning home, he began working 
for General Motors, where he had the opportunity to assemble his own car, a 1954 
turquoise and white Holiday Coupe. During his 34 years of service with General 
motors, he also farmed 100 acres.

In 1955, he met Hope (Jackson), whom he later married in 1956. Together, they 
purchased the home and surrounding land on Musgrove Hwy., where they raised all 
five children. In 1992, they built a new home down the road and remained there 
ever since.

Fred was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, and 
woodworking He attended as many sporting and school events as his children and 
grandchildren participated in, taking him all over the state, and occasionally 
out of state as well.

He was born during yhe Depression and was raised with just the basics in life. 
This had a profound effect on him, where as an adult, he always put in an honest 
day's work and valued every dollar he ever made.He was very proud of all he had 
accomplished in life, but his greatest accomplishment of all was his family. You 
knew you held a special place in his heart when you walked into a room and saw 
that twinkle in his eye and smile across his face.

He was preceded in death by both parents; sister Thelma (Julius) Smith, sister, 
Ruby (Fred) Reynolds; mother-in-law, Golda Jackson and many other family members 
and close friends.

He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Hope (Jackson); his five children, Candy 
Hart of Sunfield, MI, Melody (William) Rodgers of Hastings, MI, Darrius 
(Cynthia) Hart of Vermontville, MI, Shona (Duane) Geiger of Clarksville, MI and 
Dana Hart of Portland,MI; his eight children, Lyndsay (Josh) Grasman, Jordan 
(Jeffrey) Brown, Konnor Geiger, Kennedy Geiger, Angela Kramer, Jackson (Lindsay) 
Desgranges, Aubree Desgranges, and Lyndan Desgranges and his very special great-
grandson, Weston Brown.

Special thanks to Sparrow Hospice, especially Nurse Miranda, for all the care 
and comfort they provided to Fred and family over the last few months.

A Celebration of Life took place Friday OCt.14, 2022 at Sunfield United Brethren 
Church, with a luncheon that followed. After one last stop at his home and farm 
on Musgrove Hwy, interment took place at the East Sebewa Cemetery, Bippley
