LEROY HATT, 83
On October 16, 2019, LeRoy Hatt, loving husband, father, and grandfather 
passed away at the age of 83.

LeRoy was born Dec. 5, 1935, in Ionia, to Hugh and Isabel (Russell) Hatt. In 
his younger years, life was full of challenges and he dropped out of school 
early. He was driven to succeed and received his GED later.

In December of 1960, he married Cora Colby. They raised two daughters, Kim 
Shorten (Hatt) and Jessica Hatt. Cora and LeRoy were married for 58 years and 
lived in Enumclaw, Wash., for 43 years.

He worked for Boeing for a short time and then landed a position with the 
postal service. He retired from the Bulk Mail Center in Federal Way, Wash., 
after 30 years of service.

LeRoy worked for the Enumclaw School District as a custodian at Kibler 
Elementary. He loved mopping with a little dance in the hallway and dressing 
up for Halloween with a carved pumpkin on hi head. He had many little helpers 
who volunteered eagerly during lunch clean-ups because working with Mr. LeRoy 
was fun. If you needed help, Mr. LeRoy was your go-to.

LeRoy loved to tinker in his shed and also loved to garden. He would fix up 
and sell children's bikes, occasionally giving a few away here and there.

LeRoy was preceded in death by his daughter, Kim Shorten (Hatt), and his 
siblings, Elsie, Viviran, Leo, Herb, and Iris. He is survived by his wife 
Cora Hatt, daughter Jessica Hatt, son-in-law Glenn Shorten, brother Lawrence 
Hatt, sister Marsha Hatt, and grandsons Jared and David Shorten.
