Died

Arlington, WA, USA 8 December 2014 Feb. 27, 1923-Dec. 8, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dad, Marv Hendrickson, on Monday, December 8, 2014. He was a great father, husband, brother, uncle and friend, providing many laughs, "stories" and quiet wisdom throughout his 91 years. He was born on February 27, 1923 in Felt, Idaho, where he spent his younger years before the family moved to Yakima. Prior to WWII, he met and married his wife, Winnie, a union lasting nearly 65 years. In the war effort, Marv joined the Army Air Corps and flew over 25 missions out of England in a B-24 as a ball turret gunner. After the war, Marv took advantage of the G.I. Bill, earning both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Education. He spent his entire 31 year career serving students in Arlington both as a teacher and as elementary principal. Before and after retirement, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing, and winning at pinochle. Marv and Winnie also enjoyed traveling and visiting friends and family
