A2 • Friday, December 27, 2019 | Seaside Signal | SeasideSignal.com OBITUARIES Jay Patrick Hauger Mark Moreland ‘Marty’ Gill Burien, Washington May 3, 1937 – Dec. 10, 2019 Vancouver, Washington Feb. 13, 1939 – Dec. 5, 2019 Jay Patrick Hauger, 82, was surrounded by his loving family in body and spirit when he went to be with the Lord on Dec. 10, 2019. Jay was the loving husband of Nancy Suzanne (Lee) Hauger. They shared 60 blessed years of marriage together. Jay was born in Albany, Ore- gon, on May 3, 1937, to Dixie (Brown) and Fred Hauger. He spent his childhood in Portland, where his stepmother, Vida, and stepsister, Laurine, came into his life. Also part of Jay’s life was his half-brother, Mark Karson. Jay attended Willamette Uni- versity in Salem, Oregon, and graduated from Valparaiso Uni- versity in Indiana, before marrying Nancy, his college sweetheart, on Aug. 22, 1959. Jay and Nancy began their married life in Valparaiso, where they had their fi rst child, Deborah Karen (Deb), then moved to Bea- verton, Oregon, in 1962, where their next two children, Christine Marie (Chris) and Jay Douglas (Doug), were born. Jay spent seven years working as an electrical engi- neer for Pacifi c Power and Light in Portland. In 1969, Jay and Nancy began the adven- ture of their lives when they accepted a call from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod to serve as missionaries in Nigeria. After spending one year with their fam- ily, serving as house parents at a Lutheran hostel in Jos, they moved to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where they continued their service for the next four years, with Jay working at Radio Voice of the Gospel. Jay always said that these years with his family in Ethiopia were the best years of his life! Returning to the states in 1974, Jay and family moved to a tree farm, their beloved “Hauger Mountain,” acquired by Jay’s father, Fred, near Seaside and Cannon Beach, Oregon. Here they built their home and spent the next 41 years. During his fi rst years back in the U.S., in addition to managing the tree farm, Jay worked for a general contractor building custom homes, was the projectionist at the movie theater in Seaside and was a math teacher at Clatsop Community College. During this time he developed, and later launched a successful computer business, and enjoyed many years serving the com- munity, and the world, as a brilliant, cre- ative, problem-solving computer engineer and software designer. He was truly a renais- sance man! In addition to his work, Jay loved singing in choirs, attending church, working on and enjoying the quiet beauty of the tree farm, participating in community theater, spending time watching the ocean, skiing, doing great work as a Rotary member, reading, trav- eling with Nancy, spending winters in Ari- zona and making friends all over the world through ham radio connections. Jay loved his family deeply, and was a wonderful, loving hus- band, father and grandfather. The loss of his oldest child, Deb, from a heart attack in 1994, impacted his life greatly. In 2015, some years after retir- ing, Jay and Nancy moved to Seat- tle to be closer to Chris (West Seattle) and Doug (Redmond, now Leavenworth, Washington) and their families. One of Jay’s great- est joys during his years in Seattle was hav- ing visiting time with his four grandchildren — at family gatherings in Leavenworth, going for picnics at the water’s edge of Puget Sound, and at his nursing home in Burien. Another great joy was participating as a beloved member of his church, Peace Lutheran, where his son-in-law, Erik Kin- dem, serves as pastor. He loved sharing the peace with congregation members, being lovingly greeted by friends as they made their way up for communion, receiving com- munion each Sunday, and singing the hymns in his strong, beautiful bass voice. Jay lived a rich, full life, fi lled with God’s abundant blessings, love and grace! Jay is survived by his wife, Nancy; daughter, Chris Kindem (Erik); son, Doug Hauger (Christine Trigg); his four grand- children, Indigo Trigg-Hauger, Aiden Trigg- Hauger, Kai Kindem and Naomi Kindem; as well as two step-grandchildren, Nathan Petersen-Kindem (Deyhdra Dennis-Weiss) and Megan Webber (Tyler). Jay was preceded in death by his daugh- ter, Deborah Karen Hauger. Jay’s life will be celebrated at a memo- rial service at Peace Lutheran Church, 8316 39th Ave S.W. in Seattle, on Saturday, Dec. 28, 2019, at 1 p.m. (206-935-1962).

Stormy Day Specials Mark Moreland “Marty” Gill, lifelong Oregonian, passed away Thursday, Dec. 5, 2019, after the last few years of failing health. Marty is survived by his sisters, Janet Kram, Mary MacDonald and Anne Kornemann; children, Amy Rose, Susie Costa and Mark Gill; and grandchildren, Matt and Hai- ley Rose and Jake, Ethan and Naomi Costa. Marty was born in Portland on Feb. 13, 1939, to Mark and Eliza- beth Gill, and lived in the North- west his entire life. Marty attended Central Cath- olic High School, and graduated from the University of Oregon. He decided to work in the family business, JK Gill, for a few years until going out on his own with friends in the insurance business, and later a mortgage company. Marty lost his wife, Jean, just over a year ago. They would have celebrated 55 years together last October. They raised their chil- dren in Portland, and eventually moved down to the Oregon Coast, where they would retire, although their version of retire- ment was buying and running a business in Seaside for many years called Rascal’s, which they loved, as did their grandchildren, with all the sweets and fun beach shirts. Their other love was travel. Marty was either planning a trip, or talking about their adventure. He loved everything about a big trip, and was able to experience all his favorite places around the world. Marty’s favorite things: fam- ily and lifelong friends, his home in Gearhart, the Astoria Golf & County Club, Central Catholic memories and childhood friends, Europe trips, Costco trips, clam- ming, “secret missions,” Ilani Casino Sundays with his daugh- ters, singing to Frank Sinatra, dancing to Frank Sinatra, and talking about Frank Sinatra. Marty lived the past three years in Touchmark at Fairway Village in Vancouver, Washington, to be close to his daughters and receive the care he needed. If he couldn’t be in Gearhart, where he loved, being close to family and receiving such amazing care and support from the wonderful staff was comforting for him. He loved talking to people, giving advice and telling stories of his travels. He will be missed by many. A celebration of Marty’s life will be held after the holidays in January. His daughters will confi rm the date and loca- tion after the fi rst of the year on Marty’s Facebook page.
