Margaret Hardy
July 30, 1920 — February 8, 2011
7/30/1920 – 2/8/2011
Margaret E Hardy, age 90, passed away February 8 at her home in Bellingham, Washington following a long illness. She was born July 30, 1920 in Barberton, Ohio to Thomas and Elizabeth Taylor. She was married April 6, 1940 to Edwin Hardy, her husband of 52 years.
During World War II, husband Ed served in the military while Margaret worked as a beautician. In 1950 they built their own home from the ground up in North Canton, Ohio and in 1955 moved to Garden Grove, California where Ed started a successful business as a CPA. In 1980 they retired to Sequim, Washington. When Ed passed away in 1992 Margaret moved to Bellingham.
Margaret was a creative artist who always sought new ways to express her artistic talents. In the 1950s she decorated ceramic figurines and created tile mosaics. During the 1960s to 1980s she oil painted and sewed beautiful clothes for herself and her family. In recent years she took up crocheting and made literally thousands of hats which she donated to charity. Her Welsh-inspired sense of humor will be remembered by all who knew her.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law Jack and Kathie Hardy of Bellingham; grandson Kevin Hardy of Portland, Oregon; sister Frances Coburn of Fullerton, California; and brother John Taylor of Lakewood, California.
She will be buried next to her husband Ed in Loma Vista, California where there will be a graveside service for family and friends.
Memorials may be made to Whatcom Hospice; 800 Chestnut St. Suite 1A, Bellingham, WA 98225.
