She graduated from Davenport High School in 1956 and was involved in cheerleading—her most enjoyable memories of high school. ‘Go Gorillas!’ After high school she married George Talkington in 1958 and had three children. They lived in San Diego, CA, until his discharge from the Navy and return to Harrington to start farming. Divorced in 1979, she went to work at the local café as a waitress; 13 years later, she hung up her apron. She enjoyed dancing, singing and making sure everyone got a hug, a firm handshake and smile every day. Family members recall how the simple things in life were very important to her—a cloud in the sky, a rainbow or just the animals in the yard were things she could talk about with much enjoyment. She loved her family and grandkids more than anything else. Besides her parents, a son, Patrick Talkington, and brother-in-law, Jerry Compton, preceded her in death.

Timm, Harvey Duane (88) 2018

"Duane Timm, our husband, dad, grandpa, great-grandpa, uncle and friend left this earth for new horizons on Feb 7, 2018, at age 88. After his arrival in 1929, his parents, Otto and Florence Timm let his big brothers, Gordon and Bob, name him after a cousin they idolized-that' how he became Harvey Duane. Growing up in Harrington, he had lots of adventures (and misadventures) with his many Timm cousins and school mates. Duane helped his dad with farm chores and learned early-on the fine art of wheat farming that would define his career. He attended Harrington schools and graduated from high school in 1947, and then attended Eastern Washington College in Cheney for a year. After which he joined the Air National Guard of the State of Washington and was soon after called into service in the US Air Force. On April 7, 1951, Duane married Dona Marie Hose, high school sweetheart and the love of his life. Soon after the wedding, the two headed out on a new journey to San Antonio, Texas, where Duane was stationed. He learned how to weld, a skill that he would use throughout his farming career. He served two years and achieved the rank of Airman Third class, AF Res. Following his military service, Duane came back to Harrington to join Otto Timm & Sons to farm. When Otto died in 1963, Duane and his brother Bob continued to grow their farming operation, adding acreage, and eventually creating farm corporations. Duane was always on the hunt for ways to improve farming, and he encouraged young people to come work in harvest, including two college students from Denmark in the early '60s. Harvest helped many students pay for college. People in Lincoln County may remember his farm vehicles painted a particular 'baby blue' color that he loved, it became known as Timmco Blue to the family. Duane was an active member of the Harrington community, working with his friends to rejuvenate the town. Early on he played, coached and refereed many town team sports. Duane was an active longtime member of the Lions Club. Like his dad, Duane placed a high value on education, and served on the Harrington School Board for many years to ensure that local students would get a quality education. Duane had a great sense of humor, a mischievous streak, and a fondness for boating. He and Dona enjoyed many years of fun at their summer house near Porcupine Bay on the Spokane River with family and friends. They also enjoyed many trips to various destinations with close friends. He enjoyed convertible cards in his younger years and driving his pickup around the countryside during his farming days. He loved his mom's fried chicken, which Dona mastered, and even in his last months, his affinity for chocolate was intact. Shortly into their transition out of farming, Duane suffered a severe stroke, but his hard work at St Luke's rehab made it possible for him to get back to tinkering on the farm. He worked to maintain his level of fitness, while also treating an aortic aneurysm. When a fall at home broke his hip, back into rehab Duane went. Again, his determination and grit enable him to recover to a 'pre-fall' level. Duane, Don and their dear dog O'Dang then moved into the Evergreen Fountains retirement community in Spokane Valley. It was only the second time in their marriage that they'd been away from Harrington, but they both enjoyed their new place, being with old friends at Evergreen-and meeting new ones. Duane enjoyed the exercise classes available at the facility. A generous and good man, he loved his family dearly, and always enjoyed visits from his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and nieces. Duane is survived by his wife of nearly 6 years, Dona, Spokane Valley; son Jay (Susie), Oak Harbor; daughters Tracy (Mike)Rush, Pasco, and Shan (Kevin) Hayes, Harrington; and son-in-law Art Hatten, Harrington; ten grandchildren, and three great granddaughters. He was preceded in death by beloved daughter Holly and baby son Barry, his two brothers and, of course, his parents. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, Feb 18, 2018 at 11 a.m. in the Fourth Floor Chapel at Evergreen Fountains, 1201 N Evergreen Rd. Spokane Valley." (Spokesman Review)
