Mr. Donald William Hartman, 82 of Hazel, KY, passed away Tuesday, October 28, 2025, Baptist Health in Paducah, KY.
Born June 2, 1943, in Grand Haven, MI, Donald was the son of the late Donald Levi Hartman and Margaret (Molengraf) Hartman. Immediately following his marriage to Judy Mitchell in 1966, Donald was drafted into the United State Army where he served honorably, being stationed in Ft. Carson, CO. After his service, he and Judy left Ft. Carson and settled in Grand Junction, CO, owning and operating the Yuill Tree Christmas Shop for 14 years. Wanting to be closer to their children, Donald and Judy later moved to Murray, where he worked for Walmart until his retirement. Donald was also a member of the American Legion Post.
