Ada Jill Hargrove

   Ada Jill Hargrove was born November 7, 1952 to Harold and Betsy Weber of Carlton, Washington, and entered into rest on  February 13, 2022 following a determined struggle with cancer. She joined her brother John (Sharyl), her sister, Amy Jo (Bill), and her brother Jay at Libby Creek Ranch, and then moved with her family to Grand Coulee, Washington on her first birthday in 1953 where she attended school.  She graduated Grand Coulee High School with the Class of 1970 and was crowned Miss Grand Coulee for that year.

     In March 13 of 1971, she married Robert R. Hargrove at Coulee Dam, Washington and as he completed his studies at Western Conservative Baptist Seminary, she embarked on a career in telecommunications with AT&T in Vancouver, Washington which led eventually to her own advertising business in Spokane, Washington.  She combined her career with being a full-time minister’s wife, serving congregations in Washougal, Tacoma, Electric City, Spokane and Otis Orchards, all in Washington state. 

     Her interests were varied and her organizational skills were legend, but none distracted from her centered concern for family and friends.  Her children were never out of her thoughts and efforts, nor were they far from her conversation.   She was an accomplished horsewoman; an enthusiastic golfer; an unparalleled cat and dog whisperer and shared these times and talents with her children and grand children.  She was also ready to share pictures of these times with anyone who would care to glance toward one of her letters or emails.

     She would have us all remember that to go from the arms of a loving family to the arms of a loving God is not a bad thing. 

     Ada is survived by her husband, Bob, at the home;  a son, Reed and a daughter Jessica (Lance Peterson); two grand daughters, Jocelyn and Jillian; one grand son, Shane, residing in Otis Orchards and Greenacres,WA; and by her two brothers John, of Independence, Oregon, and Jay of Mansfield, Washington.  She was preceded in death by her parents and by her sister Amy Jo Tattersall. 

  A private service will be held Friday, March 4, with a memorial reception following at CenterPlace in the Spokane Valley from 2p-5p. Please join us there to celebrate and remember Ada. To share memories of Ada and leave condolences for the family, please visit Ada's Tribute Wall
