Charles Gerald Hart

July 24, 2015

We are sad to announce the passing of Charles Gerald Hart (Gerry) at the age of 77. He passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 24, 2015 at the Merritt Hospital after a long battle with heart disease.

Jerry was born in Armstrong BC on December 23, 1937, moved to Merritt in his early 20’s and has been a long time resident. Jerry is survived by his loving wife Ann (nee Post) of 52 years, daughters Sheila Johnson (Chris) of Merritt, and Donna Bouchard (Gerald) of Vernon; also his siblings George Hart of Kamloops and Laverna West of Kamloops. He will be sadly missed by his beautiful grandchildren Shauna, Kristina, Megan and Brayden. Papa, as he was known to us, will also be missed by his great grandchildren Carter, Benjamin and Kaleb, as well as many nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend a great appreciation to Dr. Van Der Merwe and the staff at the Merritt hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in his name. Merritt Funeral Chapel is entrusted with arrangements and online condolences may be left at www.MerrittFuneralChapel.com
