Barton P. North passed away peacefully on January 11, 2016 in Salt Lake City.
Bart was born July 14, 1925 to Perry Davies North and Lula Wright in Charleston. He was raised in Charleston with his older brother, Max, and his younger sister, Betty.
Bart was a member of the "Greatest Generation," and served honorably in the Navy during WWII on the USS Tennessee.
After his military service, he married his childhood sweetheart, Wilma Edwards. They started and raised their family of five children in Salt Lake City.
Bart's career was as a department manager at Mountain Bell. He was a handyman, inventor, tinkerer, builder, gardener, decorator, baker, musician, master tailor, and artist. Many of his beautiful paintings hang in the homes of friends and family and will remain a living legacy.
Bart had the blessing of marriage to two amazing women in his life. His first wife, Wilma (Willie), passed away in 1984. He later married Arba Hale Black, who passed away in 2006.
Bart was a beloved bishop of the Parleys First Ward from 1973-1977. He and Willie raised their family and lived out their lives in the home Bart designed and built in 1965, in what he called, "The Best Neighborhood on Earth." Bart loved his neighbors and always welcomed them into the neighborhood with a pie or some delicious treat.
William Wordsworth's saying, "The best portion of a good man's life is his little nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love," is still taped to his mirror to remind him daily of his dedication to serve others. We will miss his adventurous, charming, vibrant, and gracious spirit.
Preceded in death by his parents, Perry and Lula North; Wilma Edwards, Arba Hale Black, brother, Max North; and son-in-law, Jack Walker. Survived by Bart's sister, Betty Orgill; Bart and Wilma's five children, Paula Walker, Ruth Ann North, Robert (Kim) North, Michelle (Ron) Thomas, and Laurel North; eleven grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 16, 2016 in the the Parleys First Ward Chapel, 2350 South 2100 East. Viewing services will be held from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Friday, January 15, 2016 at Larkin Sunset Lawn Mortuary, 2350 East 1300 South, as well as at the church on the day of the funeral from 10:30-11:45 a.m.
