HARLAN D. FILLMORE

HARLAND D. FILLMORE 1935-2010 Harlan D. Fillmore, 75, of Twin Falls, passed away December 8, 2010 at his home. Harlan was born in Twin Falls, Idaho May 26, 1935. He was the eldest child of Harold and Lillian Fillmore. He attended schools in Twin Falls, graduating from Twin Falls High School in 1953. He served our country in the Army and was honorably discharged in 1963. He worked for his family at Gem State Oil and eventually became part owner and manager. After several years the company closed and he went to work for Western Farm Service until he retired. He grew up on a farm near Kimberly, Idaho and used that knowledge as an adult to create a bountiful garden and would have a beautiful harvest in the fall. He loved working in his yard work and received many compliments on his "manicured lawn." He also loved the outdoors, whether fishing, hunting, or camping in the woods. He was a volunteer deputy sheriff, an EMT for Magic Valley Regional Medical Center and was involved with Search and Rescue. His favorite memories were made at the cabin in Smiley Creek, camping with his family, and spending time enjoying adventures with his friends. Harlan enjoyed playing golf with his wife and their friends and had many happy times at Canyon Springs golf course. On August 9, 1968 Harlan married Colleen Mary O'Halloran. Together they raised five children. He is survived by his mother, Lillian Fillmore, his wife, Colleen and his three daughters, Shawna Fillmore, Erin O'Halloran and her two daughters Katja and Sofia, and Meghan (Devin) Cecil and their daughter Murphee. He was preceded in death by his father Harold "Red" Fillmore, his brother Norman "Butch" Fillmore, and his two sons, Brent and Kent Fillmore. A Mass will be held Tuesday December 14, 2010 at 10:00 A.M. at St. Edward's Catholic Church in Twin Falls, Idaho.
