The children and grandchildren of Judge Dar and Joann Spencer Cogswell are pleased to announce the couple’s 70th wedding anniversary.

Dar and Joann were united in marriage at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Coeur d’Alene, on Aug. 26, 1950.

The couple raised their children in Sandpoint, where their love for each other made a lasting impact on their family and their friends.

Joann was a surgical nurse, and Dar practiced as an attorney and a district court judge. In their retirement years they experienced much joy in traveling extensively with their good friends in their RVs.

“Congratulations, Mom and Dad, on 70 years of marriage and for setting an extraordinary example of lifelong love,” the couple’s children and grandchildren said.
