Marvin Adolph Hardegger, 90

Marvin A. Hardegger went to be with the Lord on Oct. 12, 2025, in Sandpoint, Idaho, surrounded by his family and friends.

Marvin had an amazing and full life. He was born Nov. 17, 1934 in Woodland, Wash., to Joseph and Minnie Hardegger. Marvin grew up on a farm with his parents and two brothers, Richard and Ernie. Marvin had so many stories and fond memories of growing up and he spoke about them often. 

Marvin then joined the Army and served most of his time in Germany. After being discharged from the service, he married and had his only son, Jeff Hardegger. Jeff will always treasure the road trips, camping and memories with his father — a father who was always there for his son.

Marvin settled in Sandpoint and became an engineer for the U.S. Forest Service. He loved his job and all the wonderful people he got to work with each day. 

Marvin then married Betty Hiatt, the love of his life who he spent an amazing 44 years with. They enjoyed their time together, traveling, skiing, hiking, training dogs and of course renovating their homes and doing landscaping projects.

Marvin is survived by his wife, Betty Hardegger; his son, Jeff Hardegger; his brothers, Richard Hardegger and Ernie Hardegger; his grandchildren, Taylor Hardegger and Carson Hardegger; and his stepchildren, Kim Mitchell, Russ Hiatt, Angie Rutherford and Nicole Jeffres.

Marvin will be greatly missed by his family and friends but we all know this is not goodbye, just see you soon.

A celebration will be planned for family and friends at a later date.

Family and friends are invited to sign Marvin's online guest book at coffeltfuneral.com.

Arrangements are under the care of Coffelt Funeral Service.
