Houck Family Services

02/14/2026

With love being foremost on everyone’s mind today we thought it was only appropriate to pay respects to the love story that inspired our company. Marilyn and Harry Houck were married for 49 years, spending each moment with their beautiful blended family of 5 children. This loving home held many cherished memories such a Harry routinely singing Kiss an Angel Good Morning by Charlie Pride to his beloved. Harry owning a construction company for 46 years, decided to retire in order to spend more time with Marilyn. They both remained valued members of the community Harry, a veteran, and Marilyn never missed the opportunity to serve every election as a poll worker. They also both enjoyed serving their church. Even in death they remained connected as they passed a mere 19 days apart. They passed surrounded by their children , Houck Family caregivers, and the incredible Grane Hospice Group. Each day is a little bit emptier without their joyful presence, but we strive to keep their memory and love alive every day in the homes and hearts of each of our clients.
