Donald C. Yuhasey

Donald was born on March 25, 1929, in Iron Mountain, son of the late William and Edna (Johnson) Yuhasey. Don was a resident of this area his entire life and a 1947 graduate of Iron Mountain High School.

He married Elaine Carlson on Nov. 4, 1950, in Iron Mountain. Don was inducted into the U.S. Marine Corps in February 1952 and was stationed in Japan during the Korean War. He was honorably discharged in February 1954.

After his return from the service, he began a long career as a carpenter for Carpenters Union Local 955. He retired in 1993 but remained a member of the union for longer than 65 years.

He also was a member of the Uren-Cooper-Johnson American Legion Post 50 in Iron Mountain and enjoyed volunteering at the annual Pine Mountain Ski Jumps. Don loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. The family will cherish memories from time spent at the family camp.
