Washington - David Dollarhide, born in Corvallis, Oregon, on November 12, 1935, was the fourth of seven children. Raised in a family led by a Pentecostal evangelist, David experienced frequent moves during his upbringing.

After graduating from the University of Washington in 1960 with a degree in Civics, David embarked on a fulfilling career in education. He began teaching at Olympic View Jr. High School, and in 1972 started teaching at Mariner High School the year it opened. His career spanned 35 years with the Mukilteo School District, teaching history, social studies, and cartography. He also led the Humanities Department at Mariner High School until his retirement in 1995. David possessed strong musical talent, singing bass, directing church choirs, and playing the trombone. He also had a passion for coaching tennis, leading the Mariner High School tennis team to multiple 2nd place state awards. In retirement, David's craftsmanship and skills remained in demand, leading to a thriving business based on word-of-mouth referrals. Together with his wife Ginger, he designed and built a three-story home with two turrets and an elevator on Lake Ketchum in 1995.

David is survived by his brother Bill Dollarhide; daughters, Crystal Guderian (Jeff), Wenda Zonnefeld (Rick), and Meredith Cotton (Robert). Tragically, his son Michael Dollarhide was lost in an avalanche in 2001. David and Ginger remained inseparable until their passing, they are now reunited in heaven, exploring new destinations together.

There will be a double memorial service for both David and also his wife Virginia "Ginger" Dollarhide, who passed a few weeks before David.

The joint Memorial Service for both David and Ginger Dollarhide will take place at 2:00 PM, Saturday, April 6, 2024 at the Woodinville Community Church, 17110 140th Ave NE, Woodinville, WA 98072.
