WOONSOCKET — Victor Fuhrman, 94 of Woonsocket, formerly of Emery, passed away at the Prairie View Care Center in Woonsocket  Sunday, June 3, 2018.
His Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:30 a.m., Thursday, June 7, at Holy Trinity Catholic Parish with Military Honors by Huron Veteran’s Council. Burial will be in St. Mary of Mercy Calvary Cemetery in Alexandria.
Victor Andrew Fuhrman was born on September 23, 1923, to Joseph and Amelia (Loos) Fuhrman in Parkston. Victor entered the United States Army in 1945, and served in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre and was honorably discharged.
Victor married Marie Kane in Platte  April 19, 1949. They lived on the family farm west of Parkston until March 1959, when they moved to a farm south of Alexandria and lived there until February 1981. They then moved to a farm closer to Emery.
Victor cared for Marie for many years before she passed away in 2007. He moved to Huron then to be closer to family. He entered Prairie View Care Center in December 2017.
 Victor was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church and the American Legion. He was able to visit Washington D.C. on the Honor Flight to see the World War II Memorial.
After retirement from farming, Victor began to create farm machinery out of cardboard, earning him a front-page story in the local paper. Many friends and family members have received his creative gifts.
 He was preceded in death by his wife, Marie and daughter, Marlys Stern in 2002; and his siblings, Francis, Katherine (Andy), Theresa (Leonard), Helen (Paul), and Josephine (Joe).
 He is survived by his son, David (Diane) Fuhrman of Huron; two grandsons, Andrew (Lauriann) Fuhrman of Pierre; Brian (Rachel) Fuhrman of Huron; five great-grandchildren, Kaley, Breckon, Aidan, Brylee, and Chance; and son-in-law, Dale Stern; as well as many nieces and nephews.
