Doris F. Karhoff

Doris F. Karhoff, 68, of Glandorf, passed away at 8:45 p.m. Monday, May 26, 2025, at The Meadows of Leipsic. She was born May 23, 1957, in Lima, to the late Ralph and Alice (Fuerst) Niese. On June 23, 1979, she married Duane Karhoff, who survives in Glandorf.

Other survivors include two children, Laura (Greg) Schulte of Ottawa and Erica (Derek) Maas of Leipsic; five grandchildren, Garrett and Owen Schulte, Jacquelyn, Lyndi, and Abram Maas; three siblings, Diane (Dan) Zeisloft of Leipsic, Duane Niese of Ottawa, and Doyle (Sue) Niese of Leipsic; a sister-in-law, Lois Niese of Leipsic; and in-laws: Bev (Paul) Bockrath of Cincinnati, Denny (Joan) Karhoff, Ron (Sandy) Karhoff, both of Ottawa and Annette Karhoff of Lima.

She was also preceded in death by a sister, Phyllis Niese; a brother, David Niese; brother-in-law, Bill Karhoff; and a dear friend, Mary Kay Weis.

Doris was a 1975 graduate of Leipsic High School and would gather for luncheons with some of her former classmates every chance she got. She was the supply manager and pricing coordinator at Community Market in Bluffton and a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Glandorf. Doris loved going on long drives with her husband, Duane. She enjoyed playing board games with her grandkids and especially loved spending time with them at Christmas. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
