Edith Johann Obituary
Edith Mae "Edie" Johann, 96, of Deshler, passed away peacefully Tuesday morning, Sept. 6, 2022, in her home surrounded by her children and family.
She was born Oct. 16, 1925, in Seneca County, to the late Albert and Gladys (Stafford) Smith. She married Edwin Johann on Oct. 26, 1946, and they over 60 years together. He preceded her in death Jan. 10, 2007.
Edie graduated from Milton Township High School and along with her husband, Ed, they owned and operated the former Old Dutch Inn of Westhope. She also worked at the former Sherwin-Williams/Deshler Products for over 20 years.
She was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Deshler, and Deshler American Legion Post #316 Auxiliary. In her spare time, Edie loved to play Bingo and was a member of several ladies bowling leagues over the years. She enjoyed reading, crocheting afghans, and baking cookies. For all her family functions, she was always responsible for the potato salad and jello cups.
Most of all, Edie was about family. She was a true matriarch and she loved and cared for everyone. Nothing pleased her more than the happiness of others.
She is survived by her four children, Linda (Tim) Jackson, Charles "Joe" Johann (Angie Lause), Mary Kaufman (Craig Mabe), and Deanna "Dee Dee" (Bill) Spraw; 11 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.
