Marvin Mahlman Obituary
Marvin Martin "Butch" Mahlman, 78, of Deshler, passed away Friday night, May 26, 2023, at Wood County Hospital, Bowling Green.
He was born Sept. 29, 1944, in Hamler, to Frederick and Edna (Seemann) Mahlman, the youngest of seven children.
Marv was a 1963 graduate of Deshler High School. Throughout high school, he worked for the late Paul "Shakey" Wensink and shortly after graduation, he married his high school sweetheart and classmate, Edna (Cunningham) Mahlman, on Feb. 22, 1964. They shared over 59 years of true love and friendship.
He worked at the former Metal Forge plant in Deshler and then took a job at Ball Metal, Findlay. He worked there for over 32 years and retired in 2006 as a tool room supervisor.
Marv was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Deshler, and social member at Deshler American Legion Post #316. He enjoyed camping for over 50 years at Lucy's 22 on the Maumee River. Here, he enjoyed playing cards with his late friend, Cully Spurgeon, or being social and having a cold beverage with his many friends. Green Bay Packers, playing Keno, watching NASCAR, snowmobile trips, and bowling were many of the things that brought him happiness. Most of all, he loved his family and truly wanted the best for them all.
He is survived by his wife, Edna; children, Troy (Sandra) Mahlman and Marla Hawkins (David Shank); grandchildren, Austin Mahlman, MacKenzie (Casey) Edgeman, and Hudson (Saraya) Hawkins; stepgrandson, Nicholas Seedorf; great-grandchildren, Grey, Eleanor, and Ledger; stepgreat-grandchildren, Angelina, Colby, Madison, and Krystian; brothers, Donald Mahlman, and Louis (Rita) Mahlman; sisters, Delores Rickerd and Mary Lou Curtis; and many loving nieces and nephews.
