Mary Wilhelm Obituary

Mary Ann Wilhelm

Mary Ann Wilhelm, 91, of Findlay, passed away at 2:15 p.m. Friday, March 1, 2024, at The Heritage Nursing Home, Findlay.

She was born March 8, 1932, in Custar, to Albert and Margaret (Rahrig) Neiling.

Mary Ann was a 1950 graduate of Milton Township High School. She married Richard C. Wilhelm on May 24, 1952, and he preceded her in death Dec. 25, 2020.

Mary Ann was a sweet, gentle, and kind spirit. She enjoyed traveling with her husband and family. She loved to gather with her family and never missed a birthday - making a special personal-sized cake in our favorite flavor! Mary Ann also enjoyed riding her bike 10-20 miles each day - recording 568 miles at age 78! She enjoyed crafts, especially crocheting and macrame. She had several collections, especially dolls and koala bears. Music was so important to Mary Ann. She was always singing and whistling while she worked.

Proverbs 31:28 (NIV) - Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

She is survived by her children, Gary Wilhelm, Kevin Wilhelm, and Brenda (Bryan Sr.) Brigadoi, all of Findlay, and Sharon (Patrick) Corbin of Statesville, North Carolina; grandchildren, Kimberly Wilhelm of Findlay, Christiane Wilhelm of Findlay, Tabatha (David) Fenstermaker of Findlay, Nicholas (Heather) Corbin of McComb, Bryan Brigadoi Jr. of Findlay, Brandon Brigadoi of Newark, Breanne (Logan) Mauk of Bellbrook, Brooke Brigadoi of Cincinnati, and Bridget Brigadoi of Findlay; seven great-grandchildren, Joshua Meeks Jr., Evan Fenstermaker, Ashlynn Fenstermaker, Ellani Corbin, Conner Corbin, Madison Brigadoi, and Emma Mauk; and sister, Cecilia Chamberlain.

Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and two sisters, Helen Wickard and Dorothy Parker.

Visitation will be 4-8 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at Kirkpatrick-Behnke Funeral Home, 500 Lima Avenue, Findlay, Ohio, 45840. Mary Ann's graveside service will be 11 a.m. Thursday, March 7, 2024, at St. Louis Cemetery in Custar.
