Ronald Brauneller Obituary

Ronald Earl Brauneller

Ronald Earl Brauneller, 84, of Rawson, passed away Friday, Sept. 9, 2022, at Promedica Toledo Hospital following a short illness but not COVID!! Ron was born March 18, 1938, to Samuel and Rhoda (Marquart) Brauneller at Bluffton Hospital in Bluffton.

Ron attended Arlington Local School and then served his country in U.S. Army in the Tank Armor Division entering in as Elvis left the building. In 1963, he started his career at Triplett Corporation, Bluffton, as a tool and die machinist for 43 years until they no longer needed his service.

Ron married Charlotte (Howell) Brauneller on July 1, 1964, and she survives. He is also survived by daughters, Robin (Douglas) Culver of Findlay and Penny (Allen) Gary of Rawson; grandson, Anthony Culver; four granddaughters, Amanda Conley, Ashley Howard, Meagan Hammer, and Rachel Tagoe. He was a very proud great-grandfather to 12 beautiful great-grandchildren and one on the way. Ron is also survived by three sisters, Diane Malz of Kentucky, Mary Brown of Rawson, and Karen Hartman of Findlay.

Ron was known for his quick wit and sense of humor, love for his family, and his cat, Lucy. He took pride in his yard work and mowed with a push mower until the age of 83 years young. Ron was also a member of Black Swamp Muzzleloader Club in the 1970s and every Sunday was a family get-together racing go-carts and mini bikes or a sing along on the front porch. He was our knight in shining armor during the "Blizzard of 78" and taught us all how important family is.

Ron was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Wilma Kinn; and niece, Rose (Dave) Devore.
