Thomas Dahlinghaus

Thomas B. Dahlinghaus, age 86, of Burkettsville, died on Thursday, September 30, 2021, at Lutheran Hospital in Ft. Wayne.

He was born October 19, 1934, in Cranberry Prairie to the late John & Josephine (Hoying) Dahlinghaus. On July 9, 1960, he married Mary Alice (Schwieterman) Dahlinghaus and she survives in Burkettsville.

Tom is also survived by children: Marilyn Weber of Muncie, IN, Joyce & Eugene Brackman of Maria Stein, and Larry Dahlinghaus and special friend Kellee Merkel of Burkettsville. He is also survived by grandchildren, Barbara Weber, Elizabeth & Caleb Nolin, Suzanne Weber, Krista & Christopher Coats, John & Claire Brackman, Diane & Sam Hoying, Adam Brackman, Gary Brackman and fiancé Hannah Wendel, and Theresa Brackman and special friend Colt Houston, great grandchildren Alexis, Brooklyn, and Silas Coats, Dominic Brackman, Henry, Marcus, and Natalie Hoying, and siblings and in-laws, Rosemary Poeppelman, Martha Thieman, Andy Dahlinghaus, Ralph & Anna Lee Dahlinghaus, Mary Ann Heckman, and Mary Louise Dahlinghaus.

Tom worked at Minster Farmers for 42 years hauling feed, and he hauled milk on the weekends for 55 years for Larger Brothers in Ft. Loramie and later B.J. Kaiser in Burkettsville.
