Obituary for Donald B Ahrns
Donald Bernard Ahrns went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on Friday, April 18, 2014 at Island Hospital in Anacortes, Washington. He was born June 16, 1913 to William and Ethel Ahrns in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in Deshler, Ohio. He was the oldest of three sons.
On July 1, 1939, he married Bernice Butler. They had been married 72 years when she passed away at age 96 in 2011. They had three children: Bob (deceased), Judi and Nancy.
Don was the manager of Deshler Farmers Elevator until 1949 when he bought the Milford Grain and Feed Company in Milford, Indiana. He and Bernice were active members of the Milford United Methodist Church until 2008, when they moved to Sugar Land, Texas to live with Nancy and her husband Mike Treesh. He continued to be actively involved in church in both Texas and Washington. Don was a member of the Kosciusko County Indiana Area Planning Commission for 40 years and active in community affairs in Milford. He enjoyed gardening, golf, walking, traveling, and playing cards, especially Euchre, in his later years. Don was always interested in how things work and learning new things. He enjoyed reading and writing letters even into his 100th year.
He is survived by his daughters, Judi (Jack) Ulery, Coupeville, WA and Nancy (Mike-deceased) Treesh, Sugar Land, TX, daughter-in-law, Kay Ahrns, Nappanee, IN, six grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Also surviving is his sister-in-law, Marybelle Butler and many nieces and nephews.
Don was a kind, fun-loving man whose family remembers how he loved and enjoyed time with them. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and will be greatly missed.
No services are being planned at this time. Family and friends are encouraged to share memories and condolences at www.whidbeymemorial.com.
