Dwight E. Mauer
February 2, 1925-May 18, 2016
Dwight Earl Mauer completed the earthly portion of his life's journey and entered the Heavenly kingdom on May 18, 2016. Dwight was the only child of Jacob and Blanche (Williams) Mauer. After graduation from Whitmer High School he served honorably in the Marines during WWII. Until moving with his wife of nearly 70 years, Esther, to the Lutheran Village at Wolf Creek in Holland, Ohio, he lived, worked and raised two sons, Ken and Keith, in West Toledo. He started his working life delivering newspapers, was trained as a carpenter, and worked for some years in the construction industry. He then held several positions with Washington Local Schools, culminating in being a boiler engineer at the Whitmer High School complex.
A life-long "car guy", after retirement, Dwight enjoyed collecting, repairing and restoring die cast model cars and other vehicles. He always had something to tinker with. For a number of years Dwight enjoyed travelling with family and friends to northern Michigan. He always had an appreciation of good food, with the quest for the perfect pie being a particular focus.
Dwight is survived by and missed by wife Esther, sons Ken (Pat) and Keith (Peggy), grandchildren Juli (Brett), Mindy (Dan) and Katherine (Patrick) and great-grandchildren Lauren, Joshua, Elana and Jordan.
The family would especially like to acknowledge the staff at the Lutheran Village at Wolf Creek for their care and compassion and suggests that any donations be made to the Lutheran Village at Wolf Creek. Consistent with Dwight's wishes there will be no visitation and services will be private.
