Bert Haunhorst

Bert Haunhorst, 90, of Delphos, passed away Wednesday, March 11, 2020, at Vancrest Health Care Center in Delphos.

Bert Haunhorst

She was born July 30, 1929, at home in Middle Point, the daughter of Walter and Mable (Sterling) Knittle, who both preceded her in death. On August 37, 1949, she married Robert Haunhorst, who died December 6, 2013.

She is survived by a daughter, Tonya (Mike) Bohyer of Elida; one son, Jay (Sharon) Haunhorst of Carthage, North Carolina; five grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and a daughter-in-law, Louise Haunhorst.

A son, Michael Haunhorst; three sisters, and one brother, also preceded her in death.

She was a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Delphos. She was a homemaker, and a 1948 graduate of Lincolnview High School. Her family always came first; she truly enjoyed spending as much time with them as she could. She also enjoyed camping, fishing, playing cards with friends, and she loved to bake — especially cookies. Bert also loved animals and enjoyed feeding the local wildlife.

A funeral mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Monday, March 16, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. Burial will follow in Resurrection Cemetery in Delphos. Visitation is from 4-7 p.m. Sunday, March 15, at Harter and Schier Funeral Home in Delphos, where a parish wake will be held at 6:30 that evening. 

Preferred memorials: St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or Equestrian Therapy.
