Joseph Thomas Morman

 

Joseph Thomas Morman died at home peacefully in the presence of loved ones and caregivers on  Sunday, April 3, 2022, concluding a long and blessed life focused on serving others.

Joe was born on  September 22, 1929 in Miller City, OH. He was the youngest of 11 children born to Joseph Anthony and  Gertrude (Schmenk) Morman. He was preceded in death by all his siblings: Fr. Edmund, Adolf, Mildred  (Sr. Damien), Ruth (Sr. Anita), Fr. Richard, Fr. Wilbert, Mary, Rita (Sr. Gertrude), Theresa (Sr. Jovita), and  Vincent.
 

Before completing his studies to become a missionary priest, Joe reconsidered his vocation and chose to be open to married life. This also opened him to an invitation to join the US Army where he was stationed in Hawaii to "guard the pineapples from friendly forces.” It was during this time that Joe met  the love of his life, Rosemary (Ellerbrock), to whom he was married for 50 years. They soon settled in Marion for the rest of their lives.

Joe’s life can be summed up by the words of service and love for God and man. He was a teacher at heart and influenced the lives of numerous young adults. He taught math at Pleasant High School and was the work/study coordinator at the high schools of Crawford County. Joe also taught and influenced  the rehabilitation of inmates for decades at Marion Correctional Institution until he was “let out for  good behavior.” Joe also felt called to work with those with developmental disabilities and was instrumental in the establishment of MARCA industries.  

Joe was also a faithful servant in the practice of his Catholic faith. As a longtime member of St Mary  Parish, he was a Eucharistic Minister, sang in the choir, and a member of the 4^th degree of the Knights of  Columbus. His retirement was filled with numerous other church activities, visits to nursing homes, and volunteering for Hospice, St Vincent de Paul, and the Marion Council on Aging. In his precious free time,  Joe loved playing cards with several card clubs, fishing, and gardening. With a positive attitude to the end, Joe wished to brighten everyone’s day and was always ready to give and receive jokes.
 

Joe’s examples of love and service will never be forgotten by his family. He is survived by 7 children:  James Morman (Jeri), John Morman (Susan), Richard Morman (Suzanne), Joseph Morman (Michelle), Sherri Schlitt (Dan), Steven Morman (Lisa), and Mark Morman (Theresa) as well as 24 grandchildren:  

Victor Morman (Amy), Rosemary Bidlin (Dominik), Laura Morman, John Morman (Leah), Joseph  Morman, Emily Hickey (Christopher), Sean Morman, Timothy Morman, Jeffrey Morman (Anne Foos),  Brian Morman (Annie Allen), AnneMarie Morman, Christopher Morman (Shannon), Alayna Hall  (Benjamin), Victoria Barenz (Andrew), Jacob Morman, Danny Schlitt, Anthony Schlitt, Thomas Schlitt,  Bobby Schlitt, Ava Morman, Alyssa Morman, Erin Morman, PJ Morman, and Charlie Morman; and 4  great-grandchildren: Jack Morman, Eleanor Morman, Cary Hickey, and Cora Barenz.

He was preceded in death by his wife Rosemary and 1 grandchild Michael Morman.
 

Visitation will be held at Snyder Funeral Homes, Gunder/Hall Chapel (347 West Center St., Marion, Ohio) on Sunday, April 10, 2022 from 2 until 5 pm with a Rosary Service at 4:45 pm.  A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Mary Church, Marion (251 N.
