Thomas Sanderell
Thomas Stephen Sanderell, 91, of Fort Recovery, Ohio, passed away on Saturday, May 15, 2021, at Briarwood Village in Coldwater.
He was born on May 18, 1929, in Fort Recovery to the late Adolph and Ida (Reinhard) Sanderell.
Thomas was the last of his immediate family. He is survived by many nieces and nephews; numerous great- and great-great-nieces and great- and great-great-nephews; and friends.
In addition to his parents, Thomas was preceded in death by his five sisters, Regina (Walter) Forthoefer, Emma (Linus) Hart, Matilda Sanderell, Monica (Herbert) Rammel, and Bertha Sanderell; and his three brothers, William, Norbert and Leo Sanderell.
Thomas was a 1947 graduate of Fort Recovery High School. After school, Thomas joined the United States Army, where he served his country honorably during the Korean War.
Thomas was a lifelong farmer. He enjoyed raising crops and tending to his livestock. He was a lifelong member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in St. Joe. Thomas was a charter member of the Fort Recovery Knights of Columbus, and a part of the Fort Recovery and Holy Name Society of the church.
After retiring from farming, Thomas and his sister, Bertha, became world travelers and traveled to all seven continents.
Thomas will be remembered for his love and generosity to his beloved community and various organizations in Fort Recovery and the surrounding area. From St. Joseph Catholic Church to Mercer Health Hospital, Thomas’ legacy will live on forever.
To honor Thomas’ wishes, there will be no visitation. Family and friends were invited to attend a public Mass of Christian Burial that took place this morning at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1689 St. Joe Road, Fort Recovery, Ohio, with Father Ned Brown officiating. Burial followed in the church cemetery.
Brockman-Boeckman Funeral Home served Thomas' family.
