Paul Lehman Obituary
Paul L. Lehman, 94, passed away peacefully Friday, Aug. 5, 2022, at Hubbard Hill Healthcare. Paul was a man of faith and will be remembered for his love of family, positive outlook on life, his laughter and playing games.
Paul was born March 27, 1928, in Elkhart County to Wilbur and Pearl (Ganger) Lehman. On June 22, 1947 he married Mary Alice Long in Nappanee. They recently celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary.
Mary Alice survives along with their children, Kathy (Duane) Beck, Dick (Jolene Bontrager) Lehman, and Chuck (Becka Leinbach) Lehman; five grandchildren, Andy (Julie) Lehman, Heather Beck, Emily (Steve) Burgess, Scott (Hannah) Lehman, and Brent (Rosie Kimball) Lehman; 13 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
He is also survived by a sister, Marilyn (Lewis) Hochstedler.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Arlene (Bob) Mast, a great-grandchild, and a great-great-grandchild.
Paul's lifetime career in sales spanned furniture sales, Fuller Brush and DuMor, and provided a wide circle of acquaintances over the years. He and Mary Alice have enjoyed their years at Hubbard Hill and have deeply appreciated the care Paul received during these last weeks through Goshen Hospice and at Hubbard Hill Healthcare.
Paul loved having campfires with family and friends over the years, sharing stories, laughter, mini candy bars and peanuts. He was an avid reader and developed computer skills as technology became prevalent. He was a member at Belmont Mennonite Church and has appreciated the many expressions of care from the congregation.
Visitation will begin Wednesday, Aug. 10, at 9:30 a.m. at Belmont Mennonite Church, Elkhart, where an 11 a.m. funeral service will be conducted. Pastors Amanda Yoder and Phil Schmidt will officiate.
Burial will follow at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at Violett Cemetery, Goshen.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to REST Ministries/Shepherd's Gate, Goshen Home Care and Hospice, Hubbard Hill Estates or Belmont Mennonite Church.
