Melvin Giesler Obituary
Melvin was a life-long farmer, investing much of his free time into managing the family farm, which to "Mel" was always more of a hobby than work. He enjoyed passing time on the farm alongside his brother, son, and grandson and the animals they collectively cared for. He was also a member of SCRAP, and was known to make multiple appearances at the summer SCRAP show in Gibsonburg, often to show his prized historic tractor. Melvin also enjoyed traveling the world and had the pleasure of making new memories with his wife, children and grandchildren on five of the seven continents. While he enjoyed visiting far-flung places, he had a special appreciation for home, having been a lifelong resident of Elmore, loyal patron of Tina's Country Market and The Village Inn, and a proud Woodmore sports supporter.
Survivors include his wife of 61 years, Diane of Elmore; children: Joanne (James) Treece and Kevin (Laurene) Giesler, both of Elmore, OH; grandchildren: Amanda (Sam) Stefanak, Courtney Hefflinger, Rebecca (Seth) Arnold, Lindsay & Daniel Giesler; great-grandchildren: Owen & Caroline Arnold; and brother Carlton Giesler of Perrysburg, OH.
Visitation will be Friday from 2-8pm at Crosser & Priesman Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Elmore-Genoa Chapel. Funeral Services will begin at 11am on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at the Funeral Home with Pastor Rob Rakay officiating. Burial will be in Harris-Elmore Union Cemetery, Elmore. Memorial Contributions may be made to Humane Society of Ottawa County
