Theodore Tinklepaugh Obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Theodore E. Tinklepaugh, age 48. Ted was born in Vineland, NJ and has been a resident of Waynesville, NC for over 30 years. He was a loving father, son, brother and friend to everyone he met. His kindness and helpfulness was always extended to anyone who needed it.
Ted was predeceased by his father, Theodore Hickman. He is survived by his children, Angelique Tinklepaugh, Arthur Tinklepaugh and Ted (TJ) Tinklepaugh, his mother, Helen Hickman, sisters: Deborah Becker-Chard (Matthew), Denise Valeri (Lou), and Diani Caranna (Joe); his special friends Austin and Rachel McFalls; as well as many extended family members.
Services are private and there will be a Celebration of Ted's life to be announced at a later date.
