Allen Ehlert Obituary
Allen earned his angel wings as the result of a tragic bike accident May 26. Riding his electric bike was something he loved so dearly, but sadly took him away from us too soon.
Visitation was 3-8 p.m. Tuesday, June 10, at Heritage Hall in St. Joseph and an hour prior to the Mass June 11. Parish prayers were at 7 p.m. Burial will take place after the Mass in the parish cemetery.
Allen was born April 5, 1942, in St. Wendell Township to Hiliarian and Theresa (Schwieters) Ehlert. He proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1964-1967. He married Patricia (Rieland) Hiltner Aug. 8, 1970, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Freeport. Allen worked as a welder at Park Industries for 41 years.
He was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in St. Joseph, Knights of Columbus, St. Joseph Snow Joes and the St. Joe Rod & Gun Club.
He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. After his retirement he enjoyed tinkering in the garage, fixing old bikes, mowing lawns and watching documentaries on his computer. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family, listening to old stories, telling jokes, traveling, camping, fishing and snowmobiling.
He is survived by his wife, Pat, of St. Joseph; children Mark Hiltner (Sara Anderson) of Richmond, Scott (Cindy) Hiltner of St. Cloud, Thomas (Cecilia) Hiltner of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, Cory (Julie) Ehlert of St. Joseph and Shannon (Jeff) Nied of St. Michael; siblings Karen (Melvin) Goebel of Freeport, LuAnn (Ron) Goebel of Albany, David (Rosie) Ehlert of Freeport, Jan (Ralph) Boeckers of St. Cloud and Mary Kay (Eric) Evans of Buffalo; 16 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, daughter Susan Hiltner, son Richard Hiltner and grandson Mitchel Hiltner.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the family for a bench in Allen's memory along the Lake Wobegon Trail.
Arrangements are being made by Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Home in St. Cloud.
