Duane Sorrell Obituary
Duane W. Sorrell of Wauseon, Ohio passed away February 15, 2018 at Ebeid Hospice Residence in the presence of his loving family.
Duane was born to Lindsey and Ruth (née Zoeller) Sorrell in New Castle, Indiana on September 27, 1940. He was the youngest of three children. Duane graduated from Lincoln High School in Cambridge City, IN. After high school, Duane graduated from Elkhart University as a medical technologist. Duane's three children are from his first marriage to June Lord Sorrell. Duane entered the US Army where he served as a medic for 2 years. After his service, Duane worked at both Parkview Hospital and Flower Hospital which is where he met his beloved wife, Dorothy. Duane and Dorothy were married on August 9, 1980. He later retired from Flower Hospital after 37 years.
Duane brought light and love to every situation. His deep faith in God guided him through life. Some of his hobbies included working in his wood shop, riding his John Deer tractor, shooting targets, traveling, solving crossword puzzles, collecting vintage signs, and eating every pie you could think of. His catch phrase "I like pie" will live on with his family.
Duane was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Carolyn, and his grandson, Joshua. Duane leaves behind his wife, Dorothy; his sister, Dolores; children, Robert (Beth) Sorrell, Bradley (Kerri) Sorrell, and Jennifer (Todd) Kunkel; and his grandchildren, Nicholas, Sarah, Jessica, Rachel, and Megan.
