Mark A. Bohnlein passed away peacefully at the age of 72, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, love, and unwavering devotion. Born in Lima, Ohio, and raised in Delphos, Mark was the son of Joseph and Ella Bohnlein.

Mark dedicated 42 years to Eaton as a quality assurance inspector, embodying integrity and diligence. He was a member of Saint Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church, and his faith was central to his life.
