Jon W. Nonnemaker, 78, of Bradner, passed away peacefully Tuesday, March 29, 2022, surrounded by his loving family at Bridge Hospice Care Center, Bowling Green. He was born Feb. 28, 1944, in Wayne, to John H. and Alice M. (Beightol) Nonnemaker. Jon married Carolyn Stinehart Oct. 5, 1963, at Wayne Church of Christ. Jon is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Carolyn; son, Bryon (Jane) Nonnemaker of Fostoria; two daughters, Lori A. Nonnemaker of Toledo and Jody K. Wolfe of Bowling Green; brother, Noel (Shirley) Nonnemaker of Tiffin; two sisters, Mimi Schroeder of Wayne and Esther (Roy) Schroeder of Lima; brother-in-law, Marvin (Marilyn) Stinehart; sister-in-law, Faye (Ray Johnston) Stinehart; eight grandchildren, Megan, Breanne, Rick, Kyle, Travis, Erica, Kyle, and Kasey; eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Alice; three sisters, Nancy, Janet, and Jane; and grandson, Seth. Jon was a 1962 graduate of Elmwood High School and then worked many years as a laborer and furnace operator at the former Brush Wellman, now known as Materion. He was a member of Wayne United Methodist Church and among many hobbies over the years, he enjoyed tinkering in his garage, was an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan, and had a passion for music. In his earlier years, Jon played drums in the local Rhythm Rascals Band and he also had a love for playing the Jew's Harp, which he took with him everywhere he went. Jon will always be remembered for his humble "it is what it is" attitude and great outlook on life. He was always able to brighten every bad situation and could put a smile on anyone's face. A private celebration of life service will take place at a later date. All arrangements have been entrusted to Barndt Funeral Home, Wayne. Memorial donations may be made to Bridge Hospice.
