Litwiller, Carl Edit page

Carl Duane Litwiller, age 85, of Sumner, Michigan went to his heavenly home on January 22, 2024 at Green Acres Assisted Living of Ionia.

Carl was born in New Haven Township on February 28, 1938, to Gladwin and Merita (Peters) Litwiller. Carl was married to Letha Joan Haynes on October 19, 1956. They shared forty- three years together until her passing in January 2000. Carl then married Rose Marie Hinton on January 7, 2001. They shared twenty- three years together.  Carl was a lifelong farmer along with his son and son-in-law. He loved working the land but also loved soaring through the air flying over and checking on crops. He enjoyed traveling and camping and spent many winters in Florida making life-long friendships. He was a man of few words with a big heart and determined spirit.

Left to cherish Carl’s memory are his wife of 23 years, Rose Marie; children Kirk (Yvonne) Litwiller, Karla Davis, Jantha (Joseph) Rosencrans, Brenda (Daniel) Maas, and William (Lisa) Hinton; 15 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; brothers Kenneth and Leonard Litwiller; and many nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Eldon and Lynn Litwiller; and sister Onalee Putnam.

Those we love don’t go away.

They walk beside us

Everyday, unseen, unheard,

But always near

Still loved,

Still missed,

But very dear
