Marion Aleman

Marion H. Aleman, of Warsaw, went home to be with his Lord on Sunday, April 28, 2024. He passed away at Lutheran Hospital of Fort Wayne. He was a God-fearing man who lived a long and fulfilling life in his 93 years on this Earth.

He was born on Jan. 19, 1931, in Alma, Mich. Marion was one of 11 children born to Perfecta (Hinojosa) Aleman and Martin Aleman. Marion was married on March 23, 1963, to Mary June Shrader. June and Marion just celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. They shared a lifetime of memories, from raising their son, to celebrating the joy of becoming grandparents and great-grandparents.

Marion graduated from Warsaw High School and attended two years at Ferris State College in Michigan. He was great with his hands and had a mind for being able to fix anything. He worked as a mechanic for many years until taking up carpentry. Marion put his carpentry skills to work for Warsaw Community Schools until he retired in 2001. He always had a smiling, friendly face and was always available to help out when he was able to. He loved praising his Lord alongside his church family at Pathway Church in Warsaw. Marion enjoyed the simple things in life, which were also the most important … his family. He was a loving husband, wonderful father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. Marion is now whole again in heaven.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, June Aleman, Warsaw; son, Michael (Cynthia) Aleman, Warsaw; four grandchildren, Jordan Aleman, Hannah (Steven) Jamison, Brittany (Sam) Weaver and Cristiana (Ryan) Riner; and 10 great-grandchildren.
