Maryon L. Titus, 85, went to be with her Lord and Savior Friday, January 3, 2014 at 8:10 AM in Mason's Health & Rehabilitation, Warsaw, Indiana where she had been a resident for just over a year.
Maryon was born December 21, 1928 and was the only child of Harry L. and Martha M. (White) Circle. She was a 1947 graduate of Warsaw High School. She and Ned C. Titus married July 6th of that year and shared almost 56 years together.
A lifetime resident of Warsaw, Maryon along with her husband, Ned, was a former owner and operator of Titus Funeral Home, Warsaw for nearly 40 years. They worked side by side growing their business with the reputation they earned by truly caring for each family they served.
Maryon was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Warsaw where she enjoyed singing in the choir and with small vocal groups. She served on the missionary committee and joyfully opened her home to missionaries for a place to eat and/or sleep. Years ago in the church as it was downtown, she directed the junior choir and belonged to its ladies circles. Maryon was a past president of Delta Theta Tau Sorority, past Worthy Matron of Order of Eastern Star, was a Rainbow Mom and a member of the DAR. Some will remember that years ago she was a member of the Tuesday Night Drama Club.
As a child Maryon truly was a daddy's girl. She loved to go fishing with him - including ice fishing. She used hot dogs as bait when fishing with her dad on Center Lake. Maryon loved her family. Having everyone together for Christmas was especially important to her. She loved her sons and grandchildren but it was her great grandchildren that she adored. She also loved and spoiled her dog, Teddy, who brought much comfort and love to her after Ned passed away.
She will lovingly be missed by her son and daughter-in-law: Jerry and Kathy Titus, Warsaw; daughter-in-law: Carol Nagel of Ashville, North Carolina; 2 grandchildren and their spouses: Mitch and Jody Titus, Warsaw; and Amber and Kevin Gelbaugh of Winona Lake, Indiana; 4 great grandchildren: Shashawna Titus, Huntington, Indiana; Garrett Titus, Warsaw; Emma Gelbaugh, Winona Lake and Mallory Bowers of Warsaw,
Maryon was preceded in death by and now rejoicing in heaven with her husband, Ned, (June 12, 2003) and her younger son, David M. Titus, (November 12, 1993).
Family and friends will gather for a time of sharing in support of each other Wednesday, January 8th from 2-4 and 6-8 PM at Titus Funeral Home, 2000 E. Sheridan Street, Warsaw. A service celebrating the life of Maryon L. Titus will take place Thursday, January 9th beginning at 10:30 AM in the funeral home. Pastor Steve Peters of First Baptist Church of Warsaw will officiate. Entombment will follow in Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw.
