Ionia Sentinel-Standard - Tues. Dec. 16, 2008


Donald Duane Roth, age 61, of Stanton, passed away at his home on Friday, Dec. 
12, after a two-year battle with colon cancer.

Don was born in Mt. Pleasant on Dec. 16, 1946 the only son of Marion & Amy 
Marie Roth. Both parents have preceded him in death. Don has been a longtime 
resident of the Stanton area. He graduated from Harrison High School and 
Central Michigan University with a master in education and taught school in 
Detroit and Ionia, in addition to classes at Montcalm Community College. He was 
an active member of the American Legion Post #452 in Stanton; he served as 
commander of the Son’s of the American Legion numerous times, and the bar 
manager for many years. In addition he implemented the SAL Santa Auction in 
1998, which continues today and served as newsletter editor for over ten years, 
humoring members and guests with his jovial wit and laughter. Don was an avid 
supporter of “Hunt of a Lifetime” which provides for children with cancer and 
his favorite hobby was deer hunting at his beloved TIBID lodge and trails with 
his partners and old friends.

Don is survived by two cousins, Cheryl Ann Deavers of Fort Defiance, Va. and 
Dale R. Roth, Harrison, in addition to his chosen TIBID family, Dennis (Ethel) 
Oberlander, Mason, Michael (Lora) Lingeman, Stanton, Kick (Katie) Jamieson, 
Stanton, Willis (Maggie) Crothers, Rockford and Michael (Linda) Hopkins, 
Stanton, along with his chosen sons; Ed and Jim Lingeman, both of Stanton and 
their families.

At his request, cremation has taken place. Don requested no visitation or 
services be held, but that his ashes be spread at his hunting blind by his 
TIBID family. For those desiring to do so, memorial considerations are 
suggested to the White Pine Library, 106 E. Walnut Street, Stanton, Michigan 
48888. The Simpson Family Funeral Home is honored to serve the Roth family with 
care and compassion during their time of loss and bereavement.
