TIMOTHY IRO POWELL

Timothy Iro Powell, was born in Dayton, Ohio on January 21, 1949 to Richard W.

His legacy will live on in their three daughters, Meghan Fricke (Ryan), Kirsten Shellenbarger (Toby), Erin Bivens (Nic); and his six grandchildren, Abigail, Brock, Tyler, Ethan, Benjamin, and Mackenzie.

Tim was a graduate of Ottawa Hills in Toledo, Ohio and attended Defiance College, where he was a member of Theta Xi Fraternity.  Tim was a hospital Corpsman stationed with the Marine Corps and during his active duty, was stationed stateside at Bethesda Naval Memorial Hospital.  A resident of Uniontown since 1983, he was a proud member of the community and was the voice of the Uniontown parade and festival for over 30 years.  Tim was also a founding and active member of the Advent Lutheran Church.  Anyone who knew him, knew he was a huge Ohio State fan and loved to root on his Buckeyes. He retired in the fall of 2018 from Sterling Jewelers.
