Obituary

Vincent G. "Vince" Sholl, age 91, of Oakwood, Ohio, passed away on Friday morning, September 11, 2026 at Trustwell Living at Kingsbury Place in Defiance, Ohio.

He was born in Paulding, Ohio on July 3, 1935 to the late Theodore and Estella (Link) Sholl, and was a 1953 graduate of Oakwood High School. Vince was a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army, serving from 1957-1959. On November 24, 1967 he married Shirley E. Arend, who preceded him in death on May 31, 2021.

Vince was a faithful member of St. Mary Junction Catholic Church, and most recently St. John Catholic Church in Defiance. He was a life-long farmer and had a true passion for working on the farm. He also worked at Johns Manville for 35 years until his retirement in 1997. His greatest love was his family, and he loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Vince was a great storyteller and would share his stories to anyone that would listen. He will be greatly missed by his family and many good friends.

Vince is survived by his loving children, Anthony Sholl of Cecil, Angie (Owen) Dangler of Bryan, and Nicole Shomsky of Ayersville, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife Shirley Sholl, his brothers; Leo, Charles, Gareld, Joseph, and Walter Sholl, his sister Catherine Ann Cline, and son-in-law Mark Shomsky.

Visitation will be held on Monday, September 14, 2026 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Schaffer Funeral Home in Defiance. A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:00 am on Tuesday, September 15th at St. John's Catholic Church, with Fr. Kevin McGraw officiating. Vince will be laid to rest in Riverview Memory Gardens.
