Dean L. Border

Dean Lincoln Border, 91, of West Lafayette, formerly of Heath, Ohio went to be with his Lord on Thursday, July 27, 2023 at Lafayette Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.  God’s Word says in Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved”.

Dean was born on February 12, 1932 in rural Bascom, Ohio to the late Jason and Chloe (Haugh) Border. He graduated Hopewell-Louden High School, Bascom, in 1950. He was employed at Erie Army Depot, Port Clinton, Ohio from 1950-1956. He was drafted into the Army and served from January 1952 – August 1953 with a tour of duty in Korea. He returned to work at Erie Army Depot, transferring to Newark Air Force Station in 1966 and retiring in 1987.

On August 3, 1952 he married the love of his life, Barbara Mae Naugle, who survives.

More than anything he loved spending time with his family. Surviving are his sons Larry (Carrie) of Salem, Missouri, John (Susan) of West Lafayette, and Timothy (Kimberly) of Granville; daughters Betty Lu Jackson of Virginia Beach, VA, and Yana Marie (Tim) Vogelmeier of Newark; 15 grandchildren; 16 great grand children; and one great great grandchild.

Along with his parents he is preceded in death by his siblings Clayton, Dale, Don, Nevin, and Thelma; son-in-law Terry Jackson.

Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Lafayette Pointe for loving Dean like family.
