Natalia “Tillie” Howald
Natalia “Tillie” HowaldElephantNatalia “Tillie” Howald, 92 of Richwood died peacefully Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at Riverside Methodist Hospital.

She was born January 27, 1927 in Union County to the late Adrian L. and Mildred D. (Barnett) Potts. On October 10, 1948 she married Robert E. Howald Sr. and he died June 5, 2006. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Nancy Marie Chapman, a brother, Ned Potts, and son-in-law, Joe Bialecki.

A 1945 graduate of Richwood High School, she was a life-long and dedicated member of the Richwood First United Methodist Church. She and her husband Bob had run the former Rainbow Cleaners in Richwood for many years.

Tillie enjoyed collecting elephants and she had a large collection. She was still sharp in her nineties and wasn’t afraid to voice her opinion. She was a very loving and forgiving person and was loved by everyone who knew her. She was grandma to more than just her own grandchildren, often called “Grandma Tillie”, especially around the old George Street/Claibourne Elementary neighborhood.

She is survived by two sons, Robert E. (Carolyn) Howald Jr., Richwood; Joseph L. (Kathy) Howald, Richwood; two daughters, Elizabeth A. Luera, El Paso, Texas; Jane E. Bialecki, Bellefontaine; grandchildren, James (Katie), Lance (Kristy) and Josh Howald, Troy (Erin) Chapman, Tracy (James) Litreal, Phillip (Becky) Howald, Joe (Dawn) Howald, Kileen (Doug) Payne, Tim (Heather) Bialecki, William Bialecki, Marcos (Cynthia) Lozano, Melanie Lozano, Jessica (Jeff) Osborne, Andrea Chapman, Ryan Chapman and Ashley LeVan; 29 great-grandchildren, 4 great-great-grandchildren; a sister, Anna Lee Moffett, Hollister, Missouri; son-in-law, Kevin (Shauna) Chapman, Richwood; sister-in-law, Martha Potts, Marion; several nieces and nephews and lots of cousins and friends.

Funeral services will be Monday, July 1, 2019 at 11:00 AM at the First United Methodist Church, Richwood with Pastor Joe Rhea officiating. Burial will follow in Claibourne Cemetery. Friends may call on Sunday from 2 to 4 PM at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Richwood.

When I was in kindergarten, I remember Tillie standing at the back of her house looking over the side fence of the Claibourne Elementary playground for the K-1 pupils watching the little kids at recess. Always enjoyed talking to her at church or whenever I saw her.  Cherish your memories of her and hold them close.

great grandma will forever be missed. she deserves to be with the love of her life though, she got to watch her children and grand children grow and was ready to be with grandpa again. I miss them both but they're not in pain anymore. And for those of you who knew her well enough I bet we can all agree she probably gets the one thing she couldn't have here....a pet elephant *giggle*
