It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Walter Beeler, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Walter passed away peacefully July 2nd, 2025, at his home, with loved ones by his side.
Walter started working on his family farm when he was the age of 8. He loved everything about the farm. He never missed a day’s work other than going to Switzerland, twice, to see his family and friends with his wife, Virginia.
Walter had two loves in his life: his farm, and his wife Virginia, that he met in 1954. She was his high school sweetheart that he married in 1956 and was married to her for 68 wonderful years.
Walter was a life member of the Swiss Society and loved being involved in the June Dairy Parade, pulling the Swiss Society float with his old John Deere tractor each year. It was a highlight for him, and something he always looked forward to and that brought a smile to his face!
Walter is survived by his wife, Virginia and four children: Becki (Jim) Hallowell, Calvin (Carrie) Beeler, Brian Beeler, Debbie (Dave) Fink, along with eleven grandkids and twenty-four great-grandkids, his brother Ron Beeler, and his sisters Anita Fletcher and Joyce Meyers.
