Sarah Jean Kuhnheim Mason

Sarah Jean (Marmon) Kuhnheim Mason, a lifelong servant to her family, faith, and friends, passed away on August 16, 2026, just days shy of her 82nd birthday. Born on September 5, 1944, in Bellefontaine, Ohio, she was the cherished daughter of John and Alma Marmon. Sarah graduated from West High School in 1962 and attended Malone College for two years, where she studied business. Throughout her life, she used her skills in various secretarial roles, including medical billing. Family was the absolute center of Sarah's life. She was a deeply devoted wife and mother. She shared 20 years of marriage with her first husband, James L. Kuhnheim, until his passing in 1985. She later found love again with Mark R. Mason, sharing 12 wonderful years of marriage until he passed away in 2017. Sarah's faith was her guiding light. She was incredibly devoted to her religion and was a highly accomplished pianist and organist, frequently sharing her musical gifts with her church community. Her hands were rarely still; she found great happiness in cake decorating, painting, ceramics, babysitting, and serving as a Den Mother. She was her sons' biggest cheerleader during their sports seasons and later brought that same enthusiastic support to her grandchildren's activities. Sarah also loved taking walks, gathering with loved ones, and collecting lighthouses. She deeply cherished the friendships and community she built with her neighbors in Port Clinton. She was a big fan of The Ohio State University sports. The family always looked forward to her homemade gingerbread cookies every Christmas. She is survived by her sons, Jeff (Amy) Kuhnheim and Scott (Becky Kuhnheim; her sister, Corinne Buchanan; seven grandchildren, Jeremy Brady, Jessica Brady, Jacquelyn Holstein, Andrew Kuhnheim, Catherine Kuhnheim, Kody Kuhnheim, and Kailey Kuhnheim; and four great-grandchildren, Cole Brady, Lilly Brady, Ace Holstein, and Delilah Beam. She also leaves behind four nieces and nephews, Stephanie (Aaron) Leeth, Kari Morris (and Madelyn), Angela (Chris) Hills, and Larry Buchanan Jr. Sarah was preceded in death by her parents, John and Alma Marmon; her husbands, James L. Kuhnheim and Mark R. Mason; and her sister and brother-in-law, Steve and Sharon Morris.
