Arthur Kronewitter

Adams 1942 Arthur L Kronewitter

July 1, 1924 - Apr. 18, 2016

MISHAWAKA - Arthur L. Kronewitter, 91, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 18, surrounded by the comfort of his family.

Art was born on July 1, 1924, in South Bend, to the late Levi and Matilda (Nadorff) Kronewitter, one of 12 children. Surviving are brothers, Ern, Jerry and Jack, and a sister, Phyllis, all of South Bend.

Art was a graduate of John Adams High School. Art went on to pursue his career in printing for over 43 years, retiring from Service Printers, now Petersen Printing.

Art married his loving wife, Suzanne Koontz (surviving) of 65 years on February 10, 1951. Together they raised a family which Art would say was “their” greatest accomplishment. Family means everything. Together they shared one of life's rarest gems...true love that very few get to experience!

Art will be greatly missed by his family. Art is survived by his sons, Mike (Nancy) Kronewitter of Mishawaka, Ron Kronewitter of Indianapolis and John (Rosa) Kronewitter of South Bend; daughters, Cherie (John) Mortimore III of Mishawaka and Lori (Don) Welty of Jacksonville Beach, FL. Also surviving are 13 beautiful and adored grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.

Art enjoyed the outdoors, an avid hunter, loved fishing and mushroom hunting. Together Art and Sue traveled, spending time in Florida and enjoying time with all the children. Art was a member of the Edwardsburg Conservation Club and FOP Auxiliary. Art had the gift of “he knew no stranger” no matter where he went. He loved playing the harmonica from Happy Birthday to the Notre Dame Victory March and reciting the words of Shakespeare.

In keeping with the family's wishes, no services will be held. Hahn Funeral Home, Mishawaka, has been entrusted with the final arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to Hospice Foundation Supporting Center for Hospice Care: South Bend-Elkhart-Plymouth, 501 Comfort Place, Mishawaka, IN 46545.
