Obituary
MANSFIELD: When Tom Daugherty operated Daugherty’s Full Service Sohio Station, Vehicle Repair Shop, Restaurant, and Grocery Store & Meat Market it was much more than a business, it was a family operation that was a hub for the area. To live in Southern Richland County was to know Tom Daugherty. The culture of community he fostered was attractive and inviting: a comfortable place to work, eat, service your car and even pick-up a few groceries, and Tom’s personal magnetism, kindness and generosity lent to the overwhelming importance of “Daugherty’s” to the people in the region. Tom was a magnet and a loyal friend.
Tom passed into the Lord’s care March 2, 2022. He was 91.
Born August 27, 1930 in Canton to parents Kenneth and Josephine (Walker) Daugherty, he was graduated from Madison High School in 1948. Honorably discharged from the Army after service in the Korean War from 1951 to 1953, Tom worked with the 341st Engineer Panel Bridge Company of the 8th Army, and was awarded a commendation medal.
He was a fifty-year member of American Legion Post #535, a member AMVETS Post #43, and Korean War Veterans Association. Tom was a charter member of Washington Township Fire Department, serving from 1949 and serving as the department Fire Chief from 1963 to 1972.
Tom enjoyed fishing in all the waters of the world, dining out and square dancing. It was a stop for square dancing at Club 13 one autumn evening in 1953 that he met his wife Marilyn Ammons.
Remembered as a talented mechanic and honest man – worthy of trust, steady and reliable, Tom never expressed a bad attitude. He had a wealth of knowledge, never met a stranger – Tom loved to talk! - held an unconditional love for his family, and attributed his longevity to Bud Lite!
He is survived by his children Mark (Teresa) Daugherty of Bellville, Mike Daugherty of Lexington, and Shelly Daugherty Smith of Bellville; grandchildren Mark (Amber) Daugherty, Nick (Samantha) Daugherty, Alexander (Mallory) Daugherty, Jamie (Brandon) Gearhart, Kara (Bryan) Swanson, Ashley (Kevin) Kingseed, and Cory (Andrea) Monica; 15 great grandchildren; brothers Allen (Joyce) Daugherty of Mt. Gilead and Paul Daugherty of Mansfield.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years Marilyn (Ammons) Daugherty on February 5, 2011. Also deceased is his granddaughter Carly Daugherty.
The Daugherty family will receive guests Tuesday, March 8, 2022 from 4 to 8 p.m. in the Lexington Avenue Snyder Funeral Home, where his funeral service will be held Wednesday at 11 a.m. Pastor Matt Gibson will speak. Burial will follow in Mansfield Memorial Park. American Legion Post #535 will present graveside military honors.
Memorial Contributions to Southern Care Hospice or Honor Flight may be made at the funeral home.
Snyder Funeral Home is honored to serve the Daugherty family. Share a memory or a message of support with them – and watch Tom’s tribute video – online at: SnyderFuneralHomes.com
