Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Donald Lee Munn, of Fishers, went to be with the Lord on Aug. 19, 2023, at the age of 89.
He was born in Lansing, Mich., on Aug. 3, 1934, to Gerald W. and Laura Irene Munn. He received a psychology degree from Manchester College and a master’s degree in social work from Michigan State University. He then spent the rest of his life as a licensed clinical social worker and a marriage and family therapist dedicated to serving children, adolescents and families.
In 1962, he joined the original staff at Oaklawn Center in Elkhart. In 1990, he left Oaklawn to establish Crystal Valley Associates in Middlebury. He married Eunice Hochstetler in 1992 and they worked together in private practice and consulted with Wawasee Schools. In 2014, they relocated to Fishers and he worked as a consultant for R3 in crisis care for workplace trauma until his passing.
One of the highlights of his career was the 2002 co-founding of Ryan’s Place in Goshen, a center for grieving children.
He and Eunice were active members at Church of the Brethren in Middlebury where they lead youth mission trips to Puerto Rico, St. Croix and inner city Chicago. They worked as short-term missionaries for Youth With A Mission in Hawaii and Tanzania.
Donald is survived by wife of nearly 31 years, Eunice. Children are Kelly Stoner (Bart), David Munn (Pam), Tony Hochstetler (Shannon), Michael Hochstetler and Jennifer Krehbiel (Burt); and grandchildren: Jessica and Mikayla Munn, Emily, Katelynn and Zac Stoner and Connor (Cayla) and Logan Krehbiel.
