Tana Entinghe

In loving memory of Tana Entinghe

March 17, 1945 – October 22, 2026

A beautiful life; a love that will never fade.

There are some people in this world whose light shines so brightly that it touches everyone who was fortunate to know them. Tana was one of those rare and beautiful souls. To us, she was the most beautiful woman in the world, with a light brighter than anything you could ever imagine. The world may seem a little dimmer without her, but the love and light she brought into our lives will shine forever.

Tana Rahae Entinghe, known as Mim, Glamma, Babe, and Silly Grandma, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 22, 2026, in Tipton at the age of 81. Raised in Alexandria, Tana spent most of her life in Tipton.

Tana was a beautiful, glamorous, and fiercely devoted woman whose love for her family knew no bounds. She had an infectious laugh, a wonderful sense of humor, and spirit that could light up a room. She loved shopping, tending to her flowers, and decorating her home, but nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her family.

Her family wasn’t just part of her world – but her entire world.

Tana shared 37 years with her husband David Entinghe. They built a life with many countless memories of love and laughter. Tana was an extraordinary mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. In later years, Tana found a deep and abiding relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Her greatest legacy will always be the love she leaves behind. She leaves behind her loving husband David Entinghe and her son Rich (Tracy) Edwards and daughter Christy (Tim) Durm. She has seven grandchildren: Erika (Joe) Marschke, Marty Joseph (Meii) Edwards, Lexi (Nate) Geiger, Nicholas Thompson, Lakye (Darrick) Deeter, Alec (Kara) Hallgarth, Dakota Borders and Nicole Durm.

Tana also leaves behind 10 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, with another due in March. She was preceded in death by her parents Velma L. Strong and Richard L. Lockwood and her beloved son Marty Edwards.

Funeral services for Tana will be at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, at Young-Nichols Funeral Home, with burial to follow in Fairview Cemetery, Tipton. Visitation will be from 12:00 noon until the time of the service. Online condolences for Tana’s family may be left on her obituary page at www.young-nichols.com.

Memorial donations in honor of Tana should be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, Tennessee, 38105.

David Lee Beall

David Lee Beall, 61, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at IU Arnett Hospital in Lafayette, Indiana. He was born on June 22, 1965, in New Castle, Indiana, to the late Roberta Mosher.

In 1985, he began his lifelong career behind the wheel as a truck driver. For David, driving a truck was far more than just a job, it was his true passion and way of life. He loved the freedom of the open road, seeing the country, and the excitement of harvest time. When he wasn’t logging miles in his rig, he enjoyed the thrill of riding motorcycles, listening to country music, spending time outdoors, and traveling.

Above all, David treasured his family and took immense pride in his role as husband, father, grandfather, and brother. Though his family was blended, David never viewed them through the lens of “step.” To him, they were simply his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and he loved every one of them equally and without condition. He will always be remembered for his infectious laugh, warm smile, big heart, and unmistakable sarcasm. His presence, humor, and devotion will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

David is survived by his loving wife Maricel Beall and their three children residing in the Philippines: Statham Vince S. Kelly (6), Braxton Carter S. Beall (1), and Bryson Troy S. Beall (3 months). He is also survived by his children Kala Ragan, Tisha Nicole, Korey Neall, Nicholas Beall, David Beall Jr. (DJ), Kayleigh Sanon, Brittany Dosch, and Zachary Dosch; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; his siblings Steven Beall and Tina Servis; and his best friend, Rob James.

David was preceded in death by his mother Roberta Mosher; grandmother Blanche Warren; great-grandparents Willem Sheagley and Lily Sheagley; and his great-uncle Wayne Sheagley.

David’s memory will live on through the endless roads he traveled, the lives he touched, and the deep love he leaves behind. Stout & Son Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.

Ronald A. Mazzacone Sr.

Ronald A. Mazzacone Sr., known to many as Ron, passed away on October 3, 2026, in Kokomo, IN, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, music, and devotion to the people he loved. Born on September 20, 1958, in Beacon, NY, he lived a life marked by kindness, loyalty, and a spirited appreciation for the simple joys that brought people together. He was friendly, thoughtful, and passionate, and those qualities were evident in the way he carried himself and in the lasting impression he made on family and friends.

Ron was a proud graduate of Beacon High School, and his roots in Beacon remained an important part of his story throughout his life. He grew up surrounded by the values of family, hard work, and connection, and he carried those values with him wherever he went. Those who knew him remember a man who was easy to talk to, quick with a smile, and always willing to share a moment of conversation or laughter. He had a genuine way of making others feel welcome and at ease, and his presence brought comfort to many.

Music was one of Ron’s greatest joys. He loved going to concerts and had a deep appreciation for the energy and spirit of live performance. He played the keyboard and collected a great deal of music to listen to, finding happiness in the sounds that filled his home and his heart. YES was his favorite band, and his love for their music reflected the enthusiasm he brought to the things he enjoyed most. Whether he was listening closely, reminiscing about a favorite song, or enjoying the atmosphere of a concert, Ron found meaning and enjoyment in music throughout his life.

Ron also enjoyed spending time playing pool, an activity that reflected both his competitive side and his love of good company. He appreciated the camaraderie that came with a game and the chance to share time with others in a relaxed and familiar setting. He was also known for liking to bake for people, a thoughtful gesture that spoke to his generous nature. He took pleasure in creating something special for others, and his baking was one more way he showed care and affection to those around him.

Family was central to Ron’s life, and he will be remembered with deep love by his children Ronald Mazzacone Jr. and his wife Melani, Robert Mazzacone, and Jessica Mazzacone. He also leaves behind his brother Anthony and his wife Rose Mazzacone, along with his grandchildren Ronald Mazzacone III, Logan Mazzacone, Wesley Putman, Kristopher Mazzacone, Alyssa Fenton, and Zack Columbus. He was also a bonus grandfather to Colby Henke, a role he embraced with care and sincerity. Ron was preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Gloria Mazzacone, as well as his brothers Robert Mazzacone and David Mazzacone. Their memories remained a part of his life, and he now joins them in eternal rest.

Ron’s life was one of quiet strength, steady love, and sincere connection. He did not need grand gestures to show who he was because his character was revealed in the everyday ways he treated others. He was thoughtful in his words, loyal in his relationships, and passionate in the things that mattered to him. His family and friends will remember the many moments that made him special, from conversations shared over music to the comfort of his familiar presence and the kindness he extended so naturally.

Though his passing leaves a deep void, Ron’s memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His life was a gift, and the love he gave will remain a lasting comfort to his family and friends. He will be remembered with affection, respect, and gratitude for the many ways he enriched the lives of others.
