Mark E. Haring

Aug. 19, 1948 — Nov. 20, 2016

Mark E. Haring, 68, of Francesville, passed away at 8:20 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 20, in Brownsburg. He fought a courageous battle with cancer and was able to spend his last days with his family by his side. 

Mark was born on Aug. 19, 1948, in Lafayette, to the late Gilbert “Gib” and Arlos (Grieger) Haring. He was a 1966 graduate of Medaryville High School and went on to attend Valparaiso University. On June 24, 1972, Mark married the love of his life, Lois M. Miller, in San Pierre. She survives. Mark was retired from the Indiana Department of Transportation, as well as a former gas station owner and radio DJ.

Mark attended Francesville United Methodist Church. He was a former member of the Francesville Town Board and actively worked to better the community. Mark was a member of the Lafayette Corvette Club and was a past president of the Countryside Lanes Bowling League in Radioville. 

Mark enjoyed daily breakfast and coffee with his friends, hosting and cooking with the “dinner club” the last 25 years, and annual cruises to the Caribbean. He also enjoyed following the stock market. Mark had attended the Indy 500 for 44 years and was especially proud to attend the 100th running last year. 

Mark was a loving husband, father, and “pop” who loved spending time with his grandsons. He was a well-known and well-liked person of the community. His upbeat personality and contagious laugh will be missed by all who knew and loved him. 

He is survived by his wife Lois (Miller) Haring of Francesville; daughter Morgan [Scott] Federer of Brownsburg; grandsons: Kohen Federer and Graham Federer; and many close friends and family. 

He was preceded in death by his parents Gilbert “Gib” and Arlos (Grieger) Haring.
