Obituary
Don Berlin Santhuff son of the late Lou Melody Farris Santhuff and Don Santhuff was born at Corridon, Missouri, on August 10, 1922. He departed this life at Advanced Healthcare in Ellington, Missouri, on September 29, 2007, at the age of 85 years, one month and 19 days.
On February 23, 1946 in Ellington, Berlin was united in marriage to Margaret Hartrup to this loving union five sons were born. Berlin gave his life to the Lord and was baptized October 3, 2005 at First Baptist Church in Ellington. As a young man Berlin was in the CC Camp from which he loved to tell the stories about. He worked in sawmills and logging until he took over managing the MFA Feed Store in Ellington. There he raised five boys and after 27 years he retired to do what he always loved doing and that was to farm. Berlin enjoyed working with cows, goats, growing gardens and picking black berries, but the biggest enjoyment he got out of life was helping people and playing with and aggravating his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. All who knew Berlin knew that if he would aggravate or tease you he liked you.
Berlin was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, Lowell Santhuff, three sisters, Cybil Helvey, Wilma Bouquet and Dorothy Baker.
Berlin is survived by his wife Margaret of Centerville, five sons, Junior and wife Marilyn of Farmington, Edward and wife Judy of Republic, Michael and wife Pam of Green River, WY, Steve and wife Joyce of Ellington, Larry and wife Vicky of Ellington, three sisters, Winnie Downey of St. Louis, Rosemary Nash of Bentonia, MS, Thelma Lee of Annapolis, 18 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren. Berlin will be sadly missed by a host of relatives and many friends who will mourn his passing.
