Thomas Roell Hellmich

November 19, 1954 - January 13, 2025

Thomas Roell Hellmich, age 96, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2025, at St. Andrew’s Health Campus in Batesville, Indiana. He was born to Maurice and Naomi (nee Roell) Hellmich, on October 27, 1928. Tom married Joan (nee Oswald) Hellmich on November 19, 1954, at St. Louis Catholic Church in Batesville.

After college, Tom served his country in the United States Air Force during the Korean War from 1952 to 1956, but that didn’t stop him from marrying Joan, the love of his life, in 1954 - a beautiful marriage that lasted 63 years until her death.

In 1956, Tom began his career with Batesville Casket Company and was one of the first sales representatives inducted into the prestigious BCC Masters Club in 1973. He retired in 1997 with many personal friendships that initially started as business relationships.
