STANLEY, N.C. -- Mark Joseph Appleman, 77, formerly of Canfield, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023.
He was born in Youngstown, June 7, 1946, to the late Marcus Victor Appleman and Delphine Appleman.
Along with his parents, Mark was preceded in death by his brothers, Donald Appleman with his wife, Judy; and Robert Appleman with his wife, Patty.
Mark was a graduate of Canfield High School in 1964. He later enlisted in the Army and served in Vietnam and Germany. Upon returning from the military, Mark pursued a career as a truck driver. He was a Mason and member of Scottish Rite.
In 1983, he married his wife, Francine Dolence. The couple lived in Canfield until retirement in 2008, then moved to Stanley to be closer to their daughter, Lisa and her family.
Mark was a humble man. He enjoyed the simple things in life like a day on the water or a cold beer with his friends. He enjoyed a good garage sale and mowing the grass. In his spare time, he loved to tinker in his work shed and get into little projects.
He loved his family dearly and his grandchildren like no other. He was the best father a little girl could ever ask for and will be missed greatly by all.
He leaves his wife of 40 years, Francine; his daughter, Lisa, (Trey Hendricks) of Denver, North Carolina; grandchildren, Benjamin and Isabella Hendricks of Denver, North Carolina; as well many beloved family members, his niece and nephews, and dear friends.
Per Mark's request, cremation was performed by Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Huntersville.
