Valerie Fawn Rehklau

August 2, 1957 — May 4, 2025

Swanton, Ohio

Valerie Fawn Rehklau, age 67, of Swanton, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 4, 2025 at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on August 2, 1957 to George and Joyce (Falor) Tavtigian in Toledo, Ohio. Valerie was an adventurous spirit, with her heart in her home, family, and garden. She was a genuine and earnest soul, without malice and liked by everyone who interacted with her.

Employed at UPS for many years, she was an avid member of the Teamsters Local, before retiring. She loved nature and all animals and tried to keep as many of them in the house as she could. She had a special place in her heart for horses and was involved with them throughout her life. Valerie was enthusiastic to learn any bright and colorful crafts, to the point of assisting to lead a girl scout troop. Valerie’s favorite hobby had to be gardening, it truly was a passion of hers, and she excelled at it. Throughout her life, Valerie treasured any time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. Her smile, spirit and bright nature will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her parents. Left to cherish Valerie's memory are her loving husband of 29 years, Randy Rehklau; children, Shane Wilkie and Amber (Adam) Breckler; grandchildren, Chase, Logan, Elizabeth, and Alexander; siblings, Matthew (Rowena) Tavtigian, Dianna (Brian) Brenot, and Sherrie (Dave Fleming) Tavtigian; and many nieces, nephews and dear friends.

The family will receive guests on Monday, May 12th from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Weigel Funeral Home, Swanton with Funeral Services beginning at 1:00 p.m. in the funeral home.
