Daniel A. Wingett, 91 of Westerville, Ohio passed away Saturday, November 11, 2023 at his home after an extended illness. Born October 25, 1932 in Lancaster, Ohio, he was the son of Mary Canfield Wingett and Theodore Hawk Wingett. On November 9, 1954, he married Beulah Ann Newman and she survives. Together they shared 69 loving years together. In addition to his wife, Beulah, he is survived by son, Daniel (Cheryl) Wingett; daughter, Deborah (Dale) Browning; four grandchildren, David (Michelle) Wingett, Shelley (Kenneth) Church, Drew (Jessica) Browning, and Alex (Kristen) Browning; four great-grandchildren, McKenzie and Dawson Wingett, and Leah and Emma Browning; his sister, Eleanor Upton; and two nephews, Jeff and Brad Upton. Dan proudly served in the U.S. Chemical Corp as a 2nd Lieutenant from 1955-1957. He retired in 1985 after teaching chemistry and physics at Thomas Worthington High School for 27 years. He was a member of the Worthington United Methodist Church since 1961 and a Lifetime member of NEA and OEA. Dan was also a member of the Mid Ohio Vair Force Corvair Club. Always having an interest in classic cars, Dan restored a 1938 Plymouth and a 1939 Plymouth with his son, Dan. He often drove them in parades with a grandchild waving in the back seat. He was a tireless supporter of his grandchildren and their activities. Dan had a collection of witty sayings he used to impart wisdom. Words fall short to describe this man who meant so much to so many.
