Dakota Tiell Obituary
Dakota Alexis "Lexi" Tiell, 28, of Fostoria, peacefully passed away Tuesday, March 21, 2023, at Toledo Hospital with family and friends at her side.
She was born Oct. 19, 1994, in Dickson, Tennessee, to George Tiell and Elizabeth Jayne (Douglas) Harmon.
She is survived by her mother, Elizabeth Jayne Harmon (Gary DuBose) of Toledo; fiancé, Matthew Robinson of Fostoria; sister, Elisha Tyree of Tiffin; brother, Josh Tyree of Tiffin; nieces and nephews which she loved and spoiled every chance she could get, Madisyn, Taelyn, Brendon, Ethan, Braylon, Jace, Mason, Keyonn, Bradyn, and Vincent; grandparents, Dave and Judy Harber; and many aunts and uncles.
She was preceded in death by her fathers, George Tiell and Jeffery Harmon.
Lexi was a 2013 graduate of Tiffin Columbian High School. Lexi dedicated her life to living it to the fullest! She made many memories with the amazing friends she made along her short journey. Lex loved her fiance, Matthew, who supported her and her wild ideas endlessly with love and devotion. She was very artistic and spent time painting and drawing. She loved the outdoors, 4-wheeling, and mudding. Lex would rarely go anywhere without sporting one of her piggies, whether on her socks, pants, blanket, or stuffed animal. She was diagnosed with Renal Failure at a very young age. Lexi went through more surgeries, procedures, hospital stays, and battles than anyone should ever have to endure. Lex had an enormous team of caretakers and nurses that she grew fond of and adored. She fought hard until her last day. Lexi loved living life her way and bringing the love of life to those around her.
Lexi's celebration of life will be 11 a.m. Thursday, March 30, 2023, at Harrold-Floriana Funeral Home, Fostoria, with Pastor Mark Self officiating. The family asks that friends come and share their favorite memory of Lexi. Visitation will be 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at the funeral home.
