She was a devoted mother to her four children, David (Shirley) Martin, Diane (Dave) Fockler, Lynn (Mark) Koeniger, and Jeff (Debbie Maxwell) Martin. She had 14 grandchildren and one great grandchild. Her hobby was cooking which she did without written recipes. She would make big pots to share and pies from scratch. A generous woman with a big, warm heart, she was always giving to her family. After her children were grown, she worked for many years at the University of Toledo’s bursar office retiring in 2000. She enjoyed eating out and was very active. A devout catholic, she belonged to Gesu Church. We pray that she will join her husband Don in heaven in peace and happiness for eternity.
