Dorotha Ilene Monday

May 9, 1927 - May 20, 2011

Dorotha "Dot" Ilene Monday passed away in her sleep on May 20, 2011, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio. She was born on May 9, 1927, to Ray and Pearl Guisinger in Findlay, OH. Dot worked as a proud employee for Great Lakes Marketing for over twenty years. She was widely adored for her very kind heart and extremely open mind. Those who knew her called her "Grandma Dot". In 1990, Dot fought the battle of breast cancer and won; she was a 20 year survivor. Her nurturing personality made her home a welcome place for all. Dot enjoyed tending her flowers, reading the tabloids, spending free time with loved ones, and most of all collecting, categorizing, and watching movies. Dot is survived by her sons Alan and Kirk (Valerie Long) Monday; grandchildren, Holly (Brad) McCormick, Katie, Marcus (Jacqueline), Thea (Jay) Anderson, Lauren (Roby), and Evan; great-grandchildren, Odin Proudfoot, Brad and Hannah McCormick; as well as many nieces and nephews, the neighbors of Northville Drive, and many wayward souls who found refuge in her home. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Susan Monday; son, Mark Monday; brother, Charles Guisinger; mother, Pearl Cowles; father, Ray Guisinger; daughter-in-law, Amanda Proudfoot; and sister-in-law, Rosalie Sager. Friends are invited to visit from 4 PM until the funeral service at 7 PM Wednesday, in the Ansberg-West Funeral Home, 3000 Sylvania Avenue. Interment will be in Harman Cemetery Gilboa, OH at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society.
