Carolyn Luckhardt Obituary

Carolyn Sue (Zoll) Luckhardt

Carolyn "Sue" (Zoll) Luckhardt, 86, of Findlay, entered eternal rest Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2024, at Judson Palmer Home in Findlay.

She was born Jan. 11, 1938, in Tiffin, to Sylvester (Skip) Zoll and Virginia Zoll.

Sue is survived by her children, Joni (Leonard) Krutsinger of Findlay, John Robenalt of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Jeff (Denise) Robenalt and Jerry (Cynde) Robenalt, both of San Antonio, Texas; two bonus children, Carol (Joe) Redfield of San Antonio, Texas, and Andy Luckhardt of Londonderry, New Hampshire; 15 grandchildren she was blessed with, Lindi, Steven, Chelsea, Anne, Luke, Dan, Emily, Michael, Jacob, Jessica, Lauren, Neil, Sarah, Jaclyn, and Crystal; 21 great-grandchildren; sister, Mary Lou (Zoll) Hohman; sister-in-law, Margaret Zoll; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Robert (Bob) Luckhardt; brother, Jack Zoll; sister, Betty Smith; daughter-in-law, Wendy (Hagen) Robenalt; and grandson, Luke Robenalt.

Sue was a 1956 graduate of Calvert High School. She married and traveled the world as a supportive military wife. Her younger years were dedicated to raising her children. She was a member of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church where she embraced her faith. Sue enjoyed reading, writing letters and cards, and was always the holiday decorator and clothing fashionista. During her working years, she served as an administrative assistant and in her retirement, she enjoyed fishing (but never baiting the hook) and the Berkshire mountains. Once widowed, she moved to be closer to her daughter in Ohio. She served at Brookdale Assisted Living as a Welcome Ambassador to those who were interested in making Brookdale their new home. When the time came, she made the necessary move over to the Judson Palmer Home and the family is forever grateful for this provision.

The family would like to send their deepest gratitude to the staff at Brookdale Assisted Living and Judson Palmer Home for the compassionate care given to our mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Visitation will be 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 11, 2024, until the time of Mass of Christian burial at 10 a.m. at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, 750 Bright Road, Findlay. A rosary, led by niece Terri Werling, will be 9:30 a.m. in the church sanctuary. Private burial will follow.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Judson Palmer Home, 2911 North Main Street, Findlay, Ohio, 45840.

COLDREN-CRATES FUNERAL HOME, Findlay, has been entrusted with Sue's care.

I just learned about the passing of Carolyn Luckhardt, and I am saddened at our loss. I worked with Carolyn at Southwest Research Institute for many years, and always admired how Carolyn was able to be calm in the middle of one of our business "storms", and, she was a great receptionist in several different divisions at SwRI. Also, I knew Joe Redfield and his nice wife, Carol, at SwRI and I know they well in more recent years, because Joe joined the Board of Directors Supervisory Committee of the SwRC Federal Credit Union and I see Carol from time to time. My thoughts and prayers are for the Family of Carolyn Luckhardt, and many of Carolyn's friends.
