Alongside Frank, they were lifelong farmers in Seneca County. She was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church. She enjoyed dancing with Frank in the T-Squares. She was a member of TOPS for many years, where she kept a KOPS status. She enjoyed watching EWTN. She enjoyed gardening and shared the abundance with everyone. She was known for her pot pies, homemade cheesy noodles, and pies, especially fruit pies that she would bring to every family function. She wasn't one to share a recipe due to her unconventional measuring, but she loved to cook for others. She loved every family gathering from simple family meals to sacraments, all the celebrations, spontaneous stop-ins and visits after mass, and everything in between. Her family was her everything! And she will be deeply missed by many.

Her Funeral Mass will be at 2 p.m. Friday, September 5, 2025, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, with the Rev. Anthony Coci officiating. A Rosary will be prayed 30 minutes prior to Mass. Burial will follow at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery.

Friends may visit with family from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, September 4, 2025, at Hoffmann-Gottfried-Mack Funeral Home & Crematory, 236 S. Washington St., Tiffin, Ohio 44883, (419) 447-2424.
