Oneda Marchetti

Oneda Marchetti, 95, of Middletown, died on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. She was born on June 18, 1931, in Salyersville, Kentucky to Roland C. and Delia (Rowe) Salyer.

Oneda was a loving mother; a devoted family woman, and kind soul whose warmth and generosity left a lasting impressing on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Above all else, her family was the most important thing in her life. She took great pride in the love and care she gave to each of her children, and her home was always a place of comfort, safety, and welcome. She opened her doors and her heart to many of her nieces and nephews in need, offering a helping hand, a place to stay, and the reassurance that they were never alone.

Oneda had a smile to give to everyone, and her caring spirit could be felt in the little things she did each day. She expressed her love through her actions, always finding ways to nurture, provide for, and support the people she loved. Her family was her greatest accomplishment and the legacy she leaves behind.

A true green thumb, Oneda found joy tending to her flowers and caring for her garden. Every year, she planted a vegetable garden along side her husband, Tony. Together they would can tomato sauce, green beans, and many other vegetables that were cooked with love for the family dinner table. Her gardens reflected who she was: patient, hardworking, generous, and devoted to helping things grow. Just as she nurtured her plants, she nurtured her family with an abundance of love and care.

Beyond her family and home, Oneda had a passion for bowling. An avid bowler, she was proud to be a member of the MWBA Hall of Fame, an achievement that reflected her dedication and love for the sport.

Oneda also demonstrated her patriotism and commitment to her community through her membership in the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary as a member of the board and flag Corps. She proudly carried the flag in every Memorial Day and Fourth of July parade, honoring the country and the service members who sacrificed for it. Her participation was a meaningful expression of her respect, pride, and devotion.

Oneda will be remembered for her generous heart, her welcoming home, her beautiful smile, and the countless ways she showed her love. Her life was a testament to the importance of family, the value of hard work, and the difference one caring person can make in the lives of others.

Though she will be deeply missed her love will continue to live on in the hearts of her children, her family, and all those whose lives she touched. The lessons she taught, the memories she created, and the love she gave so freely will remain a treasured part of her family for generations to come.

She will always be loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.

She is survived by her son, Steven (Vickie) Marchetti; son, Terry (Cindy) Marchetti; daughter, Linda (Robert) Moorman; daughter; Kathy (Robert Loudenslager) Marchetti; grandchildren, Laurie Anne (Mark) Markwell, Michael Adam (Sarah) Marchetti, Anna Maria (Christopher) Noble, Maire Kathleen (Christopher) Mengerink, Peter Matthew (Kathy) Marchetti, Amanda Dawn (Mark) Shroyer, Zachary Scott Marchetti, Robert Joseph Moorman III, Jessica Marie Darney, William Anthony Johnson, Kyle Jacob Nance and Nathan Kane Nance and thirteen great grandchildren.

Linda Carol Lassetter

Linda Carol (Ashcraft) Lassetter passed away peacefully, with family at her side, on October 15, 2026. Born in Covington, Kentucky on March 5, 1957.

Linda grew up in Northern Kentucky and moved to Ohio in 1987 with her husband and two children. Linda's passion in life was encouraging others. She worked to support disabled children and adults throughout her career with the Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities, volunteered with various charity organizations, taught exercise classes, and served in her local churches. She loved the Lord and served Him with her whole heart. As an active member of Berachah Church, she served as a core member of the First Impressions Team, led multiple ministries, was a special needs resource, and helped with a plethora of events.

Linda was the center of the Lassetter family. She always saw the good in people and treated them as if that is all she could see. She never hesitated to share a kind word or help those in need. Even during her brief illness, she often requested family members do special things to thank her care team. Our family often joked she could not go anywhere without having strangers tell her their “whole life story.” She touched countless lives by just being her sweet smiling self.

Linda loved God, her family, the color pink, strong Columbian coffee, hiking with her husband, walking every day, shopping with her daughter, meals with friends, and all of her grandchildren and surrogate grandchildren.

Our family is full of gratitude for the endless support of prayers, cards, and messages. She was precious to so many, and we have felt your love and prayers.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Carolyn Ashcraft, as well as brothers Mark, Joe, and Tracy Ashcraft. She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Steve Lassetter, and children Mark Finke, Erika (Brad) Kalnai, and Gabe (Chris) Flynn. She is also survived by grandchildren Lance (Tressie) Kalnai, Persephone Flynn (9), and Petra Flynn (4), as well as many surrogate grandchildren.

Nancy Marie Sherman

Nancy Marie Sherman

October 15, 1934 – October 2, 2026

Nancy Marie Sherman passed away on October 2, 2026, following a long illness, just 13 days before her 92nd birthday. She will be remembered for her warmth, enthusiasm for life, devotion to her church, and many years of service to the Lahaina, Maui, community she loved.

Nancy was born in Middletown, Ohio, to Raymond Earl Sherman Sr. and Thelma L. (Keuthan) Sherman, both of whom preceded her in death. She graduated from Middletown High School in 1952 and later pursued higher education in California.

Throughout her life, Nancy lived in several places, including Colorado and California, before making her home in Lahaina in the 1990s. It was there that she became deeply involved in the community and devoted much of her time and energy to serving others. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert “Buck” H. Buchanan, in 2012, and her older brother, Raymond Earl Sherman, who died in the 1980s.

Nancy’s passion for the arts and dedication to young people were evident during her ten years as Executive Director of Theatre Maui, a children’s summer theater program. Through this work, she helped foster creativity and a love of the performing arts in young people.

Her faith was another important part of her life. Nancy was a longtime and devoted member of Holy Innocents Episcopal Church in Lahaina, where she served in numerous leadership roles, including vestry member, Junior Warden, and treasurer. She also served on the Board of Directors of Holy Innocents Preschool and was its secretary for many years. A cherished member of the church community, Nancy sang soprano in the choir and shared her love of music, fellowship, and service with those around her.

Nancy embraced life with energy and enthusiasm. She enjoyed swimming in her pool and staying active through exercise classes at the senior citizens center. She was a loyal friend whose warmth, generosity, and spirited nature touched the lives of many. Alongside her husband, Buck, she was a committed and involved member of West Maui, caring deeply about the community and advocating for its future.

Animals held a special place in Nancy’s heart. She delighted in the pets of friends and neighbors, as well as her own beloved cat, Beau, and her rescued mynah bird, Major Mynah. She also looked after the many neighborhood cats that found their way into her life. Her compassion for animals was another reflection of her generous and caring spirit.

In August 2023, after the Lahaina fire destroyed her home, Nancy returned to Middletown, Ohio, where she had lived since. During the final several years of her life, as she faced illness, she was lovingly cared for by her devoted sister-in-law, Dorothy Jean Sherman, her beloved nephew, Ronald Dale Sherman, and his wife, Ildiko. Their care and dedication provided Nancy with comfort and support during a difficult chapter of her life.

Nancy will be remembered for her love of family and friends, her devotion to her church, her commitment to the arts and the Lahaina community, and her boundless affection for animals. She lived with enthusiasm, served with dedication, and formed friendships that endured. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A memorial service is pending. Details will be announced at a later date.

Preplanning isn't about expecting something to happen soon. It's about making your wishes known.

Would you prefer burial or cremation? What kind of service would you want? Is there special music, scripture or another detail that's important to you?

Making these decisions in advance can remove uncertainty for the people you love.
