ELAINE M. (EBRIGHT) DAMSCHRODER
June 17, 1939 – August 14, 2026

Elaine was love in action. Love was a verb for her. Her words were the acts of love encoded in the sounds of knitting, the smells of baking, the joy of giving, the delight in savoring the family from which she and her family sprang, feeling the heat of the sun while gardening, anticipating the tastes of the veggies that she grew and shared, the whirring of the sewing machine as she made her kids clothes, bedspreads and curtains, the soft words of the prayers she taught her children to say at bedtime, the feelings of satisfaction in following the commands of Jesus to help others and cocoon them in loving warmth, the whiff of the children and infants she cherished in her home over the years and cared for in the church nursery. The 19th century mantle clock from her husband’s parents that she preserved all those years and that Sally had very carefully and meticulously restored, the grand champion sponge cake from Granny Sprunk, the bride and groom topping from her wedding cake are visible reminders of her intimate connection with generation to generation love that is beyond words and needs them not.
She has now joined her husband, Richard Sr., her son, Richard Jr., her parents Frank L. and Erma (Metzger) Ebright, and six of her siblings, Henrietta Jerndt, Frank H. Ebright, Galen Ebright, Duane Ebright, Carol Starkloff and Lloyd Ebright, in the place God has prepared for faithful servants and lovers of others in a paradise without pain or suffering.

Elaine was a cherished, loving, compassionate, patient wife, mother, homemaker and faithful friend of Jesus. Besides her generosity with her time and skills in knitting baby caps, blankets and lap robes for 33 years as a volunteer at Riverside Hospital and then St. Vincent, she served as a Girl Scout leader and could be counted on for savory pies, Christmas cookies and her granny’s champion sponge cake for church bake sales.

Her self taught gardening skills created many other occasions to share the abundance that her determination and knack coaxed from the earth with neighbors, friends and fellow church goers. The power of her resolute loving example can be seen in the ways in which Sally, who does not really like vegetables, would join in with her in gardening.

Grieving her absence and praying to carry on with their own deeds—not just words—of loving each other and God’s creation are her daughter, Sally Damschroder, siblings Kathrine Everhardt, Norma Corbin, Karl (Karen) Ebright, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held at Walter Funeral Home, 4653 Glendale Ave Toledo, Ohio on Wednesday, September 2, 2026 at 10am followed by a memorial service at 12pm. Burial will follow in Ottawa Hills Memorial Park.

Coleen K. Shaw passed away after a short illness in Toledo, Ohio, on Thursday, June 4, 2026, surrounded by her long-time partner, Alan Colwell, sister Maureen, her niece Alicia and other family members. She made the journey to her final home, joining her parents who went before her. She was just shy of 74 years.
Born in Madison, Wisconsin at St. Mary’s hospital in 1952, she spent the first 10 years of her life there before moving to Toledo, Ohio where her father was employed as a professor at then Toledo University. She continued her education in Toledo, Ohio graduating from DeVilbiss High School in 1970.
After high school she attended the University of Toledo Community and Technical College, in an accelerated program to get her Associate’s Degree: Health Technologies, Registered Nurse, in 1973. Her continuing education led her to complete an Externship for Prescriptive Authority in 2004. Coleen was a Registered Nurse, Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Advanced Practice Nurse. Becoming a nurse was a goal that was always clear to her, and encouraged by her mother, because she was a giver to all those around her. Nurses are born, not made. That sense of caring touched every aspect of her life and never left her. She loved working with children, especially children that had different developmental or emotional issues. She was an advocate for those who could not advocate for themselves long before that was a recognized vocation. She loved her work and loved the children she served.
After Coleen retired in 2018, she was honored by the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB) on September 23, 2021 for accomplishing 40 years as a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. The PNCB noted “We would like to take this opportunity to recognize this extraordinary anniversary…as a nursing professional who sought certification in the specialty of pediatrics, you are to be commended for your commitment to the profession, serving as a role model to your colleagues, and making a difference in the lives of children, families and other members of the healthcare team.” This was a most singular distinction after a long career of service.
Her passion for service didn’t stop with her career and work place, as she loved to be outdoors, running, walking, always exercising as much as she could. She ran outdoors one hour every day of the year regardless of the weather. She ran several 5 K races in Ohio, Michigan and Florida, often accompanied by her partner, Alan, and even ran a marathon in Bowling Green, Ohio. She ran on the E.D. Libbey High School indoor track with her partner just before the school was torn down. One of only two people to do that!
She was inspired by nature and drew comfort and strength from it. She was an avid gardener always sharing the fruits of what she grew with family and friends. She loved to cook and to bake, making many of the treats for holidays and birthday gatherings. She was a great seamstress, making so many of her own clothes over the years.
She was a long-time Toledo Zoological Society member, volunteering at the zoo for over 22 years, and volunteering more frequently after she retired. She was recognized as an individual Volunteer of the Year in 2024, a very impressive honor that she was so humbled to receive and received the Volunteer Service Award Bronze in 2026.
She was a life-long Lucas County Public Library member, who spent a lot of time serving on the board of the Friends of the Library. Her story was highlighted in the Fall 2024 issue of “Off the Shelf,” the Toledo
Lucas County Public Library Magazine. She further volunteered at the Toledo Botanical Garden, part of the Toledo Metropark system. This was a place she deeply loved to visit and spend time with all the lovely flowers, trees and exhibits, as it was also a favorite place of her father’s. Not only was she a member of the Toledo Museum of Art but she posed many times for their art classes.
Coleen was there for everyone. She probably kept her local Hallmark store in business all these years as she sent birthday cards, Christmas cards, congratulation cards, condolence cards, and cards for all types of holidays. She didn’t forget anyone. Even when she knew her time might be short she was concerned about getting out cards and presents in advance for family and friends, especially her most recent grandnephew and grandniece.
She didn't know the meaning of the word, "quit." Coleen was constantly reaching out to help all those lucky enough to be in her "orbit:" family, a wide group of friends (or folks who just looked like they needed a friend) and neighbors. She really was a "Big Sister to the World."
She was a lifelong learner, with a love for books, all kinds of books. It was not unusual for Coleen to have several books open at any time. She frequently gave books to others, helping them to grow their own library. She was a passionate member of a book club, had a love for museums, and was a lifelong listener of public radio and viewer of local PBS programs.
Best of all, Coleen was simply the best listener anyone could ever know because she genuinely cared about people and empathized with how they felt. This aligned with her love for learning new things. Coleen had tremendous curiosity about art, science and the natural world, no doubt something she picked up from her scientist father and creative mother.
Coleen was a 365 day a year lover of all things Christmas. She had a small tree with lights that stayed on all year long. She would go with family each year to visit the Toledo Zoo to see the Christmas lights. She also loved to listen to Christmas music whenever the mood struck her. Coleen always loved bright clothing and this was especially evident in the holiday season.
Coleen is survived by her significant other, Alan Colwell, the best partner she ever had, her brothers Thomas K Shaw (spouse Zara O Shaw), James K. Shaw (spouse Tina Shaw), Steven K. Shaw, Lawrence K. Shaw (partner Henrietta Chavez); her sisters; Kathleen C. Shaw (spouse Clint Lavens) and Maureen K. Shaw. In addition, she is survived by nephews; Hassane T Shaw (spouse Isandra Shaw); Jeffrey Billick (spouse Kassi Billick); Oumarou T Shaw (spouse Dr. Candice Chipman-Shaw); Zachary Shaw (partner Leann Martin); nieces; Heather Koppenhofer (spouse Mark Koppenhofer), Stacie Sterren (spouse Chris Sterren); Jamila Shaw-Alvarado (spouse Kelsey G Alvarado), Cassie S. Peters (spouse John Peters), Alicia Davis (spouse Kenny Davis), Sydni Servé, and Cheyenne Shambarger, as well as grand-nephews: Lennox Leblanc, Oumarou Shaw, Caleb Peters, and Malakai Shaw; and grand-nieces: Mara Goncalves, Tristin Fought, Ayrikah Koppenhofer, Lyla Shaw, Yara Shaw, Eliza Peters, and Xolana Alvarado.
A Celebration of Life in loving memory of Coleen Kay Shaw will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2026 at Oak Openings Metropark Lodge from 3-8 PM, 5230 Wilkins Rd, Whitehouse, OH, 43571. Colorful attire is encouraged.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make a donation in Coleen’s memory to any of these charities: The Toledo Zoo The Toledo Museum of Art The Metroparks Toledo Foundation FeedToledo.Org WGTE-FM Public Radio WGTE Public Media
Or you can donate a book to the Toledo Lucas Country Public Library’s Friends of the Library in her name.

Mary (Reed) Fischer
With her daughter and granddaughter by her side, Mary peacefully gained her wings on June 23, 2026, just two days after celebrating her 99th birthday. She was surrounded by the love of her large family and fittingly, handfuls of Werther’s candies.
Mary was born June 21, 1927 in Toledo, Ohio to Norman and Philomene Reed. She worked for more than 20 years as an Optical Technician at E.B Brown Optical in Toledo, retiring from the company not once, but twice.
Mary spent the last 30 years of her life living in Perrysburg. She called Abundant Life of Perrysburg home and was the longest and oldest resident. She was a member of St. Rose parish and faithfully attended Sunday Mass with her best friend, Barb.
Mary loved to do things that allowed her to be creative. She enjoyed singing, dancing, cake decorating, and china painting. She was an active member of the Perrysburg Senior Choir, traveling throughout the city to perform. She loved to dance and was an avid Square Dancer. First as a member of the May Dancers and later as the founder of her own Square-Dancing group. She even designed and made many of her own square dance costumes! When she could no longer dance herself, she encouraged her grandchildren to carry on her love of dancing by taking ballroom dance classes.
Mary also loved to travel and cherished memories of her trips to the Bahamas, Aruba, and Mexico, as well as visits to her favorite destination, visiting her family in Lindsay, Ontario.
Mary will be remembered for her sense of humor, feisty independence, and love of all sweet treats- always having a fridge stocked with ice cream, Hershey’s chocolate bars and cookies.
Mary is survived by her children, Kathleen (John) Crowley, Stephen King, Theresa Ginsburg, and Paula Monnett; her grandchildren, Charles Desandro, Christina (David) Krempec, Kevin (Breanna) Desandro, Clarissa (Mark) Lapinski, Nicholas Desandro, Philip (Emily) Desandro, Martin Crowley, Aaron Crowley, Sarah Piotrowski, Erron Stark, Samantha Stark, Ryan (Katherine) Harvey, Andrew (Katie) Monnett, Cassidy Monnett and Alex (Samara) Monnett; as well as 35 great grandchildren and 15 great-great grandchildren.
The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to the nurses, aides, and entire team at Otterbein Perrysburg for the kindness and care they provided to Mary.
Funeral arrangements are private, and Mary will be laid to rest in Wapakoneta, Ohio at a later date. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Mary, are asked to consider the Alzheimer’s Association of Northwest Ohio.

Joyce M. Mason
Mason (Nieft), Joyce Mae, age 90, of Maumee, Ohio, died Thursday, June 18, 2026, at Elizabeth Scott Community, surrounded by the compassionate, loving care of her family, the nursing staff at Elizabeth Scott, and Hospice of Northwest Ohio.

Joyce was born May 11, 1936, in Toledo, Ohio, the daughter of Harriet "Hattie" (Stranz) Nieft Hoops and Elmer Nieft — sister of Ronald Frederick Nieft.

A proud 1954 graduate of Libby High School, Joyce was once asked by her granddaughter, “Grandma, you know how in high school there’s the pretty one, the smart one, and the popular one — which were you?” Joyce smiled and said, “I was the funny one.” Her wit was gentle, quick and disarming. Anyone who knew her would agree - humor was her quiet superpower.

Joyce met the love of her life, Clarence “Pat” Mason, on a double date. She caught his eye immediately — not with glamour, but with the joyful, bright energy she carried everywhere she went, and the simple red dress that suited the style of the 1950s as naturally as it suited her. She loved telling the story of coming home from work to find her mother waiting at the door, delighted to announce that a handsome sailor had stopped by to see her.

From that moment on, their story unfolded with a lifetime of devotion filled with laughter, loyalty, and deep affection.
Joyce fulfilled her dream of being a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker. Her dreams grew even larger in 1964 when she and Pat took a leap of faith and bought a cottage on Hemlock Lake — a decision that shaped their family for generations. The cottage became a place of joy, rest, and memory-making, a gift that continues to echo in the hearts of her children and grandchildren.

Once her children were in school, Joyce worked as a scheduler at the Lutheran Old Folks Home on Seaman Street in Toledo. Long before computers made the task easier, she coordinated the nursing staff’s schedules with precision, patience, and the interpersonal grace that earned her deep respect.

After retiring, Joyce joyfully volunteered to run the Thrift Shop at St. Lucas Lutheran Church — a congregation rooted in her family’s German heritage. Only Joyce could transform a humble basement thrift shop into something that felt like Dillard’s. She and her volunteers welcomed everyone with dignity and warmth, especially those whom society too often overlooked. Her kindness was expansive, instinctive, and without condition.

Throughout her life, Joyce was a passionate and gifted gardener. Gardening was her sanctuary — a place of quiet joy, reflection, and conversations with God. Of all the things she loved, tending to the beauty she nurtured was her truest delight.

If you met Joyce, you loved her. The affection she received from others was never something she sought; it was simply the natural response to her essence, grace, kindness and her warm, inviting sense of humor. People often told her family, “She’s the sweetest lady,” or “She’s our favorite.”

The dream Joyce never intentionally chased — being beloved by so many — became the one she fulfilled most effortlessly.

In her own words, scribbled recently on coffee-stained note paper decorated with red roses; "What a Life I have Lived!"

Joyce was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Clarence “Pat” Mason; her parents, Harriet “Hattie” (Stranz) Nieft Hoops and Elmer Nieft; and her brother, Ronald Frederick Nieft.

She is survived by her children, Mike (Sue) Mason, Rick (Annette) Mason, Lori (Bob) Ritter, and Matt Mason; her grandchildren; Sarah Sigurdson, Ben Sigurdson, Kate (Dan) Meyers, Patrick (Angie) Mason, Meg Coci, Steve (Kristen) Mason, and Sam Mason; and her great grandchildren, Ana Leigh DuBois, Zara Mason, Ava Mason, Luke Mason, Emma Mason, and many extended family members and friends who cherished her.

A celebration of Joyce's life will be held Saturday, June 27, at 10:00 AM, at her beloved St. Lucas Lutheran Church, 745 Walbridge Ave., Toledo, Ohio 43609, followed immediately by a brief burial service at Toledo Memorial Park. During this service, the cremains of Joyce, her husband Pat, and his sister, Jeanette Mason, will be laid to rest together. We welcome you to join the family at 12:00 PM at the Elks Lodge, 139 W. Wayne St., Maumee, for a luncheon and shared remembrance as we continue to honor Joyce's life and legacy. Guests should enter the Elks Lodge from W. Wayne St.

Donations may be made to St. Lucas Lutheran Church, Elizabeth Scott Community, Hospice of Northwest Ohio, or the charity of your choice, in Joyce's memory.
