Catherine M. "Katie" Brausch

Catherine M. "Katie" Brausch, 88 years old, of Clarksville, Ohio, passed away September 4, 2026. She was born October 28, 1937 in San Gabriel, CA, daughter of the late Bernhard & Johanna (Ubbing) Gawolek. Katie moved to Cincinnati, Ohio with her family at the age of four.

Katie was always taking care of others and loved spending time with her family, friends, and students.

Katie excelled in her Catholic grade school, embracing her Catholic faith at a young age. Some of her favorite childhood memories involved swimming in the summer and ice skating in the winter, both activities always including her brother and neighborhood friends. She graduated from Seton High School in 1955 where she found her niche playing piano and singing in the Glee Club. She went on to graduate from Mt. St. Joseph College with a degree in Elementary Education, teaching 52 fourth graders her first year (at the age of 19) as a teacher at St. Antoninus.

On August 20, 1959, Katie met the love of her life, James Martin Brausch, who survives. After a year of courting, and a year of engagement, Katie and Jim were married on June 10, 1961.

After marriage, Katie no longer taught full time, but she was always involved in a school of religion. She went from St. Williams in Cincinnati to St. Phillips in Morrow to St. Columbkille in Wilmington. While at St. Columbkille, she became the Director of Religious Education, serving in that role for many years.

Also after marriage, Katie quickly embraced being a homemaker and Mom of seven. A move to Clarksville, Ohio in 1972 meant also embracing bigger gardens, a farmer’s stand, and canning for hours. She was born with a green thumb and raised beautiful flowers and vegetable gardens throughout the farm. Her tomato crop was bountiful enough that she could sell extra to the Burger Chef in Wilmington. She was often found picking wild flowers along fence rows or in the fields. Katie spent countless hours creating a family album, entitled “Our Circle of Love”, in which she said, “The city gal had truly become a country gal, and I loved it.” She loved the years that were filled with 4-H, Scouting, gardening, canning, raising livestock, and baling hay and straw. Katie could cook up delicious meals large enough to feed many hungry workers during hay and straw baling seasons.

Katie loved much and was loved by many. She cherished her time with the “Fun Bunch” where she could be a friend and a mentor. She lovingly embraced each role of life that came her way - daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, mentor, grandmother, great grandmother… God filled her with love and grace and she allowed this love and grace to spill over throughout her earthly journey.

After Jim’s retirement, Katie and Jim enjoyed traveling, especially traveling the country in their camper or with bus tours.

To beautifully reiterate: Katie was always taking care of others and loved spending time with her family, friends, and students.

The family would like to thank all those who cared for Katie during her battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was the recipient of much love and grace from others during her long struggle. Katie’s family is very grateful and blessed by the outpouring of love.

In addition to her husband, other surviving family members are her children- Jim (Jill) Brausch Jr. of Scottsdale, AZ, Mike (Dana) Brausch of Clarksville, OH, Susan (Jeff) Parker of Martinsville, OH, Bob (Dianna) Brausch of Clarksville, OH, Dave (Stephanie) Brausch of Clarksville, OH, & Lisa (Nathan) Myers of Ft. Thomas, KY; 17 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, Katie was preceded in death by her daughter- Joanie Brausch; and brother- Herbert Gawolek.

Friends will be received from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, on Tuesday, September 8 at the Fisher-Edgington Funeral Home.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:00 AM, Wednesday September 9 in the St. Columbkille Catholic Church, 73 North Mulberry Street, Wilmington with Rev. Anthony R. Brausch officiating.

Interment will follow in the Clarksville Cemetery, Clarksville, Ohio.

Nancy Miller

Nancy Jo (Burwell) Miller was born on 22 February 1950 to Margaret Mae (Fulmer) Burwell and Clare Everett Burwell.

She grew up in Flint, Michigan and attended Southwestern High School there, graduating in the top 5% of her class in 1968. Throughout high school, she was active in music activities, playing clarinet in the pep band, marching band, concert band, and wind ensemble. She was first chair clarinet. David Miller was second chair clarinet.

On 26 July 1969, she married David at Court Street United Methodist Church. They held hands for 61 years.

From 1968 to 1970, while Dave was serving in the Navy, she attended Michigan State University, majoring in special education and medical technology. She also worked for a time at the medical technology lab in Flint’s Hurley Hospital. Continuing her involvement in music, Nancy played in Michigan State University’s concert band as a freshman. Not many freshmen made the top band, but she was in it. Had Michigan State’s marching band allowed women at the time, she would have played in it, too.

When Dave’s naval career took him to Japan, Nancy decided to go with him. While there, they welcomed their two daughters into the family. When the Millers returned to the States, they lived for a time in San Diego before ultimately settling in Ohio.

While the girls were growing up, Nancy was always there for them and involved in their activities. When they were in Brownies, she was their troop leader. When they were in bands, she was active as a band booster and at band functions. As a volunteer at their schools, she supported students by tutoring those struggling with math as well as Vietnam refugees working on English.

In 1976, Dave started teaching photography at the Ohio Institute of Photography. Two years later, Nancy began studying at OIP, earning a diploma in Technical Photography in 1980 and an AAS in Technical Photography in 1985. She applied her skills for a time at the Children’s Medical Center in Dayton as a medical photographer. In 1981, she began working at OIP as photography instructor and technical photography department head. While Nancy and Dave were both working there, the girls would often spend time at the school with them.

Continuing her pursuit of education and teaching, Nancy attended Wright State University, graduating with a BS in Secondary Mathematics Education in 1990. Throughout a 20-year teaching career, she dedicated herself to ensuring that students left the classroom with more than just a passing grade: she wanted to ensure they also had the skills they needed to thrive. She pursued this mission working as a tutor in the Office of Disability Services at WSU, as a substitute teacher in local schools, and, starting in 1992, at Southern State Community College in Wilmington. There, she served as a tutoring coordinator, taught math classes, and helped students pursue their GEDs through the ABLE program. As a math teacher, she worked with students to help them truly understand the subject. She retired from public education in 2011 but never stopped teaching those around her.

For over twenty years, she avidly supported Sugartree Ministries, serving on the board and as an active, frequent volunteer. After she and Dave both retired, they volunteered multiple days a week to supply and organize the pantry, run grocery give-outs, cook and serve meals, and handle cleanup. Always the mission was to find ways to help people get the resources or support they needed. Her knack for problem solving ensured that even when the pantry was sparse there was enough to go around, and that there were ways to help people celebrate special moments even during hard times.

A longtime member of the Presbyterian Church of Wilmington, she served as deacon and in a variety of other roles, including in missions such as Blanket Bunch and a mission trip to support recovery after Hurricane Katrina. To the choir and bell choir she brought her love of music and lovely singing voice.

While she never looked for recognition, she was honored with the 2025 Clinton County Community Champions Award for her dedication to community.

In her personal life, too, she stayed active in a variety of pursuits. She loved tending her flowers and hummingbird feeders, and watching the birds and butterflies enjoy them. She loved keeping her hands busy, and enjoyed a variety of crafts. She knit to express her bountiful care for all those around her, both for family and people she didn’t know, blessing them with lovingly made earwarmers, hats, mitts, and snuggle bunnies. She loved sitting down to play games or work puzzles with loved ones, spending time to share stories and visit.

Words cannot describe the love she showed her family. She was always there, always engaged, always encouraging them in everything they pursued. And always there with a hug.

She was a blessing to everyone around her. In everything she did, she taught the joy in generosity and kindness, in loving others, and in loving God and sharing His blessings.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations made in memory of Nancy to the music program at the Presbyterian Church of Wilmington or to Sugartree Ministries.

Visitation will be held Friday, August 28, 2026 from 10:00am -11:00am with services beginning at 11:00am, all at Presbyterian Church of Wilmington.

Joseph W. Scott Jr

Joseph “Joe” Willard Scott Jr., 75, of Wilmington, Ohio, passed away peacefully on August 18, 2026, surrounded by the family he loved so deeply. His date of passing was on his daughter Kim's birthday.

Joe was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on February 25, 1951, to the late Joseph Willard Scott Sr. and the late Goldie Scott. In 1981, Joe and his family made the move from Cincinnati to Wilmington, Ohio, where he would continue building the life and legacy that meant everything to him.

In 1978, Joe met the love of his life, Maxine Scott, while working at a hospital in Cincinnati. Apparently, Joe knew a good thing when he saw it—because just five months later, on May 26, 1978, he and Maxine were married. They went on to share 48 years of marriage, the birth of their children, countless adventures, plenty of grocery shopping, holiday trips to his mother in law's, and a lifetime of memories together.

Joe was a man who believed in working hard and taking care of his family. His strong work ethic was legendary. At times, he worked two or even three jobs at once because he wanted to make sure his family had everything they needed. He worked for Cincinnati Wholesale Bait for 10 years, where he loved driving and delivering bait with his children and siblings throughout the greater Cincinnati area. He was a jack of all trades. He later retired from Burrow's Paper Corporation in 2013.

But Joe's real job title was Dad, "Big Daddy" and "Papa Georgio" to his son Shawn, Grandpa, Papaw, husband, brother, uncle, and professional candy distributor.

Joe loved the outdoors and loved keeping busy. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, mowing the grass, working on cars, driving his motorcycle, and dirt bike riding. He especially loved taking his children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews fishing, getting pizza for everyone, and creating the kind of memories they would carry with them forever.

He took his kids to Americana every summer, took them on motorcycle rides, and made sure there was always something to do and somewhere to go. If there was a kid nearby, Joe was probably ready to take them fishing, give them a ride, or hand them something they probably shouldn't have been eating.

And then there was the candy bowl.

Joe kept a candy bowl stocked with enough sugar to make a dentist nervous. His children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews all knew exactly where to go when they needed a little—or a lot—of candy. Spoiling the kids was not a hobby for Joe. It was a full-time commitment.

Joe also loved taking care of his wife. He took Maxine shopping, went grocery shopping with her and the kids, and faithfully took her to visit her mother during the holidays. He was happiest when he was doing something for the people he loved, especially his wife Maxine that he built a such a rewarding and beautiful life with.

Joe was a Baptist and attended church with Maxine, including riding the church bus together during the 1970s and 1980s. Faith and family were important parts of the life he built.

Joe leaves behind his beloved wife, Maxine Scott, and his children: Shawn (Sam) Johnson, Kimberly (Rob) Michaels, Maxine Scott, Christine Scott, and Angel Burchfield.

He is also survived by his brother, Scotty (Donna) Scott, and sisters Paula (Mike) Scott, Goldie (Mike) Stockman, Tammy (Joe) Rabe, Margie Clock, Betty Sue (Donald) Addis, Bertha Richie, and Gertrude Scott.

His greatest legacy continues through his grandchildren: Zach, Lexxi, Bella, Darrius, Crissi, Emma, Braylee, Kinslee, Brianna, Marrissa, Dalton, Chey, CJ and Alantis, and his great-grandchildren: Liam, Myles, Sawyer, Mason, Jackson, Nevaeh, Benjamin and Adilynn.

In addition to his parents, he is also preceded in death by his brothers Alvin and Grover, infant grandson Sebastian, nephew Bob, and sisters Debbie and Edith.

Joe was the kind of man who showed his love by doing. He worked. He drove. He fixed things. He mowed. He fished. He hunted. He took people places. He made sure everyone was fed. And if you were one of his kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews, you could pretty much count on getting a handful of candy whether you asked for it or not.

He may have been happiest behind the wheel, out fishing, working on a car, or mowing the grass—but his greatest joy was being surrounded by his family.

Joe leaves behind more than memories. He leaves behind generations of people who learned from his hard work, benefited from his generosity, laughed at his antics, and knew without a doubt that they were loved.

He will be deeply missed—but knowing Joe, he'd probably want everyone to quit crying, grab some candy, get outside, and go fishing.

Rest easy, Joe. Your work here is done. Your family is taken care of. And your candy bowl will never be forgotten.

Visitation will be held Friday, September 4, 2026 from 10:00 am - 11:00 am with services immediately following with Minister Troy Villars officiating at Fisher-Edgington Funeral Homes, 97 W. Locust St. Wilmington, OH 45177.

Joe will be laid to rest in Clinton County Memory Gardens.

Family and friends are invited to join the family after graveside services at Fiesta Veracruz 37 W Locust St, Wilmington, OH 45177 to celebrate the life and legacy of Joe.
