NANCY MAE OBERDORF

Nancy Mae Oberdorf, age 74, of Rossford, passed away Monday, March 28, 2022, at St. Lukes’s Hospital. Nancy was born to William and Evelyn (French) Demko on August 4, 1947, in Toledo. She was a 1965 graduate of Waite High School and went on to complete her bachelor’s in education from the University of Toledo and master’s of education in reading from Bowling Green State University.

Nancy was married to Larry Oberdorf on April 11, 1969. She was a teacher at Rossford Junior High for 28 years and before that Lagrange Elementary for three years. Nancy’s faith was very strong, and she was a member of St. Mark Lutheran Church and also a member of Al-Anon.

Nancy had the most gen erous smile. Her love for her family and people will be what is most missed about Nancy. She loved to spend time with her grandkids; taking the little ones to the zoo and watching the older ones play sports. Nancy loved to shop and enjoyed dessert. As she was known for her loving and caring way in life, her final act was the gift of sight through tissue donation.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Larry Oberdorf Sr.; children, Larry Oberdorf Jr., Laurie (Chip) Abele, Robert (Katie) Oberdorf, Bill (Ashley) Oberdorf; grandchildren, Darick, Jack, Caleb, Asher, Kierstyn, Seth, Evelyn and Mary Oberdorf, Brady and Bryce Abele, and Bailey Keiffer; great-granddaughter, Kenadie Oberdorf; sisters, Mary Dingess, Barb (John) Fix, Debbie Loyer and Judy Cain; brother, Bill Demko; many nieces and nephews, and her boxer, Stella. She was preceded in death by her parents.
