Carol Ann Disbrow, a strong, sensible, and selfless woman, went to be with the Lord on Friday, August 5, 2022. Carol felt richly blessed in life and paid it forward by pouring out her love, support, and service to her family. This she did from an early age to even beyond the grave. Carol was a genuine “Proverbs 31 woman”. Smart, sharp, wise, and witty, [Mom] Carol was truly a servant leader who gave generously and lived with great integrity. She enjoyed her quiet time alone, gardening in her meticulous yard, where you’d find beautiful roses, hastas, green beans, and even asparagus hidden throughout her gorgeous flowering yard. She loved collecting and canning those green beans and watching the many beautiful birds that she [also] nurtured. Carol cherished her peaceful quiet times even cooking and ironing. Carol also loved traveling anywhere that involved sunshine and beaches, her sisters, or outlet stores. She loved finding a bargain!

Most significantly, Carol was a faithful and humble follower of Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior. Her genuine Christian faith and walk of love that she consistently demonstrated in this life is her greatest legacy to her family. She glorified God by reflecting His loving-kindness to others, no matter the circumstance. Carol’s humble, gracious, and giving spirit has forever blessed the hearts of all who’ve been fortunate to know her.

Carol is survived by her children, Jim Rice, Jan (John) Haas; beloved niece, Pamela (Joe) Neiman; stepson, Thad (Amy) Disbrow; grandchildren, Jessica (Brandon), Mathew (Caroline), Zack (Kylie), Lexi (John Michael), and Taylore; great-grandchildren, Isaiah, Marleigh; and siblings, Colleen, Betty, and Pat.

Frances L. Dymarkowski

Frances L. Dymarkowski, 79, of Sylvania, Ohio, died peacefully July 24, 2022, at ProMedica Flower Hospital surrounded by her family. She was born Dec. 18, 1942, in Toledo, Ohio to Nicholas and Serafina DiLorenzo. Her parents had immigrated from Italy and Frances grew up in an Italian American household along with her two sisters. The family embraced their Italian heritage, but the children were taught the ways of new world. Italian was spoken in the home and as a result Frances learned the language. Frances’s parents instilled in her a strong love of God, family, and friends. She attended Gesu Catholic grade school where she made lifelong friends. She went on to graduate from Central Catholic High School in 1960. While at CCHS, she met her future husband, Paul Dymarkowski, while attending a football game. Paul literally knocked her off her feet when he was forced out of bounds. After that chance encounter, they began dating and eventually married. “Franny” as she was known by her friends and family loved her time at CCHS, where she also made numerous lifelong friends. After high school graduation, Franny went on to Mary Manse College in Toledo, which she also enjoyed and continued establishing lifelong friendships that remain today.

In 1964, she and Paul were married and together they raised three children. Family became the center of Franny’s life, and it was important to her to pass along both Italian and Polish traditions to her children. This began a lifelong love of preparing Italian and Polish foods for family and friends. In 1987, when her children were grown, Franny found a satisfying career as a social and activities director at Oakleaf Village Retirement Community. She enjoyed working there until 2009, garnering much satisfaction from enriching the lives of the residents at Oakleaf. Whether going on “field trips” to Mud Hens games, visiting local attractions or providing in-house activities such as chili cookoffs, Derby day or booking musical acts that performed for the residents, Franny had a great time and made many friends.

Franny’s real joy in life was her family. She impressed upon them the importance of family and friends. She would often say “in the end all you need is someone who cares about you and you about them.” Franny was extremely proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and supported her large extended family in everything they did. You would often find Franny observing, attending, supporting, and participating any way she could at every function. This included Girl Scouts, sporting events, graduations, school plays and dance recitals. She never missed an event.

Franny would routinely invite family over for weekly dinners at her home. These were more than just dinners; they would become feasts. She would literally make seven or eight different dishes for the meal. These dinners were all about getting the family together to enjoy each other’s company rather than to simply feed them. Franny enjoyed the cooking process and knowing that people loved her food and company. Each dinner was loud and chaotic, but that is the way she wanted it; everyone laughing and enjoying themselves around the table. Between dinner invites, “Granny Franny” would have her family over for game nights, to play cards or board games, something they all loved.

Franny had a great sense of humor, loved to laugh, and make others laugh. She also enjoyed get-togethers and parties. She would often be the last to leave. When she wasn’t enjoying her family, she loved spending time with the friends that she made throughout her life. She liked to go to lunch with friends or have them to her home for a meal. Franny also cherished having “one-on-one time” with her children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren. Many times, it involved a cooking lesson where she would share her secret recipes. Many of the recipes were not written down, she merely recited them from memory. Franny also enjoyed watching Hallmark Christmas movies year around. She would invite her daughter, daughters-in-law, or granddaughters over to watch a movie that she had recorded. Franny enjoyed the simple things in life. She could find so much joy in growing her own tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and zucchini. She would admire in astonishment a tomato that she had grown, saying, “how can one little seed come to grow such a beautiful and delicious thing.” She never took anything for granted and treasured every day.

Franny unconditionally loved others and always put the needs of others before her own. She was a great daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be missed by all that knew her.

Franny was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Dymarkowski; parents, Nick and Serafina DiLorenzo; brother-in-law Norman Lopinski; sister-in-law Natalie Reed; and brother-in-law Bill Sader.

She is lovingly survived by her children, Doug Dymarkowski (Brenda), Paul Dymarkowski (Charlotte) and Lynn Breen (Dan); grandchildren Danny Dymarkowski (Hannah), Mandy Martin (Kevin), Drew Dymarkowski, Delanie Dymarkowski, Molly Breen and Natalie Breen; great-grandchildren Evelyn Dymarkowski, Esther Dymarkowski, Calvin Dymarkowski, Levi Dymarkowski, Serafina Martin, Jameson Martin, Nolan Martin and Griffin “Kirby” Martin; sisters Donna Lopinski and Patty Sader; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

A visitation was held at the Walker Funeral Home followed by a funeral Mass at Christ the King Catholic Church,
Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider a donation to St. Francis de Sales high School, 2323 W. Bancroft, Toledo, OH 43607, Pettisville Missionary Church, 19055 Co Rd. D, Pettisville, OH 43553 or Christ the King Church, 4100 Harvest Lane, Toledo, OH 43623. Online condolences can be shared at walkerfuneralhomes.com.

Their relationship bloomed from there and the two got married at the ages of 19 and 21 where they were happily married for 72 years. She graduated from Maumee High School and proceeded to work as a manager at AT&T before becoming a full-time homemaker. In 1981, Nancy and her daughter, Elise, bought a women’s boutique called The Florence Shop where they owned and operated the business for 8 years. She loved doing all the office work, especially anything that involved accounting or bookkeeping. She excelled at knitting, creating the most beautiful and exquisite items, and will dearly be remembered for the loveliest sweaters that she would make for her family.

Nancy and her husband lived in Florida for 27 years before returning to Toledo 12 years ago. Nancy had many hobbies including researching her family lineage, hunting, fishing, playing slot machines, as well as traveling all over the world with her husband. She enjoyed gardening as well as gathering dandelions to make dandelion wine. She was a member of Catawba Island Club, the Toledo Club, and the Stuart Corinthian Yacht Club for years and was quite the hostess who frequently entertained guests at her home. She found a simple joy in collecting antique cut glass. She loved the finer things in life, good chocolates, good food, good spirits, and good friends.

Nancy was known for being the steady support of her husband in all that he did. They went everywhere together and could always be found enjoying their afternoon cocktail. She was an extremely proud grandmother and great grandmother who was fortunate to spend an abundance of quality time with her grandchildren in recent years. She will be missed dearly by all of her family and will always hold a special place in their hearts.

Wilfred “Bill” Ernest Herring, Jr.

Wilfred “Bill” Ernest Herring, Jr., 92, passed away on Tuesday, August 2, 2022. He was born on May 5, 1930, to Loretta (Tillman) and Wilfred, Sr. in Toledo. As a young man, Bill grew up in Ida, MI on the family farm at Lula and Jackman Road, and graduated from Dundee High School. His drive and sheer determination to succeed were obvious from a young age. He later attended Michigan State University with the intention of studying to become a veterinarian, and later switching his major to follow his true passion of building worthwhile relationships with people in the business school. After graduating, Bill served his country in the U.S. Army for two years in motor pool 13^th tank battalion, stationed out of Fort Hood, TX.

On June 16, 1950, Bill married the love of his life, Nancy Jean Ufer, whom he met at a local dance when she was 11 and he was 13. He later started his longtime career at Dana Corporation, where he would eventually retire at the young age of 58. While working at Dana, Bill achieved great success through his dedication to the company and strong work ethic and became President of Dana World Trade. His trademark “that’s my job” empowered and motivated others to be their best.

Bill was quite the extrovert – always entertaining and socializing. He loved cooking for large crowds, especially known for his grilling skills. He was an avid hunter for both large and small game and had many international travels and trips arranged around hunting. Fishing was another of his favorite pastimes, a passion that he made sure to share with his children and grandchildren. He truly was an outdoorsman who enjoyed the simple things and the company of his friends and family. Bill also loved animals throughout his life, eventually becoming a part owner in a ranch, finding a home for his best four-legged friend, his horse, Captain. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren are what brought him the most joy in the world. He was an exceptional family man that was supportive and encouraging to all.

Gerald “Gerry” Richard Koster

Gerald “Gerry” Richard Koster, 68, went home to be with the Lord peacefully in his home surrounded by his loved ones on September 4, 2022. He was born in Clare, Michigan on September 21, 1953, to his parents, Gerald and Luella (Groves) Koster.

Gerry attended Lake High School and graduated in 1971. After graduation, he went on to work for Jeep before becoming a police officer. He worked at Jeep for 20 years before joining the Northwood Police Department where he served for 4 years. From there he loyally protected the Sylvania Township for 25 years. He was a retired police officer from Sylvania Township P.D. and did his job tirelessly as he loved his job. He went on to marry the love of his life, then Cathy Lowe, right out of high school where they shared 51 wonderful years. Together they raised their three children.

Gerry was a member of the FOP and the Sylvania Senior Center. He spent multiple years as a D.A.R.E. officer and was the police officer at Whiteford Elementary School. He was very proud of the fact that he worked a full-time job while also a full-time student obtaining his Law Enforcement degree. He was an amazing dad growing up and wasn’t afraid to give a little tough love when it was needed. Despite his busy schedule, he never missed a game and was always there cheering on and supporting his kids. He liked spending time outdoors, fishing and hunting when he could, and enjoyed telling the infamous story about the only time he had to draw his service weapon was to kill a rogue emu. He had a passion for his Harley Davidson motorcycle, his wine making and his woodworking, but his absolute favorite pastime was his grandkids. He loved his wife’s cooking and was very particular in what he would eat- so much so that even the names of foods mattered. He had an interesting taste for pickled pigs’ feet and wouldn’t hesitate to sit down with the whole jar.

Gerald has always been known as a kindred man and would give the shirt off his back for others. He was loved beyond measure, unique, was very dependable and would never leave you behind. He was also a loyal, genuine, and trustworthy friend. If you ask those closest to him, supervising was a talent of his as well. Especially when he was delegating the yardwork amongst his children and grandchildren, making sure it was done right. Above all, the love, kindness, and compassion he carried will be remembered by all and his spirit will always remain.

Gerry is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Cathy Koster; children, Jeremy (Tiffany) Koster, Matt (Kerry) Koster, Missy (Jon) Ward; grandchildren, Ben, Aaron, Nathan, Randee, Trinity, Derek, Matty, Jonathan, Faith, Maggie, Devyn, Hatti; cousin, Cher Horner; best friend, Ron; and may other nieces, nephews, cousins, colleagues, and friends.

James Kujawa

James Kujawa, 61, passed away suddenly on Jan. 23, 2023. Jim was born Feb. 11, 1961, in Toledo, Ohio to parents Bernard and Elaine Kujawa. He graduated from Northview High School in Sylvania where he participated in the National Honor Society and sports. His love of sports continued through adulthood, and he played basketball in men’s leagues. His intensity and team spirit were fun to watch.

Family was extremely important to Jim and extensive traveling when he was young inspired a lifelong love of travel. Jim not only traveled as far as Hawaii with family, but he also went on many youth trips as far as Washington state. As a teen he was included in a trip to Mexico with a Spanish club that launched a love for other cultures and people.

Jim attended the University of Arizona where he met his wife, Debbie. They took full advantage of the mountains, sand dunes, hot tubs in the desert, tubing on the river, Disneyland, and the Grand Canyon. Back in Toledo/Sylvania, they had a son and daughter together and Jim loved playing games with his kids. He would make up games to play with them based on children’s books and music. He had a great sense of humor and creativity in these games. They always involved laughing, running around the house, and jumping from furniture. When daughter Lindsay got older and involved with horse shows, Jim would travel all over with her as her fierce supporter and always provided great insight.

Nature and the outdoors were always a love of Jim’s. It did not matter if it was hot, cold, rainy, or snowy. He loved photographing new and interesting things in nature and researching them when he got home. Camping, swimming, biking, hiking, planting vegetables and flowers, were all passions of his.

Jim followed in his father’s footsteps in the field of plumbing. He learned from relatives and experienced plumbers in the field. Those experiences molded him to be well-rounded in the field of construction and to be a team player in any construction project. As his dad grew older, he took on more responsibility in the business. Jim especially liked the challenge of large commercial projects. He was respected for his extensive knowledge in the field and for his ability to problem solve. He was a role model for many.

Jim was an avid reader in many genres and began asking big life questions. This led him to faith in Jesus and desire to serve in a Bible-believing church. He served at Emmanuel Baptist Church as a deacon, men’s ministry, prayer groups, Bible study groups, and fixing things for the church and anyone in need. He went on many construction mission trips with groups from Emmanuel to Chile, Brazil, and Argentina to help build churches. He loved immersing himself in the cultures of South America.

Jim was so kind-hearted that everyone knew he would try his best to help them, whatever the problem, and treat them with respect. He was loved and will be missed by many.Jim is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Debbie Kujawa, son Corey (Jennifer) Kujawa, daughter Lindsay (Corey) Ruetz; grandchildren Kurt and Serena; brother Daniel (Mia) Kujawa, sister Laura (Rick) Smith; sisters-in-law Di (Michael) McGing and Pam (Kevin) Baas, brother-in-law Todd (Kay) Sauter; mother and father in-law Tom and Nancy Sauter; aunts Marge Kujawa and Phyllis Kujawa; many nieces and nephews; and many cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bernard and Elaine Kujawa.

Those wishing to give memorials are asked to consider Central Missionary Clearinghouse: Ron Self ministry in Argentina. Emmanuel Baptist Church can help to arrange this if desired.
