Dolores S. Szczublewski -
Dolores S. Szczublewski
Dolores S. Szczublewski, age 91, of Toledo, passed away on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at the Waterford at Levis Commons surrounded by her loving family. She was born on May 1, 1934, in Toledo, OH, to Stanley and Louise (Turski) Bronisz, and married the love of her life, Jerome Szczublewski, on September 25, 1954. Dolores was a proud alumna of Central Catholic High School "Class of 1951." She retired as a dispatcher for Lucas County Jobs and Family Services after 20+ years. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and homemaker, she supported her children in all their activities and was an active member of the Band Boosters at Central Catholic. A wonderful cook, she was known for her duck soup (czarnina) which she always claimed was for her "favorite" son. (All four of them were convinced that they were "the one.")
Dolores was a longtime parishioner of Regina Coeli Catholic Church where she served as a Minister of the Holy Eucharist and member of the Altar Rosary Society. She volunteered at St. Vincent Hospital for 15 years, delivering flowers and encouragement to patients. She was also a dedicated blood donor and member of the Red Cross's 4 Gallon Club. Dolores loved playing Bunko with her girlfriends and was a member of the "Red Hat Society." She was an avid reader, who also loved watching TV, especially Hallmark movies. She bowled in several leagues and was able to continue well into her seventies.
Dolores was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Jerome; and grandson, Gregory Szczublewski. She is survived by her daughters, Louise (William) Stader, Joyce (Ronald) Purk and Sharon (Donald) Cogan; sons, Jerome "Jay" (Darlene), James (Theresa), David (Brenda) and Robert Szczublewski; grandchildren, Kathryn (John) Feighery and Christopher Stader, Moriah (Chris) Farkas and Matthew (Alisa Chew) Szczublewski, Joseph (Lexy Lehman) and Willow Szczublewski, Douglas (Amanda) Szczublewski and Kelly (James) Montgomery, Jennifer and Richard Szczublewski, Angela, Amelia, and Nathan Purk, and Nikki (Mea) Adrael. Also surviving are 10 great-grandchildren, with number 11 soon to arrive; her brother, Stanley "Stas" (Carol) Bronisz; and niece and goddaughter, Elena Bronisz.
Visitation will be Monday, January 19, from 2:00-8:00 p.m., at Sujkowski Funeral Home Northpointe, 114 E. Alexis Rd., with a rosary at 6:00 p.m., and Tuesday, from 8:30-9:30 a.m. Funeral services will begin Tuesday, at 9:30 a.m., in the funeral home, and continue with the Funeral Mass in Regina Coeli Church, at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow in Calvary Cemetery.

Ellen Elizabeth Snyder -
Ellen Elizabeth Snyder
September 10, 1936 - January 11, 2026
Ellen Elizabeth Snyder, a resident of Toledo, Ohio, was born on September 10, 1936, in Plymouth, Indiana. Ellen trusted in Christ as her personal Savior at a young age. She was passionate about her faith and shared the gospel with people who came across her path. While serving at a rescue mission, she met her future husband, Pastor Bruce Snyder. They served faithfully together at several different churches for over 60 years.
Ellen, most notably, was a teacher. She was always teaching someone! She taught Home Ec at Emmanuel Christian in Toledo. She also developed a curriculum to teach toddlers in the church nursery. Teaching littles from the time they could sit in a chair and seeing them quote Bible verses was one of her greatest joys. In addition, Ellen mentored future pastors wives when their husbands were attending seminary. Because of her love for Christ, and anticipation of seeing her Savior face-to-face, she, along with her husband, adopted the motto "Perhaps Today." That motto is now her reality. On January 11, 2026, she met her Lord and Savior in Heaven.
Ellen is survived by her five children, Brenda (Bob) Shawver, Bruce (Janice) Snyder, Brent (Sharon) Snyder, Beth (Darrin) White, and Brian (Cindy) Snyder; sixteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She is at peace in Heaven and reunited with faithful loved ones who have preceded her in death. Ellen would tell you that death is not the end. It is just the beginning for those who trust Christ as their personal Savior!
A celebration of life service will be held Monday, January 19th, at 12:30 p.m. Respects can be paid beginning at 11:00 a.m., at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 4207 Laskey Rd., Toledo, Ohio, 43623. Interment will take place at Toledo Memorial Park directly following the service. Condolences for Ellen's family may be expressed online at

Patricia Ann Raczkowski
Patricia A. Raczkowski, age 79, of Mentor, Ohio, and formerly of Toledo's Point Place community, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at Ahuja Medical Center in Beachwood, Ohio.
Pat was born on September 12, 1946, in Toledo, Ohio, to Walter and Lillian (Zaracki) Rutkowski. She was a graduate of Notre Dame Academy and the Northwest Ohio Practical Nursing Center. Pat devoted much of her professional life to caring for others, working as an LPN on the pediatric floor at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center and at Shoreland Early Childhood Center. She also worked as a pharmacy technician for Rite Aid and Kroger, retiring from Kroger in 2008.
A woman of deep faith and service, Pat was a longtime parishioner of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, where she served as a Eucharistic Minister and was a former president of the grade school PTA.

All of her nieces and nephews shared a special bond with her, affectionately calling her "Ciocia Patsy," a name that reflected her warmth and unwavering love.
To her grandchildren, she was "Busia," a role she embraced with pride and devotion. Being a grandmother was one of the greatest joys of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
Pat enjoyed visiting lighthouses and collecting lighthouse figurines. She also took great pride in her Polish heritage, enjoying traditional Polish foods and polka dancing, especially when shared with family and friends.
Pat is survived by her daughter, Alison (Mike) Lee of Chardon, Ohio; her son, David (Betha) Raczkowski of St. Louis, Missouri; and her cherished granddaughters, Katie Lee, Molly Lee, Anna Lee, and Mary Lee.

Ronald J. ("Scotty") Scott
August 29, 1932 - January 10, 2026
Ronald J. ("Scotty") Scott, 93, passed away peacefully on January 10, 2026, at The Grove at Oakleaf Village in Toledo, surrounded by his family, following a long journey with dementia. Born August 29, 1932, in Toledo, Ohio, Scotty lived a full life grounded in family, faith, and care for others.
He was the devoted husband of Mary Ann (Lendecker), whom he met in 1950 at the Liberty Theater in downtown Toledo. They married in 1955 and shared more than 70 years together, building a life filled with family, friends, travel, laughter, and cherished routines. Scotty and Mary Ann adopted their daughter, Michelle, whom they raised with love, guidance, and encouragement. He was a steady presence, always ready to help, offer advice, or lend a hand, often with a quiet sense of humor.
After graduating from Macomber High School, Scotty enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the Ordnance Corps during the Korean War from 1951 to 1953 with the 40th Infantry Division. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service in a combat zone and remained proud of his service throughout his life.
Scotty worked as a Tool and Diemaker at Autolite and Chevrolet, later moving into engineering leadership. He eventually became Engineering Manager at Tecumseh Products' Acklin Stamping, and also worked with Midwest Stamping, Chrysler Toledo Machining, and Dura Automotive Systems, earning respect for his knowledge, reliability, and willingness to help.
In retirement, Scotty stayed active, working part-time as a handyman at Spuyten Duyval Golf Course and assisting with maintenance at senior living communities. He was known as a true gentleman—considerate, patient, and easy to be around.
Sports were a lifelong passion, especially bowling, baseball, golf, and football. He played golf well into his 80s and enjoyed winters in Florida and Arizona with Mary Ann, as well as cruises throughout the Caribbean. He was a devoted grandfather who never missed his granddaughters' sporting events and loved cheering them on.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Ann; daughter, Michelle (Don Adamski); granddaughters, Alexandra Evola (Sam Evola) and Natalie Metzger (John Metzger); three great-grandchildren; brother, Jim; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ollie and Sophie Szkatulski.
Visitation will be held Sunday, January 18, 2026, from 3:00–6:00 p.m., with the Rosary at 5:30 p.m., at Walker Funeral Home, 5155 Sylvania Ave. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday, January 19, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., at Christ the King Church, 4100 Harvest Lane. Interment will be private at Toledo Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Christ the King Church or Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff of Hospice of Northwest Ohio and The Grove for their compassionate care.

Michael D. Bell was born on November 25, 1972, in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. He transitioned from this life on January 11th, 2026, at 10:06 a.m., in Sylvania, Ohio, in the presence of loved ones.
Mike was raised in a large and loving family in Bedford, Ohio, where he was fortunate to also gain an extended family of cherished, lifelong friends. He felt truly blessed to have been born into such a warm and close-knit family, and to have made so many close friends that became family to him. It didn't take him long to realize that life is much easier (and more fun) when surrounded by loving and loyal people.
Mike received his undergrad degree in psychology from Cleveland State University in 1996. He graduated from the University of Toledo Law School in 1999. After passing the Ohio bar, he practiced law in Toledo for over 20 years.
In October of 1998, Mike married his love and best friend, Kristin. In 1999 and 2002, he was blessed with the gift of baby girls, Lillian and Rachel.
As an associate, and later partner of the law firm of Gallon, Takacs & Boissoneault, Mike assisted hundreds of personal injury clients. Mike was active in the Toledo non-profit community and particularly relished his volunteer service on the boards of The Collingwood Arts Center and Northwest Ohio Community Shares.
Mike was preceded in death by his loving mother, Catherine Bell (Smith); sister, Jaqueline (Tim) Franks; and grandparents, Ralph and Isabel Smith, and Edwin and Deane Bell. He is survived by his father and great friend, Edwin D. Bell, Jr.; his beloved wife, Kristin (Jeska), and their wonderful daughters, Lillian and Rachel.
He is also survived by his father-in-law, Charles Jeska; and his dear siblings, Tom (Colleen), Debbie (Ray) Tittl, Diana (Jim) Guiselo, Janet (Tim) Buckley, Bobby (Colleen), Danny (Anita), Lori (Bill) Custer, Lisa (J.D.), Eddie (Heather), and Katie (Greg) Duber; along with many beloved nieces, nephews, and their many children.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, January 17th, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, in Sylvania, Ohio. Burial will follow at Fort Meigs Cemetery. A visitation for friends and relatives will be held on Friday, January 16th, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., at Walker Funeral Home, on Sylvania Avenue, in Toledo, Ohio.

Robin Whitzel
11/15/1947 - 12/24/2025
Robin passed away at the age of 78, on December 24, 2025, in the care of Hospice of NW Ohio. She was born in Toledo, OH, on November 15, 1947, to George Rahn and Evelyn Hirst (Watson/Rahn).
Robin lived in Toledo her whole life, graduating from Whitney HS in 1965. Starting off as a server in local restaurants, she then went on to work for Dr. Shaw, then to APS Billing before retiring from Lucas County Child Support after 18 years. Robin loved being retired; she was an avid bowler and was in up to 3 leagues at the same time.
Bowling was fun, however, dancing and good music were her passion. She never let age stop her from showing off her moves that won her "Queen of T Town." Friendships were just as important to her as she would spend hours on Saturdays playing Yahtzee with her best friend, Kathy. Robin was also a great euchre player and a member of the Misfits Euchre Club. You could also catch her cheering on her Buckeyes on Saturdays and her Steelers on Sundays.
Robin is lovingly remembered by her son, Troy (Linda); daughters, Tiffiny and Jodie; grandchildren, Jarrod (Brittany), Carlos (Nichole), Gabrielle, Danielle, and Darienne; eleven great-grandchildren; sisters, Sandy (Ray) and Becky (Roger); nephews, Danny and Alan; great-nieces, Taylor and Kayla; and her fur baby, Pilot.
Robin was preceded in death by her father, George; mother, Evelyn; and grandson, Evon Dixon.
There will be a Celebration of Life held on Saturday, January 17th, from 4-7 p.m., located at Capers, 2038 S. Byrne Rd, Toledo, OH.
Robin asks that any donations go to the Toledo Humane Society or Maumee Valley Save a Pet.

Susan Keck
Susan E. Keck, age 76, passed away on January 10, 2026, in Perrysburg, Ohio, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio. She was born in Toledo, Ohio, to Mac and Mary (Preece) Snyder on August 27, 1949. Sue married Larry Keck on December 4, 1970, while later raising together their son, Matthew, in Toledo, finally moving to Whitehouse in 1989, and residing there until her passing.

Sue was a long-time, involved, and dedicated member of Heritage Church of God in Maumee, OH, while being a lifelong Ohio State Buckeye fan (O-H!!). Early hobbies of snowmobiling, slalom water-skiing and camping gave way over time to multiple bible studies, following her grandsons around feverishly to a ballpark or concert where they played, or enjoying the Heritage Travelers on cruises and adventures around the world.
