Donald A. Magly
Donald A. Magly passed away May 22, after suffering his second stroke this year. After his first stroke in January, he recovered well enough to live independently at Glass Peaks Senior Living. Prior to that he lived in his own home – a testament to his life-long practice of exercise and good health habits.
Don was born in Toledo, March 24, 1932, to Donald C. and Maxine (Mundwiler) Magly. Most of his childhood was spent in Point Place where he enjoyed sailing and ice sailing. He attended Waite High School where he played baseball and graduated in 1950.
Don enlisted in the Navy and trained as an airport control operator. He served at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, where he had the honor of guiding the Blue Angels into the base and flying with them as a guest rider. He returned to Toledo and attended UT and taught ballroom dancing at Fred Astaire and Arthur Murray studios. After receiving his degree in business administration, he worked for Owens Illinois and the DeVilbiss Company. He finished his working career by teaching marketing at Owens Community College.
He married Doris Businger in 1958, and they taught ballroom dancing at various places in Toledo, including the Sun Oil Recreation. In his retirement they enjoyed trips to Florida and California. Don was also an avid golfer with a low handicap, and scored a hole in one at a Waite High School golf outing while in his 70s.
He is survived by his daughter, Deborah Johnson; grandchildren, Zachary Johnson (Amy), Valarie St. John (Jennifer), Carly Hess (Marty); great-grandchildren, Jordan, Riley, Hazel, and Nirvan; son- in-law, Ed Johnson; and his long-time friend and dance partner, Jeannette Lubinski.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Doris; his son, Richard Magly; and sister, Marilyn Thorsby.
An evening to celebrate his life will be held on Monday, June 23, from 4 to 7 p.m., at Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Ave. Internment will be Tuesday, June 24, at Toledo Memorial Park, at 10 a.m., for the family.

Sylvia Smith
Sylvia Smith, 82, of Weston, Ohio, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on June 7, 2025, in Mesa, Arizona. She was the daughter of Clarence and Gertrude Terrell of London, Kentucky. Sylvia was residing at her vacation home in Mesa, Arizona, at the time of her passing.
Sylvia was born in Kettle Island, Kentucky, a small coal mining community located in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky. She was a coal miner's daughter, and shared many stories of her childhood that mirror the lyrics of the famous Loretta Lynn song. One of 8 siblings, she moved to Ohio at the age of 14 to help one of her older sisters who had moved to northwest Ohio and was raising three young children including recently born twins. She initially attended Westwood High School in Wood County, where she met her future husband, Dan Smith, of Weston, Ohio. Sylvia graduated from Otsego High School in 1961. She and Dan were married for over 60 years until the time of his passing in 2022.
She retired from Bowling Green State University in 2001 after a 20+ year career working in the Dean's Office of the College of Business. In addition to BGSU, Sylvia was employed at several full-time jobs during her career while also raising two children and assisting Dan with farm work most evenings, nights and weekends in the spring and fall. She worked tirelessly to make a better life for her family.
When not working, she and Dan enjoyed many weekends and vacations at the cabin they owned in the Allegheny Mountains in northwestern Pennsylvania. After her retirement, she and Dan began spending the winter months in Mesa, Arizona, where they participated in many activities, most notably competitive shuffleboard, a sport in which Sylvia became very proficient. She won numerous local, regional, national and international events, and was a multi-time Gold Medalist at the United States Senior Olympics. She and Dan represented the United States Shuffleboard Team at international events all over the world including Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Germany, and Norway. Sylvia was active as an officer of several Shuffleboard associations, including being the Western Regional Director of the USA National Shuffleboard Association. She was inducted into the USA National Shuffleboard Hall of Fame in 2016, and the Arizona Shuffleboard Hall of Fame in 2018. After Dan passed away, she continued to participate in shuffleboard tournaments with her friend and companion, Chuck Crouse, taking home many more trophies and awards, most recently at the Arizona State Doubles Tournament in March of 2025.
Sylvia was a lifelong member of St. Louis Catholic Church in Custar, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dan Smith, of Weston, OH; her siblings, Ronnie Terrell, Madge Henderson, Patricia Sharp, Bob Terrell, Linda Smith, Darrell Terrell and John Smith. She is survived by her friend and companion, Chuck Crouse, Mesa, AZ; her sister, Margie Pauldine of Hamilton, OH; her son, Kyle (Cherie) of Marietta, GA; daughter, Kim Griffith (Jeff), Weston, OH; two granddaughters, Savannah Smith (TJ), Columbus, OH; and Sommer Smith, of Carrollton, GA; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Visitation for Sylvia will be held on Thursday, June 19, 2025, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., at Deck-Hanneman Funeral Home, 1460 W. Wooster Street, Bowling Green. Her Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, June 20, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., at St. Louis Catholic Church, 22792 Defiance Pike, Custar, OH 43511.
