Antonette S. Hoen
Antonette (Toni) S. Hoen, age 69, of Delta, Ohio, a beloved educator and cherished matriarch, entered into eternal life Monday morning, January 20, 2025, at StoryPoint in Waterville, surrounded by the love of her devoted husband, Michael. Born on July 8, 1955, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Anton and LaVerne (Piotrowski) Schlesinger, Toni illuminated the lives of those around her with warmth, kindness, and compassion.
Toni had a profound commitment to nurturing young minds. She was a special education teacher at Anthony Wayne Junior High, where her influence will long be remembered by her students and colleagues alike. Her educational journey began at Parma High School, where her dedication to learning blossomed. She continued her education at The Ohio State University, earning her Bachelor's in Education. She expanded her career by completing her Masters degree at Bowling Green State University, while working and raising her family.
Toni was revered as a "Super Mom" and a loving grandmother. She took great joy in engaging with her children and grandchildren, serving as a steadfast chauffeur, taking them to many extracurricular activities. She took pride in raising four wonderful children, Rebecca Murry (Andy Miller), Emily (Joshua) Early, William (Lauren) Hoen, and Melissa (Tyler) Imfeld, each of whom carry forward her legacy of being "nice and kind and gentle." Additionally, she was blessed with the delight of ten grandchildren, whose lives were enriched by her presence and devotion.
In her personal life, Toni was deeply committed to her family, helping her husband operate the farm, which underscored her strong work ethic and unwavering support for those she loved. Toni was also musically gifted - she played the flute and piano - and passed down her love of music to her children. She was also a devout Catholic and regularly attended Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Parish.
Toni was preceded in death by her parents, Anton and LaVerne (Piotrowski) Schlesinger; and her father and mother-in-law, William and Margaret Hoen.
She leaves behind her loving husband of 44 years, Michael; her children; grandchildren; and her brother, Mark (Kathleen) Schlesinger. All of whom will carry her memory in their hearts forever.
Visitation will be held Monday, January 27th, from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m., at the Weigel Funeral Home in Swanton. Visitation will continue Tuesday, January 28th, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Assumption, where a Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 11:00 am, with Fr.

Colonel Charles "Chuck" Conner, Jr.
Colonel Charles "Chuck" Conner, Jr., age 95, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 20, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was born November 15, 1929, in Toledo to Charles and Dora (Hannenkath) Conner, and later married his wife and guiding light, Charlotte (Izaguirre) Conner, who helped him through all things, especially in the military.
Chuck was raised by his mother and grandmother, where he eagerly jumped into the work force at the age of 13, first as a runner for the milk man where he progressed to selling Toledo Blade newspapers and was an usher for Paramount Theatre. He graduated from Woodward High School in 1947 at the age of 17.
After graduation in 1947, he began two careers with the Toledo Blade and the Ohio National Guard 37th Division, attaining the rank of Sergeant 1st Class. At the Blade, he started work as an office boy in the accounting department and worked his way up to be an Executive in the advertising department, retiring after a 45 year long career.
Shortly after starting both jobs, he left the Ohio National Guard after 3 years because he was drafted into the U.S. Army infantry as PVT-E-1, beginning active duty in 1951. Chuck proudly served his country and was accepted into the 6-month long Officers Candidate School where he graduated as a 2nd LT in Fort Benning, GA, in 1952, and then was discharged as a 1st LT in 1954. From there he enlisted in the Ohio National Guard as a 1st LT in 1955, and retired in 1983 from the Ohio National Guard as a full Colonel. Chuck commanded two companies, two battalions, and the 371st Support Group. He graduated from infantry officer candidate school at Fort Benning, GA, Military Police Advanced School in Augusta, GA, the Nuclear and Biological Orientation Course, National Defense University Defense Strategy Course, and the U.S. Army Command and Central Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, KS.
At the time of his retirement, he commanded a brigade consisting of military units across 16 cities in the state of Ohio. He was conducted into the Infantry Officers Hall of Fame for the U.S. Army, as well as the Woodward High School Hall of Fame. Colonel Conner received many awards, including the U.S. Army Commendation Medal and the prestigious United States of America Legion of Merit.
Chuck was a lifelong member of River View Yacht Club, a member of the American Legion, Old Newsboys, Raggdy's, and 37th Division Ohio National Guard Association U.S. Army. He was also a member of the Retired Military Officers Association, the Veteran Motor Card Club, and the Washington Township Board of Appeals for many years.
His many accomplishments in life would not have been made possible without the support of his amazing wife, Charlotte. She always supported him in his career, military service, and even his spare time (which he often spent restoring cars and owning boats). His most prized possessions were his 1953 Packard Caribbean Convertible, which required 5 years of his time, and his 1955 17-foot Chris Craft Ski Boat. However, above all, Charlotte was the most compassionate, wonderful, daredevil of a wife for 44 years, who he cherished the most as his soul mate. His family meant so much to him and profoundly changed him as a man.
Chuck is survived by his children, Greg (Patti) Conner, Deidre L. Conner, Jeffrey A. Conner, Wendy L. Conner; grandchildren, Joey Conner, Katie Hoffer, Correy Wagner, Roger Wagner, Becky Hand; great-grandchildren, Westin Conner, Raven Wagner, Nina Hand; and many nephews, nieces, and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Joseph (Hannah) Hannenkrath; parents, Charles (Dora) Conner; wife, Charlotte R. Conner; daughter-in-law, Eileen Conner.
Family and friends can support the family at Visitation on Sunday, January 26, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Avenue, Toledo, OH. Funeral services will follow on Monday, January 27, 2025, at 11 a.m. at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, 5240 Talmadge Rd. Condolences and flowers can be sent to the family at www.walkerfuneralhomes.com, or a monetary donation can be made out to St. Matthews Episcopal Church, 5240 Talmadge Rd, in Chuck's honor.

Joseph Edward Lawless
2/5/1946 - 1/17/2025
Joseph Edward Lawless passed away peacefully on January 17th at Hospice of Northwest Ohio.He passed away on a Friday during happy hour with a smile on his face.
Joe grew up in Upper Arlington. He received a Bachelor's degree in Finance from The Ohio State University, where he met his wife of 53 years, Christina Lee Lawless (McClain).He was a proud veteran who served with the U.S. Air Force in Japan and played on their football team, prior to beginning his business career.
He started at World Savings and Loan in Denver, Colorado, followed by many years traveling the world with Hayes Travel Agency in Perrysburg. Thereafter, he started his own business, Corporate Housing Systems, that he operated until he 'retired', and his son continues to manage.
Joe and Chris had 4 children, and dedicated their lives to their family and the community around them. Joe's volunteering extended from children's sports leagues such as Big Gold Football and Junior Jackets Basketball, to a variety of local boards including Perrysburg Schools Foundation, Convention and Visitor's Bureau, Toledo Country Club, Fort Meigs Cemetery, and the National Trade Association. Joe served as an elected official on Perrysburg City Council for 16 years, 8 of which he served as President with an emphasis on Parks and Recreation.
Joe's passion for travel and sports led him to play some of the greatest golf courses around the globe. However, his favorite has always been Toledo Country Club, where he was a faithful member for nearly 50 years, spending much of that time in the Men's Locker Room. He was a devoted fan and season ticket holder of Ohio State football, rarely missing a bowl game and an opportunity to create lifelong memories with his friends and children.
Joe was a loving husband, father, grandfather (fondly known as "The Wizard"), uncle, brother, and friend to many. His authenticity, sense of humor, confidence, curiosity, wisdom, generosity, love, and joy were appreciated by those he knew well and many he met in passing.Whether playing golf, enjoying a game, cruising on his boat or Harley, or enjoying a drink, Joe was happiest making personal connections.Throughout his life, he touched so many and to quote a good friend of Joe's "there will never be another Joe Lawless." He lived by the mantra "I'm not here for a long time, just a good time."
Joe was preceded in death by his mother and father, Mary Ann and Edward Lawless; and his sister, Marie Lawless.He leaves behind his wife, Christina Lawless; his children, J.P. Lawless (Kori), Mac Lawless (Arien), Reed Lawless, and Janet Lawless (Patrick Carroll); his 8 grandchildren, Jack, Will, Vivian, Elsie, Mac, Caroline, Teddy, and Hayes; and sisters, Beth Lawless and Patty Berns; as well as many nieces and nephews.
A heartfelt thank you to the physicians and caregivers who comforted Joe the past few years, including the teams at Kingston Assisted Living of Perrysburg, and Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
Joe celebrated life and was present for all those around him. Contributions in his memory can be made to Perrysburg Schools Foundation or Hospice of Northwest Ohio. Visitation hours will be held Friday, January 24th, from 4-7 p.m., at the Witzler-Shank-Walker Funeral Home, 222 E. South Boundary St., Perrysburg, and the family will be hosting a celebration Saturday afternoon, from 2-5 p.m. at Toledo Country Club to come together and share stories to remember Joe's exceptional life, as everyone that knew him has a "Joe Lawless" story.

Joseph Edward Lawless passed away peacefully on January 17th at Hospice of Northwest Ohio.He passed away on a Friday during happy hour with a smile on his face.
Joe grew up in Upper Arlington. He received a Bachelor's degree in Finance from The Ohio State University, where he met his wife of 53 years, Christina Lee Lawless (McClain).He was a proud veteran who served with the U.S. Air Force in Japan and played on their football team, prior to beginning his business career.
He started at World Savings and Loan in Denver, Colorado, followed by many years traveling the world with Hayes Travel Agency in Perrysburg. Thereafter, he started his own business, Corporate Housing Systems, that he operated until he 'retired', and his son continues to manage.
Joe and Chris had 4 children, and dedicated their lives to their family and the community around them. Joe's volunteering extended from children's sports leagues such as Big Gold Football and Junior Jackets Basketball, to a variety of local boards including Perrysburg Schools Foundation, Convention and Visitor's Bureau, Toledo Country Club, Fort Meigs Cemetery, and the National Trade Association. Joe served as an elected official on Perrysburg City Council for 16 years, 8 of which he served as President with an emphasis on Parks and Recreation.
Joe's passion for travel and sports led him to play some of the greatest golf courses around the globe. However, his favorite has always been Toledo Country Club, where he was a faithful member for nearly 50 years, spending much of that time in the Men's Locker Room. He was a devoted fan and season ticket holder of Ohio State football, rarely missing a bowl game and an opportunity to create lifelong memories with his friends and children.
Joe was a loving husband, father, grandfather (fondly known as "The Wizard"), uncle, brother, and friend to many. His authenticity, sense of humor, confidence, curiosity, wisdom, generosity, love, and joy were appreciated by those he knew well and many he met in passing.Whether playing golf, enjoying a game, cruising on his boat or Harley, or enjoying a drink, Joe was happiest making personal connections.Throughout his life, he touched so many and to quote a good friend of Joe's "there will never be another Joe Lawless." He lived by the mantra "I'm not here for a long time, just a good time."
Joe was preceded in death by his mother and father, Mary Ann and Edward Lawless; and his sister, Marie Lawless.He leaves behind his wife, Christina Lawless; his children, J.P. Lawless (Kori), Mac Lawless (Arien), Reed Lawless, and Janet Lawless (Patrick Carroll); his 8 grandchildren, Jack, Will, Vivian, Elsie, Mac, Caroline, Teddy, and Hayes; and sisters, Beth Lawless and Patty Berns; as well as many nieces and nephews.
A heartfelt thank you to the physicians and caregivers who comforted Joe the past few years, including the teams at Kingston Assisted Living of Perrysburg, and Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
Joe celebrated life and was present for all those around him. Contributions in his memory can be made to Perrysburg Schools Foundation or Hospice of Northwest Ohio.

1941-2025
Judith "Judy" Ann Martin, 83, died peacefully beside her husband of 57 years on January 18th, 2025, at their home after her battle with Parkinson's disease. She filled the world with love and acceptance, and left it a better place for her family. She was the glue for the family and provided strength through many trying times. Judy was a wife, widow, sister, daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, niece, and aunt.
Judy was born on October 26, 1941, in Toledo, Ohio, to Esther (Hahn) and Walter Frederick Stark. She has brothers, Robert and Michael. She graduated from Devilbiss in 1959. After graduating from high school, she obtained a two-year degree to become an X-ray technician. She worked at The Toledo Hospital full-time until 1970, and then part-time for prominent orthopedic surgeons in Sylvania and Toledo until 1984. She married Ralph Thomas Laney on September 15th, 1961, in Toledo, Ohio, until his death on February 16th, 1966. They had three children, Timothy Allen, Douglas John, and Steven James. She remarried Ray Lester Martin on January 20th, 1968, in Toledo, Ohio, and they had one child, Elizabeth Ann.
She was blessed to work part-time and raise her four children while pursuing creative outlets. She owned several businesses from "Just-In Time" with her sister-in-law, "The Sylvania Depot," and "JRs Stuff." From 1990 to 2004, she was the proprietress of "Mrs. Martin's Mercantile and Millinery," which reproduced Civil War women's clothing from the skin out. She was revered as one of the foremost experts in costume reproduction in the United States, and had clients in Europe as well. Judy hosted national Civil War conferences, concentrating on the social history of the 1860s for ten years. The event was called "The Ladies of the 1860s." After she retired and sold the business and clothing for the movie "Gettysburg," she was an active quilter who produced many beautiful quilts for her friends and family. She loved to travel with her family to all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, China, and multiple Caribbean islands. She was an avid reader and survived reading two of her daughter's master's thesis.
She was preceded in death by her son, Timothy Allen; her parents; and a husband. Her legacy will live on in her husband; children, Douglas, Steven, and Elizabeth; daughters-in-law, Cathrine (Tobianski) Laney and Jill (Chorney) Laney; grandchildren, Alicia, Christopher, Ryan, Kyle, and Jessica; and great-grandchildren, Reagan, Ellen, and Peyton; brothers, Robert and Michael Stark; and nieces, Cheryl and Leslie Ebinger.
The family extends their deepest gratitude to Hospice of Northwest Ohio for their compassionate care, and well as to their wonderful caretaking who supported Judy over her journey.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that you extend a hand to someone in need or your favorite charity, as Judy did throughout her life.
