Becky Save
2/22/1959 - 7/15/2025
Becky Lynn Save, age 66, peacefully entered the Kingdom of Heaven on July 15, 2025.
Born on February 22, 1959, in Maumee, Ohio, Becky was the second of three daughters to Marilyn and Richard Schultz. She grew up alongside her sisters, Debbie and Cindy, forming lifelong bonds.
A proud graduate of Maumee High School, Becky completed her studies in just three years, graduating in 1976. It was during those years that she met her high school sweetheart, Daniel Save. The two were married on May 21, 1994, and together they built a life rooted in love, faith, and family. They made their home in Holland, Ohio, where they renovated their house and raised their miracle daughter, Ashley June.
Becky worked for many years in her family's building supply business before dedicating herself fully to motherhood and caring for those she loved. She was the heart of her family and a motherly presence to many, including her daughter's friends, nieces, and nephews, all of whom were touched by her warmth and generous spirit.
Lovingly known as "Dr. Becky," she became the go-to caretaker in the family, especially during times of illness, offering compassion and strength to those in need. Her deep faith and commitment to prayer made her a true spiritual warrior. Becky had a special gift for noticing life's small, beautiful moments, such as an eagle soaring in the sky, a new flower blooming, or pictures in the clouds. She found joy in the outdoors, whether she was fishing, gardening, or soaking in the sun.
Becky had a gentle soul and was a natural at making others feel loved and seen. She could strike up a conversation with anyone and often had strangers opening up to her as if they had known her for years. She had a way of making you feel as if you were her favorite person in the world when talking to you.
In 2022, Becky was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. A true fighter, she endured grueling treatments and rang the bell cancer-free in 2023. Her strength and determination were a testament to her fierce love for her family, especially her desire to be present for her daughter, Ashley's, wedding in June 2025. It was a miracle and a blessing that she was able to be part of such a joyful day, standing beside her daughter and best friend.
Becky was preceded in death by her mother, Marilyn Schultz; her brother-in-law, Mike Save; and her father-in-law, Max Save.
She is survived by her husband, Dan Save; her beloved daughter, Ashley, and son-in-law, Isaiah LaJoie; her father, Richard Schultz; her sisters, Debbie Bedford and Cindy Eldridge; her brothers and sisters-in-law; and many cherished nieces and nephews.
Her family will carry on her legacy of kindness, generosity, strength, and faith, forever inspired by the love she gave so freely.
A celebration of life will be held at a future date, with details to come from the family.

David Young
02/16/1936 - 07/17/2025
The Reverend David Cook Young, retired Presbyterian Minister of Word and Sacrament, died on his 60th wedding anniversary, with his beloved wife, Marcia, and family by his side.
Forever a New Yorker at heart, David served Fairgreen Presbyterian Church of Toledo, OH, for 22 years and First Presbyterian Church of Bowling Green, OH, for 14 years, before retiring to Indianapolis in 2017.
David was born in New Rochelle, NY, and was valedictorian of his class at Katonah High School. A 1958 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Bowdoin College in Maine, David went on to earn his Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary in NYC in 1962, and was ordained in Hudson River Presbytery. David served as a Teaching Elder in the Presbyterian Church (USA), fulfilling multiple leadership roles in Columbus and Maumee Valley Presbyteries in Ohio. He pastored Thompson Ridge and Pine Bush Presbyterian Churches in NY; Second Presbyterian Church in Newark, OH; Fairgreen Presbyterian Church in Toledo, OH; and First Presbyterian Church of Bowling Green, OH. Upon retirement, he led many congregations in Northwest Ohio as a transitional pastor. David contributed his gifts as president of Kiwanis Club and chair of the Human Relations Committee of Bowling Green, OH. He championed interfaith, ecumenical, and social justice initiatives throughout his ministry.
Beginning in high school and continuing through college and beyond, David ran long distances, competitively and for enjoyment, for six decades. A voracious reader, his pen meticulously underlined and marked the margins of books. His scholarly, contemporary, and humorous sermons filled yellow legal pads in his exquisite handwriting. Inspired by theologian Karl Barth, he prepared sermons with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other. He imbued the ministry with critical analysis, dignity, music, and warmth and celebrated vibrant worship in the Reformed tradition.
David rejoiced in cheering on his grandchildren; sailing with friends on Lake Erie; traveling the U.S. and abroad; and since 1941, traveling to Eagle Camp, on Grand Isle in Lake Champlain, in Vermont.
David is survived by his wife, Marcia Young, of Indianapolis; daughters, Jennifer Young (Anthony) Dzwonar of Indianapolis, and Jessica (Kurt) Young Brust of Union Mills, IN; grandchildren, David and Jacob Dzwonar and Elspeth and Adelaide Young Brust; siblings, Philip Young (Toronto, ON), Jocelyn VanBuskirk (Washington, MO), and Patience Young (Palo Alto, CA); and cousins, Christopher Dermer and Gillian Lloyd (Kent, England). He was preceded in death by parents, Richard and Virginia Cook Young.
Donations may be made to the Presbyterian Church (USA), Southern Poverty Law Center, or Legacy Hospice (Carmel, IN).
A Service of Witness to the Resurrection will take place at Northminster Presbyterian Church, in Indianapolis, on Friday, August 15, at 12:00 p.m. Visitation at the church will begin at 11:00 a.m. A meal at the church will follow the service.

7/21/2025 Milo Lawrence Danzeisen - Obituaries


Milo Lawrence Danzeisen
Milo Lawrence Danzeisendied July 20, 2025. He was born when all the world was young, in a Michigan farmhouse on March 4, 1931—a time of innocence and hardship shaped by the Great Depression. Born to Carl Valentine Danzeisen and Frieda Lorena (Magsig) Danzeisen, Milo arrived unexpectedly as a twin. His birth was a surprise, but life soon taught him that time is never guaranteed. When his twin brother, Mendel, passed away at just seven years old, the loss stayed with Milo always, instilling in him a deep appreciation for every breath, every day, every year.
He grew up on a farm where hard work was expected, but he'd much rather pitch baseballs than pitch manure—the farm fields taught him grit, but the pitcher's mound was where his heart belonged.
Milo attended Eastern Michigan University, where he played baseball with his lifelong friend Ron Oestrike, a paragon of Midwestern baseball. More importantly, at EMU, he met Chrissie MacDonald, a bright, spirited woman whose love for Shakespeare and Scotland—her parents emigrated from the Outer Hebrides—matched his own passion for baseball, bridge, and ballroom dancing. They dated as undergraduates, both members of the Stoic Club (All A's), before life took them on separate paths. Milo earned his DDS at the University of Michigan, and Chrissie earned her Master of Education there as well.
Milo served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Zweibrücken, Germany, where he refined his skills as a dentist while experiencing life abroad. His career later took him even farther—he was among the first American dentists to visit Russia, a pioneering journey that reflected his curiosity, professionalism, and adventurous spirit. After the Army, fate reunited him with Chrissie—some love stories are simply meant to be.
They married in 1961, settled in Sylvania, Ohio, and raised a family while becoming stalwarts of the local community. Milo carried his steady hands from the pitcher's mound to the dental chair, building a respected career. But baseball always remained at his core. He coached his sons' Little League teams, joined years of spring trips with the EMU Hurons/Eagles and Coach Oestrike, and was a perennial Toledo Mud Hens ticket holder. He and Chrissie loved nothing more than watching a game from the stands. A devoted fan of both the Detroit Tigers and the Cincinnati Reds, he appreciated the art of the game—from the Little Leagues to the Big Leagues.
In the seventh inning of his baseball life, Milo founded Dr. D's, a local Federation team filled with homegrown talent. Dr. D's became a frequent contender in the National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Milo's other great athletic passion was jogging. He credited Ken Cooper, MD, the "Father of Aerobics," with instilling the discipline that kept him moving. Milo ran the Glass City Marathon long before running marathons became trendy.
Later in life, he discovered a new creative passion: painting. Whether throwing a fastball, perfecting a filling, or capturing beauty on canvas, Milo had an artist's touch. As the years passed, he and Chrissie embraced life fully—traveling the world, cruising oceans, wandering Europe, exploring everywhere curiosity led them. Their golden years were filled with adventure, joy, and above all, family. With seven beloved grandchildren, Milo found deep happiness in watching their lives unfold—sharing his wisdom, laughter, and love.
To quote Baseball Hall of Fame Manager and friend Jim Leyland: "In baseball and in life, all a guy can do is try his best and have fun doing it." Milo lived with heart and gave his best—on and off the field and in and out of the dental chair. He carried the spirit of the game and his profession with him always, leaving behind a legacy of perseverance and kindness.
Milo is survived by his children: David (Kathryn), John, Kevin (Wendi), and Julie (Mark); and seven grandchildren: Gabrielle, Sophia, Logan, Annalise, Lexi, Chrissie, and Ian. He is also survived by many beloved Danzeisen and MacDonald relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Frieda; his brothers Mendel and Gene; his daughter Catherine; and his wife of 55 years, Chrissie MacDonald Danzeisen.
Family and friends may visit on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Avenue. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at Olivet Lutheran Church, 5840 Monroe St., with an hour of visitation prior. Interment will follow at Toledo Memorial Park. Donations in Milo's honor can be made to Olivet Lutheran Church, and Sylvania Area Family Services.
When asked what he wanted to be remembered for, Milo said:
"I did the best I could—raising my family with Chrissie, taking care of teeth, making smiles, supporting my community, and of course… throwing strikes."
