Obituaries
Bridget Nora Mallon
Bridget Nora Mallon, 34, was taken from this world far too soon on April 15, 2025. Bridget was an amazing daughter, sister, cousin, and friend. She had a brilliant mind, a beautiful and loving heart, an independent spirit, and a gentle soul.
Bridget was born on March 13, 1991, to Pat and Marian (Keaveny) Mallon. She was joyfully welcomed by her big brothers, Sean and Brian. Bridget adored her brothers and looked up to them throughout her life. Throughout their childhood, teenage years, and into adulthood, the three siblings shared a special bond with their cousins, Eddie, Katie, and Rachel. They were a tight knit group of six and shared countless high jinks, hugs, and laughs together. Bridget also loved spending time with her large group of Mallon cousins and she added a special spark to holiday gatherings with them. She felt a special connection with her fellow "girl cousins" Alli, Molly, and Abby. She was thrilled to finally have a sister when Brian married his wife, Clarity, whom Bridget loved very much.
Bridget loved music, books, poetry, movies, comedy, concerts, and Broadway musicals. She was also a dog lover and her canine "sisters" Murphy, Riley, and Casey would leap for joy whenever Bridget returned home. She was proud of her Irish heritage and she shared a special connection with her Irish grandmother, Nora, for whom she was named. Bridget's Irish eyes were always smiling and you could hear the angels sing in the lilt of her laughter. She was known for her quick wit, which she inherited from her dad. You couldn't be with Bridget for long without hearing a clever quip or joke. Bridget had many close friendships throughout each stage of her life, beginning with her childhood neighbor and lifelong best friend, Jenny.
Bridget attended St. Catherine of Siena Elementary School and St. Ursula Academy. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Ohio University's E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and Honors Tutorial College. While at OU, Bridget met and bonded with the "castle girls." Patty, Beth, Katie, Chelsea, Katie, Jessie, and Bridget were roommates who shared the many adventures of college life together and remained close after graduation. Bridget loved them dearly.
Following college graduation, Bridget quickly made her way to the Big Apple where she achieved her childhood dream of living and working as a writer in New York City. Bridget had many fabulous adventures there, which she shared with her roommate and cousin, Rachel, and other friends including Michael, Skye, and Olivia who were living the big city dream together. Many wonderful and happy memories were made during mother-daughter weekends in the city with her mom, Rachel, and Aunt Denise. During her time in NYC, she also met another dear group of friends, the "Apartment Therapy Gals." They worked together for a time and maintained a close and lasting friendship despite moving on to other cities and jobs. During the pandemic, Bridget relocated to Columbus, Ohio, where she reconnected with old friends and, of course, formed many new friendships.
Bridget was a talented and accomplished writer, editor, editorial director, and content strategist. She worked and led editorial strategy for home sites like The Spruce, HGTV, Elle Decor, Apartment Therapy, and My Domaine. She was especially proud of successfully launching digital magazine issues on both MyDomaine and The Spruce, serving as creative director, editorial director, and project lead. For the past several years, she worked as a freelance writer and editor, most recently for Hearst Newspapers. Her writing has appeared in numerous print and digital publications including House Beautiful, Country Living, Family Circle, More, HuffPost, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Good Housekeeping, Veranda, and many more.
Bridget is survived by her parents, Pat and Marian Mallon; brothers, Sean and Brian (Clarity) Mallon; aunts and uncles, Ed "Eamon" (Denise) Keaveny, Mary Ann (Dave) Borer, Tim (Cindy) Mallon, Meg (Charlie) Sears; and cousins, Eddie, Katie, and Rachel Keaveny, Dan (Sherri) Borer, Matt (Kim) Borer, Kevin (Lindsey) Mallon, Jeff (Kendra) Mallon, Joe (Jill) Mallon, Molly (Jay) Hedrick, Abby (Andy) Robillard, Alli (Matt) Epperson, and JP Sears. Bridget was preceded in death by her grandparents, Eddie (Nora) Keaveny and Joe (Mary) Mallon.
Family and friends are invited to visit on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at St. Catherine of Siena Church, 4555 N. Haven, from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m., where the Mass of the Resurrection will begin at 10:30 a.m. Interment will be private.

Dr. Jeff Maludy
December 2, 1952 - April 20, 2025
Dr. Jeffrey C. Maludy died peacefully on April 20, 2025 at the Hospice of NW Ohio in Toledo, Ohio at the age of 72. Dr. Maludy was a compassionate and brilliant Cardiologist. He was well-loved by his patients and was always able to teach complex medical topics in a way that was accessible to anyone.
Dr. Maludy was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1952 to George and Betty (Bonis), who preceded him in death. He grew up with his sister, Pam, Uncle Jim and Aunt Katherine, graduating from Sylvania High School (now known as Sylvania Northview) in 1970. A lifelong Michigan fan, he did his undergraduate degree in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan, before going to medical school at the Medical College of Ohio. His internship was spent first at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN, before completing Internal Medicine training at The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. He came back to the University of Michigan to finish his medical training, a fellowship in Cardiology and Nuclear Cardiology. He worked at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center for over 3 decades and opened his own practice where he cared for hundreds of patients over the years.
Dr. Maludy enjoyed sailing from a young age, a passion that continued into his adulthood. Jeff was an accomplished sailor, racing his boat aptly named the "Adrenalin" in regattas around the country.
He is survived by his wife, Sue; children, Nick (Betsy), Danielle (Ashlynn), and Kyra (Sydney); as well as his step-children, Aileen (Katie) and Andrew; and sister, Pam (Irv) Maye. His grandchildren, Kaia, Sophia, and Peyton will miss their beloved Pappou.
The family will receive guests on Friday April 25, 2025 from 3:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at Walker Funeral Home in Sylvania. A short service will follow calling hours. All are welcome to celebrate and honor the life of Jeff.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Lawrence Elmer and Mary Scott, NP UTMC Neurology for years of upstanding care. Thanks also to Hospice of NW Ohio for honoring the promise of comfort at the end of his life.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Parkinson's Foundation of NW Ohio or to The University of Toledo Foundation: Parkinson's Research.

Yvonne "Bonnie" Marie Patterson
05/14/1935 - 04/17/2025
Yvonne "Bonnie" Marie Patterson passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family and friends, on April 17, 2025. She was born on May 14, 1935, to Charles and Mary Bevier in Toledo, Ohio. Bonnie attended Woodward High School and later married Norman Patterson; she devoted herself to raising a family and creating a warm loving home.
Bonnie had a passion for cooking, baking, and gardening. She was renowned for her exceptional baking skills, and her cooking was truly remarkable. Her pies, fried chicken, spaghetti, and pepper steak were unforgettable! Her home and garden were always well-kept and worthy of magazine features. In her 60s, Bonnie decided to join the workforce as a food demonstrator at Foodtown, and later at Kroger, where she thrived in a role that was as much about social interaction as it was about earning a paycheck. Everyone who met her couldn't help but love her.
Family and friends were the heart of Bonnie's world. She treasured the roles of Ma, Mom, Grandma, Gigi, Aunt Bonnie and Bonnie. Her grandsons, Curt and Greg, were the first to be showered with Grandma's love for 20 wonderful years before Sydney, Addison, and Evan arrived to share the joy. Bonnie embraced the digital age with enthusiasm, creating cherished memories with her grandchildren through FaceTime, TikTok videos, live Facebook sessions and liking every picture or story they posted. Later, she welcomed great-grandchildren, Vincent, Natalie, and Isabelle, each one bringing new light into her life. She also gained two bonus granddaughters, Megan and Bianca, who become part of her extended circle of love. Additionally, Aunt Bonnie was a guardian to her great-nephew, Nicholas, showering him with affection as well.
Bonnie is survived by her children, Donald (Nancy) Collins, Jennifer (Edward) Patterson; grandchildren, Curt (Bianca) Collins, Greg (Megan) Collins, Sydney Witek, Addison Witek, and Evan Thompson; and her great-grandchildren, Vincent, Natalie, and Isabelle. She is also survived by her great-nephew, Nicholas (Stacey) Okenka; brother-in-law, James Steedman; many beloved nieces and nephews; and dear friends who became family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Norman Patterson; her parents, Mary and Charles Bevier; her sisters, Charlotte, Madeline, and Josephine; and her brothers, Charles, Joseph, and Edward.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, April 27, 2025, from 1:30 p.m. until memorial service at 4:30 p.m., at Eggleston Meinert Pavley Funeral Home, 440 S. Coy Rd, Oregon, Ohio. A private graveside service will take place at St. Ignatius Cemetery, Oregon, Ohio.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Helping Hands of St. Louis, at 443 6th Street, Toledo, OH. Those wishing to share photos or memories may do so on the Eggleston Meinert and Pavley website or by emailing jen1delta@gmail.com.
