Born July 31, 1923, in Sugarcreek, she was the daughter of William W. and Matrona Domer Weiss.

She enjoyed traveling and visited many places in her lifetime. She also enjoyed driving country roads in her community with a friend or friends to find a route that they had never driven before. She enjoyed watching Amish farmers with their teams of horses working in their fields.

Part of her daily routine was reading two newspapers and watching her favorite TV show, Jeopardy. She enjoyed eating out and visiting with friends on her front porch. Her family and friends will dearly miss her.

(Corinne) Sedwick of Ashland, Ohio, and Kim (Sharon) Sedwick of Butler; five grandchildren, Tad (Melissa) Sedwick, Rob Sedwick and Renee of Ashland, Ohio, Amy Sedwick of Falls Church, Va., Meg Sedwick of San Diego, Calif., and Aby at home; and two great-grandchildren, Mya and Ady of Ashland, Ohio.
