Mary "Chooch" Minkowski, of Toledo, went to be with our Lord and Savior on October 14, 2008 at the age of 66. She was born April 10, 1942 to John and Mary Minkowski. Chooch worked for Lott Industries for many years up until her illness. She enjoyed playing cards, listening to country music, dancing and taking care of her baby doll. She will always hold a special place in our hearts and will be dearly missed by all who knew her. We will always treasure the memories of family celebrations and happy time she shared with us. We will miss our baby!
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by 5 brothers and 5 sisters. Chooch is survived by her loving caregiver, "Ma" Georgia Minkowski; special nieces, Cindy, Cheryl, Betty and Darla; special nephews, Jim and Jeff; sisters, Joanne, Margaret and Patricia; and a host of many other relatives.
