The family would like to extend a thank you to UTMC, Hickory Ridge of Temperance, St. Anne's Hospital and Hospice of Northwest Ohio for the love and tender care during her final days.

Mickey's family was the most important thing in her life. She will be remembered for her compassion and selflessness and her gentle spirit. She was God's angel here on earth. Everyone she knew, as well as those she just met will miss her special "hugs". Mickey was a giving and kind-hearted person who put cares and concerns of others before her own. She was a person who found great pleasure in the simple things in life and saw the world in rose-colored glasses. After their retirement over 30 years ago, she and Jim dedicated their lives to visiting their many friends at hospice, hospitals and nursing homes around the area. As volunteers for 13 years their treat for the week was listening to second graders say their Bible verses at Toledo Christian School.

Family and friends will be received at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4150 West Laskey Road, Toledo, on Wednesday, July 25, 2012, from 4:00 p.m until 8:00 p.m. and one hour preceding the funeral service at Point Place United Church of Christ, 4927 - 297th Street, Toledo, on Thursday, July 26 at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow in Ottawa Hills Memorial Park Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to Point Place United Church of Christ or Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
