Gretchen Jean Oneail

On Thursday, September 10, 2020 Gretchen Oneail at 45 years old, wife, mother, daughter and sister, joined her beloved father (Dr. Carl V. Dreyer) in Heaven. Gretchen will be forever remembered by her husband and best friend Steve, their precious son, Garrett, by her mom, Katie Oneil, and by her brothers and sister Patrick, Kevin and Bridget. She will also be forever remembered by her numerous nieces, nephews and extended family and dear friends. She was born in and raised in Toledo. Wildly talented and creative, Gert was a skilled artist who loved primarily loved painting horses, but also loved her frogs and other critters. As an avid collector of model horses, she also became a well-known award-winning Equine Design Artist for the Breyer and Peter Stone model horse companies. She loved being outdoors, enjoyed fishing, camping, and working in her flower garden. Gert was a beautiful individual who deeply cared about her friends and family and we all will miss her smile, unique sense of humor, and presence in our lives; although she is gone from this world, we realize she has finally found peace and is now free from her pain.
