Dorothy Ann Denker

Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Dorothy Ann Denker passed into the arms of our heavenly father on September 9, 2023 at the age of 90. Dorothy was born on May 3, 1933 in Toledo, Ohio. She was married on August 26, 1950 to Orville C. Denker. They enjoyed 67 years of marriage until his passing in 2017.

Dorothy had a passion for music. She loved to sing, and as her friends at The Lakes of Monclova can attest to, she could be quite entertaining. But, her main passion was her family. She was a born nurturer and truly loved children and animals.

Dorothy is survived by daughters, Lillian (James) Frayer, Linda (Tom) Neundorfer, Carol Rardin, and sons, Rudy (Tina) Denker and Ted (Sherri) Denker, as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Dorothy was preceded in death by husband, Orville; sisters, Mary Ellen Garvin, and Alice Piper; son-in-law, John Rardin; brother-in law Ted Denker; sister-in-law, Freda Osborne, and her husband William.

A private memorial service will be held on October 9, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. The service and arrangements have been entrusted to Maison-Dardenne-Walker, 501 Conant St., Maumee, Ohio. Interment will take place at Highland Memory Gardens, Waterville, Ohio.

The family would like to thank the Hospice of NW Ohio for their loving care of our Mom at the end of her life.

Those who wish to express their sympathy are asked to consider St. Jude Children's Hospital or the Ovarian Cancer Society.
