Judith Susan Flowers

Judith “Judy” Flowers, 82, of Maumee, Ohio passed away peacefully on September 22, 2023. She was born on September 24, 1940, to her late parents Blake A. and Dorothy V. (Hasty) Tussing and grew up in Rossford, Ohio. After graduating from Rossford HS, class of ‘58, she began her very long and varied career. In the early years, she worked in both radio and television as well as modeling for advertisements. She catered for a family business, and even sold Avon. Later, most of her employment was at a payroll company and then she finished her career working for a medical insurance company.

Judy found joy in good music and loved to dance, first as a Majorette in high school and then with Lawerence Welk and her grandkids as a grandmother. She frequently volunteered at her church and at the Manor House in Wildwood Metropark during Christmas time. She even once had her Christmas tree accepted and displayed for a season. She was also involved with the tea parties that were held at the Manor House and especially enjoyed dressing up to match the themes of the teas, such as Halloween, Patriotic, Famous Women, etc….

Above all things, she had a great love for her family, especially her grandchildren. She cared for them deeply and was truly interested in their lives. She was admirably patriotic and absolutely loved both her country and Red Bird peppermints!

She will always be remembered for her kind, hospitable demeanor as well as her great sense of fashion and style. She wouldn’t hesitate to be there for a friend who needed her and always exhibited great generosity and strength. She was funny, and somewhat directionally challenged, but above all she will always be dearly loved and fondly remembered by her family and friends.

She was always there to help in anyway she could—her presence will be deeply missed.

Judy is survived by her daughter, Julie M. (Bradley Reynolds) Flowers-Reynolds; grandchildren, Blake A. Reynolds, Seth A. Reynolds, and Maegan E. Reynolds; brother, Ronald B. (Kathy J.) Tussing of Silver Spring, MD; nephew, Brian L. (Jomar) Tussing; great niece and nephew, Hannah Tussing and Zachary Tussing of Hagerstown, MD. She was preceded in death by her parents, Blake A. Tussing and Dorothy V. Tussing.
