Night To Shine, Defiance Ohio

12/22/2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a great man.

Many of our NTS family may not recognize the name or face of Keith, but he put in a lot of time and physical work on the “tuxedo” side of our event. His amazing wife, Lori, manages our tuxedo rentals…and Keith was always the man behind the scenes at tuxedo drop off and pick up.

A quiet and respectful soul who was so grateful for his heart transplant. Even more grateful for his family.

Lori and family,
Our prayers are with you. May the promise of his eternal life with God bring you peace.

Love,
Your Defiance NTS Family

We will be open today for the dress boutique

BUT:

We need you to arrive to at 1pm or later
Our parking lot still needs plowed and sidewalks shoveled.

And our volunteers do not arrive to help with dresses until just before 1pm. We will not open doors before 1pm.

Kaitlyn’s Cottage parking lot is scheduled to get plowed shortly. The plowing company must clear the roads and parking lots at the hospital first for emergencies. We need your help to keep our parking lot cleared for the plows.

Thank you!
