Nancy A Miller

Nancy Ann (Fabier) Miller, 94, of Toledo, Ohio, left this world peacefully and unexpectedly on June 1, 2025, at The University of Toledo Medical College. She filled her 94 years with love and laughter, sharing a wonderful life with her cherished husband, Charles (Bud) Miller, for over 50 beautiful years. Born in Toledo on July 22, 1930, Nancy was the beloved only child of Walter and Helen Eleanor Fabier. She graduated from Central Catholic High School and Mary Manse College, where she excelled in basketball and the drama program, showcasing her competitive spirit and natural talent. Nancy later earned a Master’s degree in Reading from the University of Toledo, inspiring generations of students during her 35 years of dedicated teaching at St. Patrick of Heatherdowns. She loved reconnecting with former teachers and students upon her retirement, always ready to celebrate her former students’ ongoing successes.

Travel was a great joy for Nancy and Bud; they created memories on weekend trips through the Midwest and Northeast, visiting warm-weather friends in Florida, and savoring family vacations at cozy cabins filled with laughter and card games. Even into her 80s, Nancy’s adventurous spirit thrived as she embarked on a bus tour to the iconic cities of New York and New Orleans. An avid golfer, Nancy was a proud member of Tanglewood and Valleywood golf courses, where her competitive spirit shone brightly. She delighted in winning numerous tournaments. Her strategic mind also made her a force at the Maumee Senior Center, where she enjoyed playing bridge twice a week, eagerly anticipating the thrill of the game and enjoying the company of her many friends and competitors. In her final year, Nancy found a new home at Elizabeth Scott Community, forging new friendships and embracing a variety of activities, all while enjoying delicious meals.

Family was everything to Nancy, and she took immense pride in her 4 children, 14 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren. You could often find her and Bud cheering at their grandchildren’s soccer games, basketball games, wrestling meets, and dance recitals, driving around the Toledo area to support their endeavors with love and enthusiasm.

Nancy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bud. She is survived by her children, Gail Christie, Mark Miller (Cheri), Daniel Miller (Jill), and Brian Miller (Karen).

She will always be remembered for her kindness, deep love for her family, and sharp competitive spirit that inspired those around her.

In honor of Nancy’s enduring commitment to education, memorial contributions can be made to St. Patrick of Heatherdowns School (4201 Heatherdowns Blvd, Toledo, OH 43614).

Elizabeth "Betsy" Ford

Elizabeth Sargent Ford (Betsy) died May 24, 2025 at the age of 101. She was born March 20, 1924, the daughter of Margaret Alling Sargent and Dwight Swett Sargent. Betsy grew up in Hastings-On-Hudson, New York. She graduated from Hastings-on-Hudson High School in 1942. She graduated from Smith College class of 1946 and went on to earn her degree in Occupational therapy from Columbia University in 1948.

Betsy served as an Occupational therapist in the Women's Medical Specialists Corp of the U.S. Army from 1948 to 1951 with the rank of second Lieutenant. She met and married Dr. Charles Douglass Ford in 1950, while both were serving in the army. They raised six children, during which time, Betsy was active in volunteer work for various organizations, which meant a lot to her. She was generous with her time and strove to make a positive impact on her community. She served in many capacities,s including leadership roles.

Betsy served as the President of the Auxiliary to the Academy of Medicine, Secretary on the board of Planned Parenthood, President of Mobile Meals of Toledo (she also delivered meals for 41 years).

She was a member of The Athena Art Society, as well as The Toledo Artists Club and The Toledo Women’s Art League, serving as President of both organizations. Betsy enjoyed playing tennis and was a lifelong bridge player. She was a firm believer that the more things you knew how to do, the more fun life could be. She enjoyed people, bringing people together, and helping others. She espoused the following life lessons:

 Do your best and don't worry about the times you fell short.

 To feel good about yourself, do something for someone else

 Try not to repeat your mistakes

 Exercise at something you enjoy, and you'll live longer (if your genes cooperate!)

 To smile and laugh often as you can

 A glass of red wine, I also recommend for a long life.

Betsy is survived by her son Peter Ford and wife Roberta; daughters Margaret Ford, Sue Berger, Marion Jaeck and husband Mike, Patti Jimison and husband Todd; nine grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children. to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because I have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
