Barbara Ann Lashaway, 87, of Perrysburg, passed away on October 23, 2024, at St. Clare Commons in Perrysburg, with her family at her side. She was born on November 29, 1936, to Elmer and Dorothy (Reitzel) Morlock. She married Leroy J. Lashaway on February 15, 1958, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Stony Ridge. Barbara and Leroy raised 3 sons, and have celebrated over 66 years of marriage together.

Following graduation from high school, Barbara graduated from the Mercy School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse. She went on to work at Mercy Hospital, and later for a local doctor's office, before she became a full-time homemaker, taking care of a husband and 3 sons.

In addition, she was one of the founding members of the Perrysburg Township EMS Volunteers, and was a volunteer for numerous other associations. One of Barbara's favorite jobs was working as the school nurse at Penta. However, her greatest love was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
