Laverne OKOS Obituary

OKOS Laverne C. Laverne C. Okos, 93, of Toledo, OH, passed away Thursday, February 23, 2012. Laverne was born November 16, 1918, in Berkey, OH to parents, Fred and Eleanor (Dreps) Ott. Her father started the John Deere Dealership in Berkey, OH. She married Raymond Okos, and together they enjoyed a lifetime of family, friends, and vacationing in Acapulco. She is survived by her son, Ronald (Robin) Okos; daughter, Sharon (William) Beutler; grandchildren, Suzy, Jamie, Shannon, Jeremy, Heather and Lisa; 7 great-grandchildren, and twins which are on the way! Laverne was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Raymond Okos; daughter, Donna Okos, and brothers, Fredrick, Merlin, Frank, Robert, Ott and sister Phyllis (Ott) Herr. Friends may call at the Reeb Funeral Home 5712 N. Main St. Sylvania, OH, Sunday, February 26th from 4 - 9 p.m., where the Rosary will be recited at 7:30 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be conducted at the Christ the King Catholic Church, Monday at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at St. Elizabeth Cemetery. Laverne loved sports, especially the New York Yankees. It only seems fitting that in lieu of flowers, memorial tributes be given to the Athletic Fund of the Christ the King Catholic Church. Laverne's family would like to thank the staff of Sunset Village for all their loving care and support given during Mom's stay. Family and friends wishing to view Laverne's tribute video or share a memory are encouraged to do so at: www.reebfuneralhome.com

Dear Ron, Sharon and family,
Am saddened & sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have many fond memories of your mother & father; visiting their cottage many years ago were some of my very happy childhood times. All the Ott & Okos barbeques, dinners & parties. Boy, did they know how to have fun! May God give you all you need to get through this difficult time. May God bless!

Dear Sharon, Ron & family, I am so sorry to miss seeing you all at your mom's funeral but I am in Florida at this time. Glad I got a chance to see her before I came down here. As you know our parents had such wonderful times together. I can see them around a heavenly card table, laughing and enjoying good food and memories !!! Blessings to you at this difficult time of grief...you should have no regrets, you were a caring, loving family to two wonderful parents. With love and sympathy, Sistie & Ron
