Nancy THIEL Obituary

THIEL Nancy R. Nancy R. Thiel, age 76, of Toledo, passed away suddenly March 9th, 2011, along with her loving husband, Norb. She was born July 17, 1934, to Cornelius and Ima (Meyers) Freeman, who preceded her in death. Nancy attended Walbridge Elementary and graduated from Libbey High School. Nancy married the love of her life and soul mate Norbert Thiel in August 1953. Mom worked for the City of Toledo first as a receptionist at the Toledo Zoo then as a clerk in the Treasurer's office, retiring in 1995. Mom was an active member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. Mom loved boating and fishing and spending this time with Dad and friends. Her most cherished moments were spent with family. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mom often took special time off from work to take her grand children on picnics always ending with a trip to Darryl's Ice Cream Parlor. Mom was a true champion and our hero. She lived with ALS for the last 18 years of her life never complaining and never letting it define her. She lived her life by the motto "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much" and was an inspiration to ALL of us. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Michael J. (Karen Ann) Thiel, Karen Thiel, Terry L. (Becky) Thiel and Cindy (Tim) McGee; grandchildren, Denise (fiancée, Chris Beale) Pulfer, Amanda Thiel (Michelle Moore), Gabe (Jessica) Thiel, Jenni (Dan) Losek, Matt Thiel, Carianne (Scott) Hansen, Josh Thiel, Tim McGee, Jessi Thiel, Courtenay Thiel, Shane McGee and Christopher Thiel; great grandchildren, Tyler, Tayler, Tessa, Cheyanne, Daniel, Trace, Clementine and Jayden; sisters, Bonnie Sargent and Alice Adams; brothers and sisters-in- law, Rose Marie and Paul Zbierajewski and Tom and Gert Thiel; faithful companion, Lucy and many dear nieces, nephews and friends. Family and friends may visit on Sunday from 5-8pm and Monday from 2-8pm at the W.K. Sujkowski & Son Funeral Home, 3838 Airport Hwy., where Scripture services will be held Monday evening at 7:00pm. Funeral Services will begin with prayers at the mortuary Tuesday at 9:15am followed by the Mass of Christian Burial at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church at 10:00am. Interment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery. Memorial tributes may be directed to the ALS Association.
