Judith A. Detzel

Judith Ann Detzel, 80, of Graytown, Ohio, died peacefully Monday, January 17, 2022, with her loving family close by. She was born and raised in Fremont, Ohio, on May 1, 1941, to Peg (Marian) and Cyril Meyer. Judy graduated from Fremont St. Joseph High School in 1959. That same year, Judy married the love of her life, Bill Detzel. Through their 62 years of marriage, they raised five children who blessed them with eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Judy worked in the deli/bakery at various grocery stores, including Latham’s, Bassett’s, and Community Market. She loved spending time with her family, especially when the entire family gathered for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Judy's smile, spirit and generous caring nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her. She will be best remembered as a loving and selfless wife, mother, grandma and great-grandma who loved her family with her whole heart. Even at the end, she wanted to make sure we would all take care of each other. Our world will be a bit dimmer without her. We were all lucky to have her in our lives. Judy’s memory will be cherished by her husband, Bill Detzel; children, Larry (Pat) Detzel, Cindy (Harry) Teeple, Debbie (Tim) Piercefield, Bill (Jolene) Detzel; grandchildren, Jackie (Keith) Stephens, Tiffany (Josh Shelenberger) Detzel, Julie Piercefield, Kelly Detzel, Stephen (Ashley) Detzel, Emily Detzel, Max (Emily) Detzel, and Mike Detzel; great grandchildren, Sydney Stephens and Mason Stephens; siblings, Larry (Janet) Meyer, Margaret (Jim) Woodruff, Ken (Jeanne) Meyer, Connie (Tim) Pegg.
