Lillian "Sue" Mesker, 75, of Graytown, OH, passed away Thursday, April 30, 2020 at ProMedica Bay Park Hospital, Oregon, OH. She was born on March 24, 1945, a daughter of the late Chester & Virgie (Carroll) Sparks. She worked many years for Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools in the cafeteria of Rocky Ridge Elementary School. Strong in her faith, Sue was a member of St. John Lutheran Church, Rocky Ridge, and loved listening to The Gaithers. She enjoyed her friends in Red Hats and card club, her casino days, traveling to Amish country, and spending time with "the girls" (aka her loafing buddies). Her greatest love was her family and she especially enjoyed family get togethers. She cherished her daughter Patty's help around the house, weekly chats with her son Scott and her weekend stays at daughter Bobbi's house. On September 3, 1954, she married Herbert L. Mesker, and he preceded her in death on August 18, 2003, after nearly 38 years of marriage. Sue is survived by her children, Patty Shank, Graytown, Scott Mesker, Denver, CO, and Bobbi McConocha, Rossford, OH; brother, Lester Sparks; grandchildren, Tyler, Jenna, Adam, and Emily; and great-grandchildren, Grayson and Stella.
