Lola Margaret Abbey, 87, of Walbridge, Ohio passed away peacefully on November 19, 2016, with her family by her side.
Lola was born on May 5, 1929, to Paul and Elizabeth (Vemaen) Bauer in Toledo, Ohio. She graduated from St. Stephen Catholic Grade School in 1943 and Waite High School in 1947; remaining an active alumni through "St. Stephen Grade School Lunch Bunch" and various Waite Alumni Activities. Lola worked at Tiedtke's and Krotzer's Steak House.
She was united in holy matrimony on October 21, 1948, to Kenneth Abbey. Together they raised 7 children and were proud grandparents of 12 and great-grandparents of 12. Her oldest grandson bestowed the name Grandma Goose Goose which was shortened to Goosie. Goosie loved everything Hungarian. Her creative talents were unmistakable in her Hungarian embroidery, Hungarian cooking and painting. Lola was an amazing cook who enjoyed sharing her treasured recipes with friends and family. She also took pleasure in feeding and sheltering the many birds that flocked to their yard. She was a diehard Cleveland Indians and Notre Dame fan. Ken and Lola liked to travel to Florida, Las Vegas and Lake Havasu Springs, Arizona. Lola placed a high priority on family. She was involved and very supportive of all of her children and grandchildren's sports and extracurricular activities. An active backer of Lake High School, she helped organize numerous sport banquets. Lola was a devoted volunteer at St. Charles Hospital for 37 years and an active member of St. Stephen Catholic Church.
She was preceded in death by her parents; son, Nicholas; sisters, Margaret Feher and Helen Smith; brother, Louis Bauer; and great-grandson, Garrett Arvan.
Lola is survived by her husband, a brother, 7 children, 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren who will greatly miss their Goosie.
A mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Tuesday, November 29, 2016, 11 a.m. in Epiphany of the Lord Catholic Parish, St. Stephen Church, 1880 Genesee St., Toledo, Ohio.
The family will receive friends beginning at 10:00 a.m. Private interment will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Epiphany of the Lord Catholic Parish-St. Stephen Church; Hospice of Northwest Ohio, 30000 E. River Rd., Perrysburg, OH 43551 or charity of choice. Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
