ESTHER LEAH MAUER

June 7, 1927-August 29, 2018

After suffering a major stroke, Esther (Metzger) Mauer, faithful servant of God, passed peacefully at Hospice of NW Ohio and went to her eternal home. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother in addition to working in the health care field for many years.  Esther was a lifelong Lutheran and church was an important part of her life.  After living most of her adult life in west Toledo, for the past 7 years she had resided at the Genacross  Lutheran Services Wolf Creek Assisted Living facility in Holland, OH.  Esther enjoyed her family, reading, gardening, and nature, especially vacationing in northern Michigan and watching birds.  Even in the assisted living facility, she had bird feeders outside her window which gave her many hours of enjoyment.  She was the daughter of the late Arthur and Helen Metzger and grew up in the Shoreland area.  She was preceded in death by siblings Marion, Lawrence and Ethelyn.  Her husband of nearly 70 years, Dwight Mauer passed away in 2016.  She is survived by sons Ken (Pat) and Keith (Peggy), granddaughters Juli (Brett), Mindy and Katherine (Patrick) and great-grandchildren Lauren, Josh, Elana and Jordan. A memorial service will be held at a date to be determined.  It is suggested that any memorial gifts be made to Genacross  Lutheran Services Wolf Creek Assisted Living.
