Doris Cramer Obituary

Doris Maxine Cramer

Doris Maxine Cramer, 89, of Findlay, died at 11:30 p.m. Friday, February 28, 2025, at Blanchard Valley Hospital. She was born October 16, 1935, at home in Cass Township, Hancock County, to the late Lester L. and Esta L. (King) Humm. She married Clyde Cramer on April 20, 1963, and he preceded her in death April 24, 1994.

Maxine is survived by her brother, John Humm of Florida; and her beloved 19 nieces and nephews.

She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Leland, Marion, and Russell Humm; sisters, Evelyn Humm, Mildred Snyder, Zo Ellen Schindler, Ina Mae Steiner, and Sara Oswald.

Prior to marriage, Maxine worked as a waitress at the soda counter at Gallagher's Drug Store adjacent to the Hancock County Courthouse. The acquaintance with a frequent customer who was a Findlay Police Detective led to their marriage. Thereafter, her primary role was that of a loving companion and homemaker.

Though Maxine did not have children of her own, she did not lack the love of family. She took an interest in each niece and nephew who availed themselves. The events of their lives, and later the events of their children's lives are chronicled in the pictures she received and the record of significant dates she kept.

Her funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. Friday, March 7, 2025, at COLDREN-CRATES FUNERAL HOME, Findlay, with Chaplain Linda Davison officiating. Burial will be at Maple Grove Cemetery, Findlay.
