Eileen Middleton Obituary

Eileen O. Middleton

Eileen O. Middleton, 89, of Carey, passed away Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at Bridge Hospice Care Center, Findlay.

Eileen was born April 18, 1936, in Carey, to the late Cleatus and Edith (Esterly) Wisner. Eileen is survived by her three daughters, Vivian (Roger Staib) Sheffel, Valerie (Kenny) Long and Veronica (Terry) Norville; five grandchildren, Cassandra (Arthur) Diaz, Natasha Middleton, Amanda Sheffel, Devin (Mariemma) Zimmerman and Brandon Zimmerman; and five great-grandchildren, Brylon Middleton, Ariana Heller, Aubrie Diaz, Cherish Middleton and Josiah Smith.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Vickie Middleton; two great-grandsons, Arthur Jr. and Xaiver Diaz; and two brothers, Ralph Wisner and Dale Wisner.

Eileen was a 1954 graduate of Vanlue High School and later worked for TMD Auditor, retiring after 28 years of service. Eileen found great joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved sitting on her back porch watching the deer and enjoyed the sight of hummingbirds visiting outside her kitchen window. A proud farmer's daughter, Eileen held fond memories of growing up and working on her family's farm. She had a quick wit and a wonderful sense of humor that brought laughter to those around her. Above all, she cherished the time spent with her family and was deeply proud to be both a devoted mother and loving gram. Eileen also enjoyed traveling, especially her trips to Amish Country, where she found peace and happiness in its quiet beauty.

Visitation for Eileen will begin at 10 a.m. until time of her Celebration of Life service at noon Monday, November 17, 2025, at Stombaugh-Batton & Snyder Funeral Home, Carey, with Pastor Cynthia Morrison officiating. Interment will follow at Zion Bloom Cemetery.
