She is survived by her children, Jodi (Dave Miller) Diller of Bluffton, Jenny (Jeff) Fish of Findlay, Jeff (Chrissy) Lugibihl of Pandora, and Jay Lugibihl of Charlotte, North Carolina; grandchildren, Erin (Ryan) Suderman, Sarah (Uko) Etim, Elizabeth (Jesse) Suter, Katie (Brian) Smith, Anne (Blaine) Wells, Laura (Robbie) Rucki, Jana (Jim Eckel) Fish, Owen (Kendra) Lugibihl, Grant (Hannah) Lugibihl, and Lydia (Link Hergenrather) Lugibihl; eight great-grandchildren and more on the way; four sisters, Janice (Clay) Stallworth, Virginia (Friedrich) Saam, Agnes (Andre) DaCosta and Julia (Vidal) Jimenez; and many nieces and nephews and other extended family.
