Our cherished Sue was called home suddenly on March 20, 2008 after a brief illness. She was born September 16, 1930 to John and Lulu Hollabaugh and attended Woodward High School in Toledo. She married her beloved husband Howard C. Graalman on March 3, 1951. A devoted wife and mother, her primary role was always taking care of her six children and home, all with immense pride. She also found time to work for Bell Telephone Company, Topps Department Store, and Budget-Tel Motel in Toledo. She loved to travel with her husband across the U.S. and Canada, especially enjoying Hawaii. She had a fondness for bowling, bingo, and bunco and will forever be the Skip-Bo champion. She enjoyed attending Good Shepard of the Deaf Lutheran Church and "gadding" with her family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband Howard; son Mark Graalman Sr; special nephew David Somers, and her parents and siblings.
She leaves to carry on her memory; her children, Linda Brightman, Michael (Victoria) Graalman, Kevin (Peggy) Graalman, Lori (Roger) Schultze, Eric (Amy) Graalman, daughter-in-law Donna Graalman, and brother Clifford Hollabaugh. She also leaves 19 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, and special niece Karen Sue. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and good neighbors.
Friends will be received at Coyle Funeral Home 1770 S. Reynolds Rd. on Monday from 5-8pm and Tuesday from 2-8pm. Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday beginning at 11am in the mortuary officiated by Pastor Shirrel Petzoldt of Good Shepherd. Interment Toledo Memorial Park.
Now how did she die? But how did she live. Not what did she gain? But what did she give. There are the merits to measure the worth of a woman as a woman regardless of birth. Not what was her station but had she a heart, and how did she play her God-given part. Was she ever ready with a word of good cheer? To bring a smile, to banish a tear? Not what was her church? Not what was her creed? But has she befriended those really in need? Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say, but how many were sorry when she passed away.
