Childers, Lima; a former daughter-in-law, Denise Driehaus; and four grandchildren. Deceased are a daughter, Mary Frances Childers; a sister, Margaret M. (John A.) Robenalt; and a brother-in-law, Ed Wolfer. A graduate of St Rose High School and Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing, Cincinnati, she worked at various doctor's offices and St. Rita's, and retired from Lima Memorial Hospital. She was a founding member of St. Charles Borromeo Parish, Parish council member, a lay Eucharistic Minister, member of the church Choir, the Knights of Columbus and the Elks. She helped to create the St. Charles Funeral Choir and the Parish Nurse Program. She was always a champion of connecting with people. Where she saw a need, she took action. She was an avid reader, loved to play bridge, was a proud Cincinnati Reds Fan, attending 15 consecutive Opening Days and as the granddaughter of WW Durbin who served in FDR's administration, an unabashed New Deal Democrat. She lived by three tenants: Faith, Family and Friends. She was a devoted Catholic, loved being surrounded by her family and extended family, and had incredible relationships with countless friends. The local restaurant economy lost a faithful breakfast, lunch and dinner patron. She was proud to be from Lima and to have worked in the health care field as an RN in various capacities, following the Durbin family motto of 'others'. In 1975, she and Jerry bought the Dairy Queen in Wapakoneta. She then managed the daily operations for six seasons, earning the Silver Cone Award as the cleanest DQ in the district. A Mass of Christian Burial will be at St. Charles Catholic Church, Lima, with Revs. Stephen Blum and David M. Ross officiating.
