Judy D. Disher

June 5, 1949 — April 7, 2024

Judith D. Disher (Bauer), age 74, passed away on April 7, 2024 at Otterbein of Monclova.  She was born on June 5, 1949 in Shelbyville, TN to Herbert and Mary King.  When Mary remarried, Judy was adopted by Theodore Bauer.  She grew up in Toledo, OH and graduated from DeVilbiss High School.  

Judy loved camping, fishing, painting, as well as arts and crafts.  She was an accomplished seamstress and worked at Custom Corner Upholstery reupholstering furniture and later at Toledo Auto Trim, reupholstering cars. Judy also ran a day care from her home for 10 years, creating a bond with many of the children who often referred to her as "Momma Judy". She ended her career as an Administrative Assistant at The Autism Model School.

Judy married the love of her life, Joseph Disher on May 4, 1968. The two were each other's lifelong companions and friends. They made their home in Sylvania, Ohio and were blessed with two children, Jodie and Joseph.  When Judy's medical needs surpassed what could be managed at home, she moved to Otterbein of Monclova where her husband Joe was by her side every day for the past two years, often found sitting beside her holding her hand.

Judy is survived by her husband Joe; her children, Jodie (Greg) Smith, Joseph (Sally) Disher; grandchildren, Breanne Couch, Cody Smith, Benjamin Smith, Blake Disher and Ryan Disher; and sister, Jane Laponis, as well as many friends and family.  She was preceded in death by her brother, Terry; mother, Mary; and father, Ted.  The family would like to recognize the kindness and care received by the nurses, aides and staff at Otterbein of Monclova as well as Ashanti Hospice during her final days.  

The family will receive guests on Friday, April 12, 2024 from 2:00 - 7:00 pm at Newcomer Funeral Home - Northwest Chapel, 4150 West Laskey Road, Toledo, OH, where a Memorial Service will begin at 7:00 pm.
