May Aossey

May G. (Richardson) Aossey passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones on May 3, 2025. Born on October 10, 1945 in Toledo, OH to Norman Sr, and May (Geiger) Richardson. May was a graduate of Maumee High and spent her years after as an executive secretary.

May married the love of her life, Edward “Bud” Aossey in 1963 and together they raised 4 children and lived in multiple states while Bud served in the US Navy.

May was preceded in death by her parents, her twin sister, Kay, and her brother Norman (Butch). She is survived by her beloved husband Edward, her children Jennifer (Sean) Wyszumiala, Richard (Chery) Aossey, Michelle Price, and Suzanne (Clint) Burnett, 2 sisters and 1 brother, as well as 11 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.

May found joy in time spent with family, traveling between her homes in Alabama and Toledo, hosting holiday gatherings, and finding a good garage sale with her sister-in-law. She also attended church every week and she was a true reflection of God’s grace she was no doubt lovingly welcomed into His embrace, as she so warmly welcomed others into her life. In a loud family, she always made sure even the quietest members felt heard.

Her hugs brought comfort and her words were filled with love and encouragement. She accepted people as they were with an open heart and door. We were truly blessed to be loved by her and even though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in the legacy of love she leaves behind.

Family and friends will be received at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 5153 Summit St., Toledo on Friday, May 9, 2025 from 10:00-11:00 AM. The Funeral Mass will begin immediately after visitation at 11:00 AM. The family invites everyone after the Funeral Mass to continue celebrating May's life at The Elks. In lieu of flowers, the family asks all to consider a donation to Shriners Children’s Hospitals.
