Obituary:
Mary Lou Wortman, 86, went to be with the Lord on August 28, 2013 surrounded by family and nursing staff at Birchaven. Mary Lou "Daisy" Day was born July 12, 1927 in Toledo, Ohio to Paul and Mary Jane (Paden) Day. She grew up in a household of brothers, Larry (Darlene) of GA, Michael (Janell) of CA, Patrick (Ping) of SC and two brothers who are deceased William and Tom. She always said she was teased by them but loved them dearly. She also enjoyed their family reunions, especially the last few that were in CA, WI and Findlay. Her sister in law, Liz Day, is still living in FL and her sister-in-law Barb Adams resides in Findlay. Mary Lou graduated from Findlay High school in 1945 and never missed a high school reunion until her illness. She spent many years volunteering on the reunion planning committee. After high school, she worked at Marathon Oil company before marrying Robert "Bob" Vincent Wortman on a warm summer morning on June 26, 1948 at St Michaels Catholic church. They raised 7 children William (Karen), Robert David (Deb) of Piqua, OH, Amy (Glen) Opp of Arvada CO, John (Brenda) of Lima, OH, Jim (Cathy) of Forest, OH, Sarah (Bryan) House of Olney, IL and Paul (Maureen) of Findlay. She got to share in the life of her 13 grandchildren and witnessed the lives of 10 great grandchildren. Mary Lou enjoyed over 35 years in her home with Bob on Brookside Dr and then moved to Palm Desert CA for their retirement. Mary Lou spent time going to daily mass and volunteering at her church, Sacred Heart, and participating in Al-Anon meetings. She also liked entertaining her family when they visited southern CA and showing them the sights. She met new friends she called "the lunch bunch." After returning to Ohio for a few years, Mary Lou moved to CO to live with her dutiful and loving daughter, Amy, who cared for her until her last move back to Ohio in 2010. In CO she enjoyed the mountain views, attending church at St Joan of Arc, and shopping. Before her illness, Mary Lou loved reading, going to the movies, playing tennis, riding her bike, watching the Atlanta Braves, playing bridge, collecting bears, knitting afghans, and praying her rosary. She always said she was fortunate to have traveled such fabulous places, like London, England, with her husband during his NFL career. Mary Lou is survived by her husband, Robert of Findlay and their 6 children. Preceding her in death are her parents, 2 brothers, son William, and 2 grandchildren Scott and Miles Wortman. The family would like to thank the staff at Grand Court for their compassionate care they gave Mary Lou during her 2 years at the facility and also the Birchaven nurses and aids as well as the Bridge Hospice staff. A special thank you to her dear friend, Peg Haas, who continued to visit during her difficult decline. The family request donations and memorials to the Alzheimer's Association of Northwest Ohio, St Michaels School Fund or the Blanchard Valley Hospital Auxiliary. A memorial mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, August 31, 2013 at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, 617 West Main Cross Street, Findlay, Ohio with Msgr. Michael Hohenbrink, celebrant. All family and friends are invited to a gathering at the Knights of Columbus Hall immediately following the memorial mass.
