Delores "Ann" Strawser

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ray Eugene Strawser, her beloved daughter, Julie Beth Strawser; her beloved son, Bradley Ray Strawser; her granddaughter, Amanda Renee Killilea; and her brother, Donald William Jones.

She is survived by her daughters Marcia (George) Wolfe, Tracy (Scott) Middleton, and Lee Ann (Tennis) Ooten; her grandchildren Scott Nolze, Heather Wolfe, Jason Booth, Susan (Darnell) Sperry, Steven Booth, Megan (Will) Satterfield; her sister Jeannie Lockwood; and her brother John (Kim) Jones and many great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

Ann found joy in the simple and meaningful things in life. She loved cooking, cake decorating, gardening, playing Maj Jong with friends and loved entertaining in her home. She taught the youth group choir at the United Methodist Church in Grove City, Ohio when her children were young. She gave generously of her time, volunteering in various positions at the Grove City Thrift Shop in the 70’s benefiting the American Cancer Society, and participating in Newcomers organizations in Troy, Michigan, and Arlington, Texas—places she and her husband also called home. She was also very active in her Sunday School class in Arlington and authored and edited several cookbooks for various fundraising organizations.

The family will hold a private graveside memorial and inurnment at a later date, which will include the urn of her son, Brad, who recently passed.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made online in memory of Delores Ann Strawser to OhioHealth Kobacker House at Foundation.OhioHealth.com/Hospice, whose staff provided Ann with outstanding, compassionate hospice care.
