We seem to all be suffering a common problem these days, WHERE DID OUR LIVES GO? Our brains seem to still be 18, but our bodies are talking a different language. Sarah Orne Jewett puts it much more eloquently than do I:

“Neither of my companions was troubled by her burden of years. I hoped in my heart that I might be like them as I lived on into age, and then smiled to think that I too was no longer very young. So we always keep the same hearts, though our outer framework fails and shows the touch of time.”

Carol Stalzer Koch, another classmate leaves us - a life well-lived

 Thank you to Sharon Merritt Wyman for letting me know that our classmate Carol Stalzer has passed away.  I was out of town so not able to post this before today, but I don't believe we have anyone living near where Carol did who could have attended her service.


.  She never attended a reunion that I can recall, but she was in touch with me in the past few years via email and Facebook.  I knew Carol at KHS, not well, but we had a class or two together.  It's easy to see from her obituary that she was a brainiac and I do remember her as a very smart classmate!  Here is her recent obituary:

Carol J. (Stalzer) Koch

March 4, 1947 ~ May 17, 2022 (age 75) 
 Carol J. Koch (Stalzer), age 75 of Woodville, (OHIO) passed away Tuesday, May 17, 2022, at her home. Carol was born March 4, 1947 in Buffalo, NY, the daughter of the late Ted and Geraldine (Crump) Stalzer.

Carol was a professor for many years at Bowling Green State University, where she taught a range of subjects from astronomy, mathematics, and English. She had a true passion for teaching, especially astronomy. Her love of anything astrological was also shown through her artistry, as she painted many pictures of stars and galaxies. Throughout Carol's life she also enjoyed traveling, reading, playing cards, doing her nails and puzzles.

Carol is survived by her husband, Ronald Koch, whom she married December 28, 1991 in St. Louis, MO; step daughter, Michelle Howey step-grandchildren: Lisa (Adam) Lowery, and Joshua (Mallory) Howey step great-grandchildren: Uriyah Lowery, Kingston Lowery, Dayne Howey, Brystol Howey, Coltyn Howey, and Brooklyn Howey; brother, Larry (Sandra) Stalzer; niece, Kate; and great-niece, Olivia.

In addition to her parents, Carol is preceded in death by her step-son, David Koch, and brother-in-law, Samuel Koch.

Friends will be received Wednesday, May 25, 2022 from 2-6pm with a funeral service beginning at 6:00pm at Foos Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 504 E. McPherson Hwy, Clyde, OH 43410.
