Margaret E. (Wisda) Keck

Margaret E. (Wisda) Keck, age 93, formerly of Sherwood, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at the Gardens of Paulding, surrounded by her family.   
  
She was born on February 14, 1931 in Delaware Township to the late Samuel E. and Amelia M. (Batt) Wisda. On November 4, 1964 she married Theodore W. Keck, who preceded her in death on March 7, 1997. 
  
Margaret was a faithful member of St. Isidore Marysdale Catholic Church and a member of the Altar Rosary Society. Aunt Marg was like a second mom or grandma to many.  She loved dogs and kids and babysat for many children over the years. She enjoyed playing cards and doing crossword puzzles. She had a sweet tooth and loved her candy. She always had a smile and was happy to have visitors. When leaving her house after a visit, she would always stand at the front door and wave as you drove away.
  
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Marie Mary Keck on May 20, 1965, and all of her 13 brothers and sisters, Albert (Inez) Wisda, Francis (Leona) Wisda, Marie (Daniel) Hostettler, Gertrude (George) Schindler, Sylvester (Patricia) Wisda, Samuel Wisda, Felix (Alice) Wisda, Richard (Imogene) Wisda, Virgil Wisda, Amelia Rose (Kenneth) Hardy, Anthony Wisda, Anna (William) Hicks, and Martin Wisda. 
  
Visitation will be held on Sunday, October 27, 2024 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Schaffer Funeral Home South, Lawson/Roessner Chapel (1753 S. Clinton Street) in Defiance, with a Rosary Service at 5:30 pm. A Mass of Christian burial will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, October 28th at St. Isidore Marysdale Catholic Church, with Fr. Melwin D'Souza officiating. Margaret will be laid to rest at Riverside Cemetery
