Betty Lagger

Betty Lagger, our feisty, fun and beautiful mom passed away August 13, 2025, in Ebeid Hospice of Northwest Ohio. She was born in Toledo to Carl and Marie Bishop on January 21, 1926. Married to her WWII pen pal Eddie Lagger, for 54 years, they raised 5 children: Larry (Kathy); LouAnn Buck (Tom); Mary Steitz (Bill); Jim (Theresa) and Jan Lehman (Jay). Family get-togethers delighted her, especially when any of her 82 descendants were present!

Betty brightened the lives of others wherever she went; Good Shepard parish in the 20s & 30s; Central Catholic High School class of 1943; the Toledo Blade in the 1940s; St. Agnes Church Rosary Altar Society in the 1950s and 60s; the Lucas County Board of Elections in the 70s and 80s; the Gulf Stream Motor Home Club and Recreation Plantation in the 90s and 2000s; Christ the King Church funeral committee in the 2010s ("please sing loudly!") and the Sylvania Senior Center follies.

At almost 100 years old Betty beat the odds as she often told us that as a child, she was hit by a car 3 different times!
