Mary Jo Ketter

Mary Jo Ketter, 76, of Safety Harbor, Florida, passed away peacefully on March 23, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on May 5, 1949, in Campbellsport, Wisconsin, Mary Jo was the beloved daughter of the late Marjorie and James Ketter. In 1981, she and her family made the move to Florida, drawn by the promise of sunshine and new beginnings, a place she would proudly call home for the rest of her life.

Mary Jo dedicated 38 years of her life to caring for others as a nurse at Comprehensive Health Care in Clearwater, where she served in the skilled nursing unit. Nursing was more than a profession to her; it was a calling. She gave her patients not only skilled, attentive care, but also compassion, dignity, and kindness. Her gentle spirit and unwavering dedication touched countless lives, and she will be remembered as a nurse who truly embodied love and care in every sense.

Outside of her work, Mary Jo found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved relaxing with her favorite shows on the Hallmark Channel, watching Matlock, and, most of all, spending cherished time with her family. Her warmth, quiet strength, and loving presence were the heart of every gathering.

In addition to her parents, Mary Jo was preceded in death by her husband, James S. Stoffel; her beloved son, James F. “Jimmer” Stoffel; and her brother, Rick Ketter.

She leaves behind a loving family who will carry her memory forward: her children, Tiffany (Jon Mott) Stoffel and Sean (Stephanie) Stoffel; her brother, Ken (Margie) Ketter; her cherished grandchildren, Andrew “Drew” Avery, Kimberly Brown, Max Stoffel, Kassidy Stoffel, Zachary Stoffel, Lex Stoffel, and Luke Mott; four great-grandchildren, Kinley, Dakota, Harry, Gray; her sister-in-law, Julie Ketter; daughter-in-law Tina Stoffel; along with many extended family members and dear friends.

Mary Jo’s life was a testament to compassion, devotion, and quiet grace. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Suncoast Hospice Foundation, 2675 Tampa Road, Palm Harbor, Florida 34684, in honor of the care and comfort they provide to others in need.

Merrie Carol Twohig

Merrie Carol (Hau) Twohig, born on Christmas Day in 1943, entered eternal life surrounded by the love of her family on February 11th, 2026. The cherished only child of Clarence and Millie (Brandt) Hau, Merrie brought light, warmth, and joy to all who knew her.

A bright, beautiful student, Merrie attended St. Mary’s Elementary School then proceeded to St. Mary’s Springs Academy where she was crowned homecoming queen and graduated as valedictorian of the class of 1962. She went on to earn her degree in Elementary Education from Mount Mary College in 1966. On August 5, 1967, she married the love of her life, Timothy G. Twohig, establishing an adoring, joyous, dynamic marriage that became the steady foundation of their large and loving family. Merrie taught in the Milwaukee Public School System while Tim finished dental school. After his graduation, they moved to Louisiana where Tim completed his service in the US Air Force and later planted their roots back home in Fond du Lac.

Merrie’s life was centered on her family above all else. She was the devoted mother of six children: Mark (Faye) Twohig, Anne (Greg) Brunette, Catherine (Chris) McGalloway, Tim (Kelly) Twohig, Sean (Keri) Twohig, and Christopher (Samantha) Twohig. Her legacy continues in her sixteen grandchildren: Elizabeth (Shep) Griswold, Joseph Brunette, Joshua Brunette, Teresa Brunette, Lauren (Chris) Chambers, Christian (fiancé Talya Loken) McGalloway, Megan (Adam) Hopper, Donovan McGalloway, Quentin (Brianna) Twohig-Williston, Millie Twohig, Colin Twohig, Gavin Twohig, Declan Twohig, Cleary Twohig, George Twohig, and Layne Twohig. The next generation has begun - with two great-grandchildren, Beatrice Chambers and Dean Williston, plus two more expected in the coming weeks.

Deeply committed to her faith, friends, and community, Merrie was actively involved in the St. Joseph, St. Mary, and St. Mary’s Springs school communities, Holy Family Catholic Church as well as Sigma and the dental auxiliary. She regularly made herself available to anybody who needed a ride, a hand, a few bucks, someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on. Yet her most enduring work happened at home. Merrie was a constant teacher of grammar and academics, but more deeply of Catholic values, right and wrong, and personal responsibility. She corrected mistakes with firmness and clarity, always guiding her children and grandchildren toward lives rooted in faith, integrity, and love. She approached daily meals, family gatherings and vacations with careful attention to detail so the important things - togetherness, prayer, and so much laughter - could take center stage.

She is survived by her beloved husband Dr. Tim Twohig, her children and their spouses, her cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as many dear cousins, in-laws, nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends

Merrie lived a life of steadfast faith, purposeful guidance, and profound dedication to those she loved. Her Christmas birth was a gift, and her years of teaching and nurturing remain a lasting blessing to her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her. May she rest in the eternal peace she so faithfully pointed others toward, forever held in the arms of God, whom she served so well.

Visitation for Merrie will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 19th at Holy Family Catholic Church, 271 4th Street Way, Fond du Lac, WI. Visitation will continue at Holy Family on Friday, February 20th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Her Funeral Mass will follow at 11:00 a.m.

In lieu of flowers - contributions honoring her faith and legacy may be made to Holy Family Catholic Community or St. Mary’s Springs Academy.
