Douglas Holdridge, age 86, of Perrysburg, Ohio, passed away peacefully on November 18, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Born in Milan, Michigan, on September 24, 1939, he was the son of Albert and Ellen (Fairbanks) Holdridge.

A graduate of Sylvania Burnham High School's Class of 1957, he went on to serve his country in the United States Navy from 1957 to 1960. In 1959, he married the love of his life, Judy (Hershman), beginning a beautiful partnership that lasted 65 years. Together, they were always ready for an adventure. Members of the "50 States Club", they traveled to every state in the country and also explored several European destinations-collecting memories, stories, and friendships along the way.

He enjoyed being involved in his children's and grandchildren's lives, especially coaching his son's baseball and hockey teams. Family vacations were often taken with their camper and later, after his children were grown, on a motorcycle with his wife, a symbol of the adventurous spirit he carried throughout his life.
Doug's professional career began in data processing with the Chevrolet Transmission Plant, then Toledo Trust, where he advanced to an assistant vice president, (now KeyBank), and later Owens Corning, where he served as a Data Processing Manager. In midlife, he embraced a bold career change, becoming a custom home builder and founding Holdridge Homes. He excelled in the field, earning multiple Home Builders Association awards and serving as president of the HBA. He pioneered energy-efficient home design, receiving distinguished honors such as the National Energy Value Award and the Ohio Governor's Award for Excellence in Energy Efficiency. His work was frequently featured you in the local newspaper, and his homes were showcased in the annual Home Show.

After a short retirement, Doug continued to lend his talents to the community, working in maintenance at the 577 Foundation in Perrysburg and later serving as Facilities Director at Harbor Behavioral Health. Even after leaving formal work, he never truly retired-he was always ready with a tool, a plan, or a helping hand for family and friends.

He is survived by his devoted wife Judy; his three children: Lori Zielinski, Amy (Mike) Mollenkopf and Brian (Kim VanTuinen) Holdridge; seven grandchildren: Lauren (Kirby) Rawlins, Dean Mollenkopf, Joshua (Samantha) Zielinski, Kyle (Megan) Holdridge, Nora (Jake) Randolph, Grant (Nick) Pierce- Holdridge, Averie Holdridge; five great-grandchildren; his sister: Karen (Roger) Start; and many cherished nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Sharon Holdridge.

He will be remembered for his boundless curiosity, steady work ethic, generous heart, and the adventures-large and small-that he shared with those he loved. A Celebration of Life will be held on May 2, 2026, at Nederhouser Hall at Olander Park in Sylvania, Ohio.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to Ohioans Home Health & Hospice, 28276 Kensing Lane, Perrysburg, OH 43551.

Barbara Ann Murphy died unexpectedly on November 11, 2025, at University of Toledo Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio. at the age of 80.

She was born on September 8, 1945, in Mexico City, Mexico, where her parents, Richard and Alice Buckley, were stationed abroad during Richard's employment at Pan Am as a meteorologist. She is preceded in death by her parents, and her treasured younger brother, Robert Buckley.

Barbara met the father of her children, Paul Murphy, while attending Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. She always dreamed of finishing her undergraduate degree and attended classes at Miami University in that pursuit. She had several jobs over her working tenure but her fondest memories were from her job working at Didlake Inc., supporting adults with intellectual disabilities. That work led to providing devoted care to Bill Greaver, a friend, during his time of need. Together Barb and Paul had three children: Heather, Hope and Cindy. She was very proud of her daughters and grandchildren and valued her role of mother and grandmother above all other aspects of her life. She passed on her reverence for Mother Nature to her daughters as surely as she passed on her own DNA.

She is survived by her daughters: Heather Cleary of Bowling Green, Ohio; Hope McCaw of Woodbridge, Virginia; and Cindy Murphy Blomeley of Little Rock, Arkansas. She also leaves behind six grandchildren she loved beyond measure-Sarah, Skye, Alex, Terra, Sophie, and Benny. We are grateful that in her last moments she was with her son-in-law and dear friend, Maxwell Cleary.

Barbara lived a life rooted in care, creativity, and curiosity. She enjoyed gardening, art, reading, and the simple joy of tending to the living world around her. She appreciated her friendships and intellectual companionships through her book club. She cared for a menagerie of animals and an untold number of plants, loving them as precious gifts from God. She leaves behind four cherished cats: Claire, Red, Dude and Bebe.

She was a devout Presbyterian in faith, having served as a deacon at her former church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She was a long-time member of Clifton Presbyterian Church in Clifton, Virginia. She continued to attend virtually until she found a welcoming congregation at Ohio Living Swan Creek's chapel.

Her family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Ohio Living for giving their mother a contented-though tragically short-final chapter. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Ohio Living Swan Creek's Life Care Fund to support other residents with reassurance that they remain in their home. Barb's family invites people to write a special memory or observation about her and email csmurphyink@gmail.com.

There will be a memorial in Virginia, where she spent a majority of her life, at a later date.

Howard Leland Hudson, known affectionately to his family as “Bulgy,” passed away peacefully on Veterans Day, November 11, 2025, at Countryside Manor under the care of Hospice of Jackson, Michigan, at the age of 91.

Howard was born at home on October 11, 1934, to Ernest Jay and Myrtle Lillian (Tuckerman) Hudson in Lynden Township, Michigan. He grew up on a dairy farm as part of a large and close-knit family of ten children. He graduated from Brooklyn High School in 1952. After graduation, Howard proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps, embodying the strength and discipline that would define his life. He concluded his service to the Marine Corps with honor, leaving at the rank of Sergeant. Following his service, Howard attended Olivet College and Michigan State University, remaining a devoted Spartan fan throughout his life.

On September 13, 1958, Howard married Norma Jean (Kempf). Their marriage spanned nearly six decades until her passing on October 2, 2017. Together they raised one son, Mark Howard Hudson, who carries forward their strength, humor, and love of family.

He cherished every moment with them, taking great pride in watching them grow, cheering them on in their sports and activities, celebrating their accomplishments, and sharing his wisdom and life lessons along the way.

Howard enjoyed a long and successful career, spending most of it as the Manager of Computer Services for Tenneco Automotive at Walker Exhaust in Grass Lake and Monroe Shocks in Monroe, Michigan. His professional life was defined by hard work, dedication, and leading by example; qualities he carried into his home life as well.

Howard was a man of many talents. He found joy in woodworking, golf, attending his grandsons’ sporting events and activities, and helping family with countless projects. He built the family home in Clarklake, Michigan, with his own two hands alongside help from his brothers. Whether the task involved automotive repair, building, plumbing, electrical, or carpentry work, Howard had both the tools and the know-how to get the job done. He was always ready and willing to lend a hand to others.

Howard is survived by his son, Mark (Lori) Hudson; three grandsons Brett, Blake, and Cade Hudson; two step-grandsons, Chad and Cole Miles; two great-grandchildren Knox and Blakeli Hudson; and three step great-grandchildren, Cash, Paisley, and Brynlee Miles. He is also survived by his siblings Ruth Ann (Bob) Niemi, Joan Seckinger, and Paul (Debra) Hudson; his special friend Nancy; his loyal companion “Big Dawg”; and many loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, and friends.

At his request, Howard has been cremated. A memorial service and celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
