Hazel Lucille Plath

Hazel Lucille Plath, age 99, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully, Tuesday morning, April 9, 2013, at Heatherdowns Rehab and Residential Care Center in South Toledo. She was born September 8, 1913 in Swanton, Ohio to Charles and Anna (Maas) Miller.

Hazel worked as a waitress for 60 years at the Southair Lounge in South Toledo, retiring at the age of 80. She enjoyed playing Bingo, going on cruises, traveling to Las Vegas and trying her luck playing the slots. She also was an avid Detroit Tigers baseball fan, and was known to read the newspaper daily from front to back. Most of all she loved being with family and having visitors. She never took her family and visitors for granted, when they left her room, she always said “thank you” and “I love you”.

She is survived by her son, Anthony Cisterino; granddaughter, Robin Grodi, great-grandchildren, Taylor and Renee; brother-in-law, Voyle Walters; sister-in-law, Berneda Miller; stepbrothers, Ed and Joe Kotlarczyk; very special niece, Nancy Roberts; as well as several other nieces and nephews.

Hazel was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Anna; husband, John Cisterino; son, Jackie DeLong; sisters, Melvene Walters and Ethel Brown; brothers, Mike, Harold, and Nelson Miller; stepbrother, Ted Kotlarczyk; and stepfather, Andy Kotlarczyk.
