Jane Eileen Yunk

Jane Yunk Jane Eileen Yunk passed away on August 11 in her daughter’s Perrysburg home. Born on November 25, 1925 to Agnes and Francis Newlove, she spent her childhood on farms in Henry and Wood Counties. She graduated from McClure High School in 1943 and, typical of so many young women of the time, immediately began working to support the war effort. She later became the office manager for a finance company in Bowling Green and, many evenings after work, would go to dances held in Toledo. It was on such an evening that she met Ralph Yunk, her “best friend for life.” They married in 1950 and enjoyed 64 years of marriage before his death in 2014. Together they raised one daughter, Judy Lang, and doted on their only grandson, Brady. Two weeks before her death, Jane was thrilled to meet her first great-grandchild, Rosalie. Although she held several jobs outside the home, she was happiest being the “ultimate” homemaker. Jane was an immaculate housekeeper, wonderful cook, talented seamstress and avid entertainer. She was never happier than when she was planning a get-together for family or friends. She also was known for sending lively notes and cards to everyone she knew. Jane loved all animals, but especially the dogs she and Ralph enjoyed throughout their marriage. Her last two years were made considerably brighter by her canine companions, Billy and Gene. Jane had two sisters, Evelyn Weimer and Marjorie Richard, who preceded her in death. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Judy and Fred Lang, and her grandson Brady Lang, of Los Angeles, his wife Sara, and their daughter Rosalie. She also was loved by many nieces and nephews who, last November, joined her for her 90th birthday celebration. Jane’s family wishes to thank Sincera Palliative Care and Hospice of Northwest Ohio for their wonderful care and support. They also will be forever indebted to Jane’s long-time aides—Renee, Cindy, Pat and Marsha—who so reliably provided years of loving care and companionship. A celebration of Jane’s life will be held at noon on Saturday, August 20 at Coyle Funeral Home, 1770 South Reynolds Road. There will be a visitation from 10 a.m. to noon, prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made in Jane’s memory to Hospice of Northwest Ohio or The Toledo Area Humane Society.
