Martha Rita Tucholski (Nowak) Martha Rita Tucholski, 94, formerly of the Polish Village passed away April 21, 2017 in the Otterbein Homes of Monclova, Ohio. She spent her golden years in the Lakewood Senior Apartments and West Park Place retirement community. She was a member of St. Adalbert and St. Hyacinth parishes, Circle 8, and the Margaret Hunt Senior Center. Martha was born on February 11, 1923 in Toledo, Ohio one of eleven children. She was a graduate of Woodward High School and worked for the former Kuhlman Potato Chip Co. and Stanley's Meat Market and used her superb marketing skills as an "Avon Lady" and life insurance salesperson. Martha was most proud of raising her four children and being a homemaker. She was the driving force behind family Sunday picnics and vacationing in upper Michigan and Connecticut. She had a green thumb when it came to growing tomatoes which she proudly shared with family, friends, and neighbors. Martha's infectious smile, laugh, wit, and joyful "conversational" singing (which invariably became a sing-along) will be missed by all.
