Sandusky
Judith A. "Judy" (Weber) Rhode, 69, of Sandusky, passed away unexpectedly early Saturday morning, July 16, 2022, at Firelands Regional Medical Center, Main Campus, Sandusky. Judy was born July 2, 1953, in Sandusky, the daughter of Leo Paul and Dorothy Mary (Engelhorn) Weber. She was a 1971 graduate of St. Mary High School.
Judy will be remembered by one and all for her love of musical theatre, auto racing, and boats. Judy had a very infectious laugh and a smile and heart to match. Judy possessed a kindness for all of those she came in contact with and genuinely loved everyone around her. Judy was all things for all the people all the time. Ed and Judy were the love of each others lives and for several decades she had worked with her husband, as a legal assistant, at Rhode Law Offices.
Judy found Christ at an early age and was a member of Zion Lutheran Church. Judy was a member of Rattlesnake Island Club and Sandusky Yacht Club.
She is survived by her husband of 41 years, Edward W. Rhode III; daughter, Elizabeth E. "Liz" (W Jeffrey) Rhode Barrett of Sandusky; grandson, Ethan and another grandchild on the way; three sisters, Mary (William) Heck of Clintonville, Karen (James) Dubbert of Sandusky, and Kathy Ordway of Bellevue; brother, Mark G. Weber of Swanton; and her nieces, nephews and cousins. Judy was preceded in death by her parents.
