Mable had been a resident at Valley View Healthcare Center for six years. She was born June 5, 1910 to Bessie (Deitrich) and Harvey Leggett in Bowling Green, OH. Mable and George Woodruff were married in September, 1926. Two children were born to them, Leo and Jean. George passed in 1949. Fifteen years later Mable and Emil Fronek were married at the Calvary Assembly of God church in Fremont. Emil passed in 1972.
Mable attended this church and taught Sunday school class for many years. She was a regular visitor at the Sandusky County Home and held a Sunday service there once a month. In 1950 she went to work at the Herbrand Company and after nine years there she went to work at Yerges Manufacturing Company.
Mable was the eldest of seven children and helped raise her siblings. Two of her favorite hobbies were working in her flower garden and raising canaries. She enjoyed sewing. Mable was the family barber and also cut hair for the neighborhood boys.
The highlight of her life was her grandchildren, Jim, Barbara, Ben, Donnie and Mark. She spent much time with them, took them swimming, took them on picnics and told them many stories of her child. She was a wonderful cook and a great housekeeper.
In the late forties she took care of several welfare children. Mable was in her eighties when she painted her house and at ninety she could still mow her lawn. She was a remarkable person to all who knew her. We will cherish precious memories of her always. What an inspiration and role model she was.
Surviving are son, Leo (Talitha) Woodruff; daughter, Jean (Donald) Ohms; five grandchildren, eight great grandchildren; eight great-great grandchildren; nieces and nephews and a half brother, Ronald Leggett.
She was preceded in death by, one grandchild; sisters, Margaret Kindred, Ruby Snyder, Leonna Eaten, Betty and Winonna Leggett; half-sisters, Bonnie Brown, Mary Lou and Margie Leggett; brother, William Leggett.
Services and Burial at Oakwood Cemetery are Private.
Memorials can be made to River of Life Church of God, 300 S. Park Ave, Fremont, OH 43420.

Leo, Talitha, Don, Jean and family:
So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was the most sweet, kind and wonderful lady that I have ever known. She was my Sunday School teacher and I have all sorts of wonderful memories of her as my teacher. They are memories that I will cherish forever. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow. It is reassuring to know that she is now in heaven with all of those who have gone before her. I am sure she is rejoicing with my parents and my sister. What a homecoming for her!
God Bless all of you,
Karon

Bro. Leo and family,
Susan and I will be praying for you and your family. Your mother was such a precious saint of God. I have very fond memories of visiting her at her home and at our church in Clyde. I thought of her every time I was in that part of Fremont where she had lived.

Mabel was my great aunt. Her brother, William, was my grandfather. Always one of my very favorite people, I have fond memories of going to her house whenever my family went to Ohio. She always made me feel so special and loved. The last time I visited her, as an adult, she must have been well into her 90’s. She fixed me lunch (what a lunch!) and, before we ate, she held my hands and prayed for me. No one has ever prayed for me the way she did that day. When my Father was a boy, Aunt Mabel provided him with love and a warm, welcoming place to go during a time in his life when he needed it greatly. In so doing, she laid a foundation of faith in my him that would influence his life as he grew to adulthood. I will be forever grateful to her for this because I strongly believe that she influenced the course of my family because of her relationship with my Father and the role model she was to him. I’m so thankful that I got to tell her how I feel about her on that last visit. Although they never met her, my children know of Aunt Mabel and how special she was to me, and my grandchildren will know about her, too. I will make sure of that. Thank you, Aunt Mabel.

What a wonderful lady that loved the Lord, and it showed every day!! I will always cherish the memories of her as my Sunday School teacher when I was in kindergarten. My condolences to Leo and Jean and all of your families in your loss, but it is of great comfort to know she is in Heaven now, rejoined with family members that went before and with Our Lord, and one day very soon, we will all be together with her again!!
