The obituary of Eileen J. Nolder, 82 of Zanesville.

I was born in Coshocton on September 13, 1938 and my wonderful life ended suddenly on February 4, 2021 in Zanesville.  My parents, Roy and Nanna Ogle, predeceased me as did my brothers Ned, Jim, Harold , William, and Robert as well as my sister, Charlotte.  Marilyn Johnson, my dear sister, as well as Don, my brother, survive.  After graduating from Roscoe Village High School, I met the love of my life, Jerry Nolder, and we married on May 31, 1958.  Jerry survives me and it's simply an understatement to say we had a great 62 years together.  We laughed, cried, shared numerous cocktails, listened to jazz, and spent endless hours boating on the Muskingum River.  Thanks Jerry for the great run, you're the best!

Soon after marrying, we started a family which brought me two devoted sons, Jerry and Steve.  They were my singular focus as they were growing up and they rarely disappointed.  Jerry married Nan while Steve married Denise.  I'm happy to say I also have three beautiful and healthy grandchildren, Grant, Greg and Alie, all of whom have made me proud and they were a joy to watch mature. 

It's painful to say good bye, so let's just say so long.  Because of the pandemic, there will be a funeral limited to only immediate family members.  Finally, please don't send flowers; instead, please donate to the The Genesis Health Care Foundation, 1135 Maple Avenue, Zanesville, Ohio 43701 or online at www.genesishcs.org/foundation.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Ralston and the emergency room staff at Genesis Hospital for their compassionate care.

The Farus Funeral Home of Duncan Falls is caring for the Nolder family.
