Beth Olberding
Beth Ann Olberding, 58, of 151 Grandview Ave. Fort Loramie, Ohio, passed away Tuesday August 20th, 2024 following an extended illness.
She was born November 10th, 1965, in Saint Marys, the daughter of Kenneth and Ann (Meyers) Dammeyer. She married Craig Olberding December 28th, 2012; he survives at the residence.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her mother Ann Dammeyer of St. Marys; her two children: Kyle Slife, Brooke (Dakota) Knous of Saint Marys; step children Tara (Jacob)Maurer; Janel (Mark)Frilling of Fort Loramie and by her grandchildren Kennady Slife, Memphis Knous, Micah and Mia Frilling. She is also survived by her brother Kenneth (Shirley) Dammeyer, sister Lesia (Kurt) Arnett, and sister-in-law Sheila Dammeyer all of St. Marys.
She was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth Dammeyer and her brother, Jeffery Dammeyer.
Beth was a 1984 graduate of Saint Marys Memorial High School. She worked for Auglaize County and retired in 2015 with 30 years of service. The last 25 years she proudly worked for Auglaize County Job and Family Services where she started as secretary for Children Services and retired as a fraud investigator in the Income Maintenance Unit. Beth was a member and past board member of Ohio Council of Welfare Fraud.
After retirement from the county, Beth continued working a variety of part time jobs. She enjoyed bartending at Skudzy's, cleaning, and traveling to Pensacola. Her favorite pastime was taking care of and spoiling her grandchildren. Beth had a huge circle of good friends from all generations. Her laughter was contagious and she loved socializing in large groups. She was well-known for her shrill, ear-piercing whistle, a talent she mastered in the third grade while in the middle of a 4-H meeting.
Beth was thankful for the care she received at the Stephanie Spielman Center where she was eventually on a first name basis with most of the staff. She was known for her cheerful attitude and appreciation. She was a true Rockstar to many.
