Obituary for Mary Ochs Kittle
https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/dayton-oh/mary-kittle-11668077
Accessed January 6, 2026
Mary Ochs Kittle passed away on February 13, 2024 at Hillspring Skilled Nursing Facility, in Springboro, Ohio. She was 88.

Mary was born in Canton, Ohio to parents William Fredrick Ochs and Evelyn Iva Orth Ochs. She grew up in North Dayton and attended Northridge High School, where she graduated in 1952 with honors. In 1953, she married Harley A Kittle, Jr. whom she met when her brother Harold Ochs brought him home with him on leave from the military. They had three children: Deborah, Daniel and William.

Her lifelong passions were gardening, creating new vegetarian recipes, collecting clowns and teapots, and her daily study of the Bible. She enjoyed these throughout her life and passed down her collections to family and friends.
Mary broke the glass ceiling, retiring from Sheridan Healthcorp, the largest Anesthesiology group in the U.S. located in Hollywood, FL, in 1999. She was instrumental in developing software for anesthesia billing, with IBM, that propelled the growth of the company. The development of her career began at Kettering Medical Center, where she held the positions of: Assistant Director of Medical Education in the 1970’s and Recruitment for Sycamore Medical Center when it opened. From there she went to managing the Kettering Anesthesiology Group where she began the development of billing software.

Mary is survived by her children, Deborah Dusseau Razdar and her husband Behzad, Pastor Daniel Kevin Kittle and William Christian Ochs, II. She is survived by her grandchildren, Jolene Hauser (Kris), Jacob Dusseau (Felicia), Whitney Romanoff (Jeremy), Elizabeth Makroro (Ron), William Katadrik (Natalie), Casper Kittle and Seth Ochs. She is survived by her great grandchildren, Bryson McNamara, Coralyn McNamara, Roselyn Hauser, Ella Dusseau, Dorian Dusseau, Oliver Dusseau, Jaxson Romanoff, Ronley Makroro, Bronley Makroro, Faith Makroro, and Sasuke Katadrik.

She is survived by her nieces, Brenda Markee, Pandy Boos, Becky (Brad) Davis, Ellen (Allen) Worthen, and Kathy (Ken) Stem and her nephews David (Rhonda) Boos, Jeff (Sheila) Stutrud, and Tim (Kim) Himes, along with many grandnieces and grandnephews. She wanted special mention of her granddaughter and husband, Jolene and Kris Hauser, and her niece Brenda Markee, for all the assistance they gave her over the past few years. She recognized that they went over and above for her comfort.

Mary was predeceased by her parents, her brother Harold Ochs, her sisters Nettie Boos and Lilah Himes, her nephew Michael Boos and her niece Karen Stutrud, with whom she was very close.

Mary was a lifelong member of the Seventh-day Adventist church and looks forward to the soon return of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and her joyful reunion with family and friends on the Resurrection morning. Mary’s ashes will be interred at Miami Valley Memory Gardens.

Mary’s celebration of life service will be held at the Centerville Seventh-day Adventist Church, 456 W Spring Valley Road, Centerville, Ohio 45458 on March 2, 2024 at 3:00p. Flowers can be delivered to this address. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to: ADRA (Adventist Development Relief Agency,) at give.adra.org Condolences in Mary's name may be made to www.tobiasfuneralhome.com

Obituary for William L Sheppard
https://seaverfuneralhome.frontrunnerpro.com/book-of-memories/1353210/sheppard-william-bill/obituary.php
Accessed January 10, 2026
William L. “Bill” Sheppard, 74, of 5468 Hinton Road in Athens died Monday, September 24, 2012, at Princeton Community Hospital.

Born in Elizabeth, WV May 15, 1938, he was the son of the late Claude and Beatrice Kettle Sheppard.

Bill retired in 1995 as Administrator/Chief Executive Officer of Princeton Community Hospital where he served in that capacity since 1972. His tireless efforts and strategic decisions in recruiting quality physicians and
giving them state of the art equipment established the foundation that helped advance P.C.H. to a much higher plane of medical care and services for our community that we still enjoy today.

He was a 1956 graduate of Parkersburg High School, 1960 Graduate of West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business, and a 1968 graduate of the Medical College of Virginia with a Masters Degree in Hospital Administration.

His medical career started in 1964 at Thomas Memorial Hospital in South Charleston, WV as Director of Personnel and Public Relations. Bill then moved to Roanoke, VA to serve as Administrative Resident at Roanoke Memorial Hospital for one year. He returned to Thomas Memorial Hospital in South Charleston as Assistant Administrator for four years before moving to Princeton in 1972.

His military career began in ROTC program West Virginia University. He served on active duty in the U.S. Army 1960 – 1962, and in the U.S. Army active reserves 1962 – 1966 where he earned the honorable rank of Captain.

Professionally, Bill was a member of the Board of Directors and Past-President of the West Virginia Hospital Association and a Fellow and Past WV Regent on the American College of Health Care Executives. Civically, he was a Paul Harris Fellow and Past-President of the Princeton Rotary Club and a Past-President of the Princeton Area Business Development Corporation, Princeton Credit Bureau, Princeton-Mercer County Chamber of Commerce and the Princeton Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Bill is survived by his wife, Barbara Hazlett Sheppard of Athens; one son, Brett Sheppard of Seattle, WA; one daughter, Heather Nielsen and husband David of Charlottesville, VA; one granddaughter, Ellie Nielsen; one brother, Eddie Sheppard and wife Ruth Ann of Mineral Wells, WV; three nephews, Randy Sheppard, Eric Sheppard, and Brian Sheppard; past foreign exchange student that Bill considered his second son, Peter Vanhulle and wife Leen and their three sons, Jacob, William, and Reuben all of Belgium; and special friend, Mike Matherly and wife Cathy of Athens.

Funeral services, beginning with the West Virginia National Guard Honor Guard and the Mercer County Veterans Council conducting military honors, will be conducted at 1:00 PM, Saturday, September 29, 2012, at the George W. Seaver Chapel of Seaver Funeral Home in Princeton with Rev. Larry Dyer officiating.

Burial will follow at the Sheppard Family Cemetery at Bill’s family home in Lerona. Serving as pallbearers will be Mike Gore, Mike Matherly, Frank Smith, Leroy Stennet, Phil Branson, Dr. Dana Olsen, and Mark Linkenhoker. Friends may call at the funeral home from 11:00 AM until the service hour on Saturday. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Mercer County Animal Shelter, 961 Shelter Road, Princeton, WV 24740.
