Louise “Lou” Agnes
(Winner) Grilliot
Louise “Lou” Agnes (Winner) Grilliot, age 97, passed away on October
21, 2020, in Versailles, OH.
Lou was born on September 5, 1923, north of Sidney, OH. The daughter of
the late Herman and Loretta (Luthman) Winner, she was raised on her
beloved family farm in McCartysville, OH, and graduated from Anna High
School. She later moved to Versailles, OH, were she met her
loving husband, Purcell “Percy” Grilliot, and then married on June 22,
1949. They lived happily together for 70 years in
Versailles. She was the heart and soul of the family, and is
survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Cynthia and Anthony “Chuck”
Scott of Arcanum, OH, and Jill and Nicholas Magoto of Upper Arlington,
OH; her grandchildren, Kelly and Jerry Angel of Houston, TX, Erin Scott
of Charleston, SC, Zachary and Hannah Magoto of Upper Arlington, OH,
and Elliot Magoto of Columbus, OH; her great-grandchildren, Jackson
Angel and Oliver Purcell Angel; and her siblings, Elizabeth “Betty” and
Donald “Don” Nutt of Vandalia, OH (sister and brother-in-law).
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and siblings,
Marianna and Lawrence Schmitmeyer (sister and brother-in-law), Vernon
“Vern” and Dorothy “Dot” Winner (brother and sister-in-law), Ernest
“Ernie” and Mary Winner (brother and sister-in-law), and Treva and
William McKim (sister and brother-in-law).
Lou held many interesting jobs throughout her career. In the
early years, she worked as a telephone operator in Dayton, OH; at her
brother’s restaurant, the Chick Inn, in Versailles; for the Poultry
Producers candling eggs, before giving that up to raise a family.
In 1969, she went back to work at Midmark in Versailles for 16
years. She retired in 1985 after serving as the first female
foreman in Midmark’s history, and helped to construct the first exam
table Midmark ever manufactured.
Her strong work ethic was a staple around the Grilliot household.
You could always find her busy around the house cooking, cleaning, or
outside tending to her flowers. She loved to work, but she worked
to live. She was always the life of the party, who loved to dance
at the Crystal Ball and entertain family and friends. However,
she was mostly passionate about her family. They will cherish
their times with her golfing, bowling, fishing, going on trips
(especially to the casino), making applesauce, baking apple pies,
playing cards and thrilling ping pong matches.
She was a member of the St. Denis Catholic Church.
Mass of a Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, October
24th, 2020, at the St. Denis Catholic Church in Versailles, with Rev.
Father Jim Duell celebrant. Burial will follow in the St. Valbert
Cemetery. The family is requesting masks be worn for the safety of
Lou’s family and friends.
It is the wish of the family that memorial contributions be given to
the Versailles Emergency Medical Services, 177 North Center Street,
Versailles, Ohio, 45380. Services by Bailey Zechar Funeral Home,
Versailles, Ohio
