Takeko (Taki) (Judy) Zautner, age 80 of Oregon, Ohio passed away on Sunday, March 15, from complications of Alzheimer's Disease. Taki was the beloved wife of and survived by her husband of 44 years, Ira (Ike) Zautner, also of Oregon.
Born in Japan, she came to the United States when she was in her twenties. Taki was an excellent seamstress and worked at the Sophia Lustig Shops as well as Jacobson's Department Store at the Westfield Franklin Park Mall until they closed in 2004. Taki continued alterations for some of her favorite clients in her own home.
She was a fabulous cook making many dishes from her native Japan. One of her favorite things to do was to play cards and Taki had a special love for all of her cats, taking such good care of them. Taki will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
A special thanks to the staff at Parkcliffe Alzheimer's Community Center in Northwood, Ohio. There will be no visitation or service. Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Homes is assisting the family with arrangements.
