Mary, I can't very easily go look, as I only get to Ohio a couple of times a year and probably won't have time to over the holidays. I don't recall your grandmother, and can recall no Rocks. I do know a few Timbs, including "The" (Theodore), Salina, Gale and Bev (now Stober). I believe they all still reside in Wakeman. Bev's husband, Leroy, operates the Nationwide office in Wakeman, so you might find a listing from him on the Internet. I'm sure Bev would gladly correspond with you.
