Ruth E. Reding, early in the morning of Sunday, July 12, 2015, our dearest friend and aunt slipped away to a happier world. She had been at Akron General Hospital Hospice in Copley for less than two days.
Ruth was born in East Cleveland on September 18, 1925, graduated from Shaw High School, but did not complete college. She worked with the Western Reserve Medical Group and became Secretary to the Dean. She later went to Washington State to work as a Personnel Manager for the Army. She returned later to care for her parents and became an Advertising & Production Manager with Penton Publishing Co. in Cleveland, from which she retired in 1991.
Ruth then moved to Stow where she and a friend lived for nearly 25 years. She was active in the Stow Historical Society for many years and also President of her Condominium Association for several years.
Besides her longtime friend Marjory Willoughby, she leaves behind her niece, Susan Herr of Las Vegas; nephews, John Knight of Virginia, David and Tom Knight of Florida and John D. Knight of Stow.
There will be no services. Inurnment will be held at Hudson Pet Cemetery. Bissler & Sons Funeral Home and Crematory are handling the arrangements.
