Eleanor V. Roe, 89, of Homerville passed away Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014, at home with her son by her side.
She was born March 21, 1924, to Joseph and Nellie Kiczek and grew up on the Kiczek farm in West Salem.
Eleanor and Richard made their home in Homerville, where she raised her family. A tragic accident took Richard's life, changing her life path for herself and family forever.
Being widowed at a young age and while raising four young children, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education and business from Ashland University and later earned a Master of Education degree from the University of Akron.
She taught at Homerville Grade School for one year and Cloverleaf Senior High School for 25 years, producing many award-winning students in Business Office Education.
Eleanor loved her life with Harley. They traveled, enjoyed gardening, cared for their beloved dogs, enjoyed performances involving her family, remodeled an old house where they made their home, participated in Medina DAV and the Marine Corps League.
She was a leader of West Salem Senior Citizens, a member of Homerville Alumni Association, belonged to Ladies Guild and attended St. Stephen Catholic Church, where her family was one of the founding members. After her retirement, she loved to share her talents as a volunteer and loved all people as was evident through her teaching GED classes, literacy and other classes through the County Extension Service to improve others' lives. She was an inspiration to all who knew her.
Eleanor was genuinely kind to everyone, young and old. She and Harley hosted the best New Year's Eve parties and get-togethers at their house. She enjoyed having company and could create a delicious meal in a moment's notice. She enjoyed countless hours at Harley's side in his machine shop and found inspiration in their woods. In their later years, Eleanor took care of him during his lengthy illness.
Eleanor dedicated her life to her family, friends and her faith. Now her family and friends must find the strength to let her go so she can fulfill God's promise of an everlasting life with her family and friends in Heaven.
She joins the love of her life, Richard Ziebro; and her kind, loving second husband, Harley Roe.
