Ruth Silver

Ruth Noll Silver of Akron died Jan. 4, 2014. She was 92.
Born in Canton on Sept. 20, 1921, she was a true leader of her family. Ruth was a clear thinker who remained calm in times of crisis. Her home was a place of warmth and great food. Wherever she lived was home base for her family. Her calm manner, gentle blue eyes, and wisdom will be missed. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of card games, puzzles, sweepstakes, gardening, and Bingo.
She was a devoted great grandmother to Alex Salzinger of Twinsburg; loving grandmother to Ilana Fox of Akron, Laura Fox (Michael Salzinger) of Twinsburg, Melanie Silver of California, and Natalie Silver of California; supportive mother and friend to Janet Fox of Akron and Howard (Annette) Silver of California. She and her late husband, Jack Silver raised her beloved sister, Shirley Davis of Arizona as their own.
Services will be held 10 a.m. Thursday in the mausoleum chapel of Rose Hill Burial Park. There are no calling hours. Shiva will be from 1-8 p.m. in Twinsburg. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Bellefaire where she spent some time as a child during the depression, 22001 Fairmount Blvd., Shaker Heights, OH 44118. (Billow FAIRLAWN Chapel)
