I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Marion Co. Ohio. I went to River Valley High School. After attending 1 yr. at Ohio State (Marion campus) I got a job. Three years later I went to Phoenix where I met my 1st husband,Larry Michael. We had two daughters, Barbara Jean and Tammy Marie. He passed away after 3 yrs of marriage. I returned to Ohio and met my 2nd husband, Charles Blackledge. Charles and I had 2 daughters; Janice Ann and Amelia Evangeline. Later we divorced. I remarried and divorced Robert Ringer of Mansfield, Oh. In 1992 I married Daryl Hill of Caledonia, Oh. We were married 8 yrs and he passed on of a heart attack in 2000. I remarried Michael Max Fridley and we lived in Michigan. We did lots of traveling. One day in 2005, while at work, he also had a heart attack. I now reside with an old school acquaintence in Marysville, Oh.
I was elected the chairman of a committee for our 100th Family Reunion and started getting interested in the ancestry of my family. I dabbled in it about 15 years ago but am more dedicated to it now that I have more time on my hands from retirement.
