Obituary for Randy L Withrow
https://www.vittstermeranderson.com/obituaries/randy-withrow
Accessed September 6, 2025
Randy L. Withrow, born on February 22, 1961, passed away on July 12, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, passion, and cherished memories.

Randy was a devoted family man who found immense joy in the company of his loved ones, particularly his grandchildren, Shamaya, Kenya, Ras Akil, Ava, Jonathan, Zachary, Jacob, Luca, Brooklyn, Bethany, Nolan and Corin as well as his great-grandchildren, Amina, Dontonio, Finley and Matthew.

A veteran of the National Guard, Randy valued service and commitment, traits that he carried into his personal life.
He was known for his love of music, especially his admiration for The Beatles, whose melodies seemed to resonate with his very being. Randy enjoyed dancing, where he often expressed his lively spirit and joyful nature.

He took great delight in his wife's cooking, dutifully proclaiming her banana bread to be a particular favorite. Randy had a unique personality; he was known to be passionate about the things he loved, including a good argument that could spark spirited discussions. His fondness for wolves and eagles reflected a deep appreciation for nature and freedom.

Randy was also recognized for his distinct habit of chewing ice, a quirky trait that endeared him to many. Yet, despite his vibrant personality, he had a notable aversion to having his picture taken, preferring to be the observer rather than the subject.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Debbie Withrow, and their children: Christina Riddle, Angela (Travis Hinkle) Kendle, Randi (Patrick) Withrow, Anthony Caudill, Jennifer (Bevan) Jack, Brian (Jenny) Riddle, and Monica Wilson. Randy is also remembered by his sister-in-law Leisha Caudill, brother, Wayne Withrow, his sister Denise and other family members.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Donna Withrow, and his sister, Christine Withrow. Randy’s warmth, humor, and dedication to his family will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. His spirit will continue to inspire and bring joy to his family and friends as they remember the moments they shared together.

A celebration of Randy's life will take place Saturday, August 2, 2025 at 11 AM at Dayspring Church of God 1060 Smiley Ave. Cincinnati, Oh 45240. Please enter at door 5.

Christine Mae Withrow

Christine Mae Withrow was chatting with her daughter and By Jennifer Baker a neighbor, enjoying a late summer evening on the front porch of her apartment building.

Her 2-year-old granddaughter, Haley, played nearby on a step, jabbering in baby talk. Her daughter, Amanda Eudaly, 20, was holding Withrow's latest grandchild, Gabriella, who is 2 months old. It was the perfect end to a perfect Friday. Withrow, 42, had spent most of it with her grandchildren. Minutes later, she would make the biggest sacrifice of all: She died saving one of her grandbabies.

About 7:30 p.m. a car drove by on Price Avenue, going "real slow," Eudalyrecalled. Someone inside the vehicle started shooting at a man walking in front of the building. Pop! Pop! Pop! He took off, running between the building and a house. Withrow hustled down to scoop up Haley.

Pop! Pop! Eudaly jumped up herself, still clutching her baby, and ran Back on the street The accused gunman beat earlier charges when witnesses refused to show up in court. B5 inside. Then, she heard her mother call out. "My name was the last word she said. She had her arms wrapped around my baby's head," Eudaly said.

"One of the bullets went through her arm and pierced her chest. It's like a bad nightmare that everybody can't wake up from." Withrow died about 15 minutes later on the porch. Seventeen-year-old Tyrell Gill was charged Saturday in connection with the shooting. Withrow had recently returned to work cleaning newly constructed apartments for a friend's business. She was living in her daughter's Price Avenue apartment, saving up for her own place, her daughter said.

Withrow had pulled her life back on track, beating a drug problem she struggled with after her boyfriend was gunned down in 2001, her daughter said. Frank Drees, 38, was killed in his Quebec Avenue driveway in Oct 2001, Eudaly said. That slaying remains unsolved.

Drees was the only father Amanda Eudaly and her older sister Corissa, 23, knew, Eudaly said, and Withrow took his death very hard. "It's really hard to bury your parents when they've been murdered," Eudaly said Monday while making funeral arrangements for her mother. "It's really painful. Especially my mom."

Police said Monday that the gunman and his intended victim know each other and had some sort of dispute, investigators said.

"It's bad enough that we have so many shootings in the city where people are intentionally shooting at each other for their own disagreements, let alone have some innocent bystander who has nothing to do with their feud be fatally injured," said Sgt.  Bob Liston of the Homicide Unit.

"It's a tragedy on both sides," said Withrow's mother, Donna Withrow, 69.

Visitation for Withrow is 10 a.m. Wednesday at Ralph Meyer Deters Funeral Home, 4164 W. Eighth St.  Her funeral will follow at noon. She will be buried at St. Joseph New Cemetery.

  1944 - 1950 - Divorces Marie Curry and Marie Curry marries Frederick Herman Emil Ronas, Jr
 
  1950 - Census - Unable to locate this Ernest in this Census.  Son Earnest, Jr is living with paternal grandparents in Peach Creek, Logan Co., WV.  First wife Marie Curry is living with second husband Fred Ronas in Rock Creek, Ashtabula, OH.  Future second wife Ruth Jane Smith, still single, is living with her parents and two sons, Robert A Smith. 6 and James E Smith, 5 in New Cumberland, Cumberland Co., PA
 
  1950 - 1962 - Marries Ruth Jane Smith and adopts her two sons who take his last name.

However, I am unable to find any proof of this marriage.  It is true that Ruth Jane Smith was married to an Ernest Withrow and he gave his last name to her two sons who were born with the last name of Smith.  But is it THIS Ernest Withrow???  There are no documents I can find online that confirm the identity of the Ernest Withrow that Ruth Smith married.  No marriage documents or birth certificates. Nothing that has his birth date or that he was born in Huntington, WV. There is a death certificate for son Robert A Withrow in 1962, but it just has the name Ernest Withrow as the father, nothing more.

There are some direct descendant family trees (grandchildren) on ancestry that do have this union in their family tree.  But no one is providing a wedding or divorce date for Ernest and Ruth.  If these were my grandparents, I would at least have this info.

The only reason I leave this marriage information here, is that, it is probably fact, even though I can find no proof.  After finding the news clipping below, I believe the marriage probably is valid.  Note the full name given in the clipping: Ernest L Withrow , Sr.  This significantly narrows down the field of possible Ernest Withrow's.

Accessed September 11, 2025
WILLIAM "BILL" JOSEPH LIGHT of Ojai, Calif - Bill lost his battle with cancer on Monday, October 23, 2017. He passed peacefully while at home surrounded by family.

He was born on August 22, 1940, in Peach Creek, West Virginia, to William Joseph Light and Helen Withrow Light. He was the oldest of six children and attended school in West Virginia, graduating from Chapmanville High School in 1958, where he met the love of his life Dora "Fae" Marinis. They married on May 25, 1960, and were together until Fae's passing on April 6, 2012.

William "Bill" and Fae moved to Ojai, Calif., in 1963, where they raised their two daughters Lisa and Robin. They remained in Ojai for the rest of their lives. Bill spent many of his first years in California working as a mechanic at Adamson Shell in Ojai, followed by other positions in landscaping design and swimming pool installation.
After retiring, he spent five years assisting his wife Fae in her remaining years as a grade school teacher in Santa Paula. After Fae's retirement from teaching, Bill assisted the girls' softball coaches at Nordhoff High School in Ojai. He really enjoyed working with the student athletes and spending time on the softball fields sharing his sports knowledge, advice and many, many of his entertaining stories.

Sports of all types were a huge part of his life and he followed them avidly throughout his life, as well as a love of traveling to the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, Ca. He loved playing the penny slot machines. Bill is preceded in death by his father William, his mother Helen and Fae, his wife of 51 years.

His survivors include his daughters Robin Light, Lisa Light Mathews and her husband Tom Mathews, his brothers Doug Light, Richard Light and Tom Light and his wife Eva; his sisters Harriet McKnight and Becky Light and her husband Danny, as well as many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the America Cancer Society. A private family memorial will be planned at a later time.

Obituary for Douglas Arthur Light
https://www.newcomercolumbus.com/obituaries/doug-light
Accessed September 12, 2025
Douglas Arthur Light "Doug", 83 of Groveport, Ohio passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on July 19, 2025 at his residence.

He was born on June 23, 1942 in Peach Creek, WV. Son of the late William Joseph and Helen Louise Light.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by 3 brothers, William "Billy" Joseph Light, Thomas "Tommy" David Light, Richard "Dickie" Lynn Light, sister, Harriet Louise McKnight, 2 dear friends, Kelly Skaggs and Denny Workman.

Doug was a proud son of the mountains of West Virginia where he was born and raised. He had grit in his bones and fire in his heart. He grew up full of fight-a spirit that never backed down and never gave up.
The same spirit carried him through his service in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, where he served his county with courage and conviction. During his military service, Doug was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, and Good Conduct Medal - A reflection of his honor, discipline, and dedication to duty.

From a young age, Doug took on responsibilities beyond his years. He helped his mother care for his siblings, stepping in with strength and loyalty to protect and guide those he loved. He cherished his brothers and sisters deeply. That bond of family was one he carried proudly throughout his life.

As life carried him forward, Doug transformed that fierce strength into something even more powerful: love. He became a man who would give you the shirt off his back, lend a hand without hesitation, and show up no matter the hour. He loved deeply and endlessly - especially when it came to his family. In 1968 he married the love of his life, Bobby Ann Brumfield. Although they divorced, his love for her never stopped. His love for her was a quiet, steady presence in his life.A testament to the kind of heart he grew into.

Doug once drove a dynamite truck for the mines in West Virginia before moving to Ohio and working for Westinghouse and North American Rockwell where he met his best friend, Dave Stockham. He then went to work for a company that changed names many times and retired from Cardinal Health after 36 years.

Doug was a true competitor at heart, he found great joy in playing adult softball for his employer. He was so proud of the Championships they won and all the trophies and memories along the way. When he wasn't with family, you could find him on the golf course sharing stories and laughter - a club in hand and peace in his soul.

Doug also was a Life Member of AMERICAN LEGION Post #1, Life Member of AMVETS Post 1313, Life Member of VFW 6153.

Doug was a warrior, a friend, a father, a grandfather, a great-grandfather, and above all, a man who grew into a legacy of love. He will be remembered not only for where he started, but for the generous heart he grew into. He leaves behind a family who will miss him deeply, and a world made better by the kindness he showed.

May he rest easy now, forever cradled by the mountains he loved.

Those left to cherish his memories, his only daughter, Tina Lanette (Bryan) Mullins, 3 grandchildren, Erynn Victoria Hayes, Jaden Glynn Hayes, and Ella Grace Mullins, and a great-grandson, Dawson James Alexander. Additionally, he leaves behind his sister, Rebecca Jo (Danny) Chapman, sister-in-law, Eva Garrett Light, as well as many nieces and nephews.

The mountains of West Virginia always called to him, and he never lost his love for the wild beauty of home. Services will be held in West Virginia, where he wished to return and rest forever in the mountains he loved.

Obituary for Eleanor Mae Withrow Mira
https://www.lindfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Eleanor-W-Mira?obId=31797267
Accessed September 16, 2025
Eleanor Mae Withrow Mira, 91, formerly of Howard Ave., West Ellicott in Jamestown and Hultquist Place died Wednesday, October, 10, 2018 at the Lutheran Skilled Nursing Home in Jamestown.

Born May 22, 1927 in Peach Creek, WV, Eleanor was the daughter of the late Oliver Clarence and Mary Elizabeth Withrow. She was the widow of Felix J. Mira whom she married September 18, 1948 and who died March 11, 1997.

Eleanor was an active member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Lakewood. She served on several committees in her church and was a past treasurer of the Altar and Rosary Society. She helped coordinate Spaghetti Dinner fundraising events. She also set up and served many funeral receptions and helped organize rummage and bake sales.

On April 26, 2009 Eleanor received the Sacred Heart Servant Award from the Most Reverend Edward Kmiec, Bishop Emeritus of Buffalo during an Investiture Ceremony at St. Joseph Cathedral in Buffalo, NY.
This Lay Award of St. Joseph the Worker recognized Eleanor's devotion and unselfish labors on behalf of her parish. Eleanor was also a member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary and a member and past officer of the Marco Polo Club in Jamestown.

Eleanor enjoyed gardening. She was an avid bowler and loved playing cards. She will be remembered as a loving and caring mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She enjoyed entertaining in her home and always made the holidays special for everyone. She especially loved cooking and baking for family and friends.

In addition to her parents and husband Felix, Eleanor was preceded in death by her nine brothers: Charles, Oliver Clarence Jr., Ernest, James, Carl, Donald, Melvin, Willard and Tyrone; two sisters: Helen and Gladys; and a grandson, Gregory Michael Humm, who died January 22, 2018.

Eleanor is survived by her five children: John David (Sandra) Mira of Windsor, CO, Mary (Fred) Humm of Dewittville, NY, Marla (Randy) Holt of St. Leonard, MD, Thomas (Susan) Mira of State College, PA and Felix (Lori) Mira II of Keller, TX. She is also survived by nine grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.

Eleanor's family would like to extend sincere thanks to the staff at Hultquist Place, to those who gave special care to her at the Lutheran Retirement Home and to Reverend Daniel Rumfelt, chaplain at Lutheran. We also wish to thank Chautauqua County Hospice for their kind and compassionate care.

Eleanor's children will receive family and friends from 4 to 7 PM Wednesday, October 17th in the Lind Funeral Home, where a rosary service will be held at 6:45 PM.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10:30 AM Thursday, October 18th at St. Mary of Lourdes Church in Bemus Point. The Reverend Todd Remick, Pastor, will be the celebrant. Interment will be in the Mausoleum of Holy Sepulchre Cemetery immediately following the Mass.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care, 20 W. Fairmount Avenue, Lakewood, NY 14750; Hultquist Place Assisted Living, 715 Falconer Street, Jamestown, NY 14701; or to a charity of your choice.

Accessed September 16, 2025
Gregory Michael Humm, 32, of Parker, CO, formerly of Dewittville, NY died unexpectedly on Monday, January 22, 2018 in Colorado where he and his wife have resided for the past six years.

Greg was born June 17, 1985, the son of Fred and Mary (Mira) Humm of Dewittville, NY.
Greg graduated from Chautauqua Lake High School in 2003.

He went on to attend college at Jamestown Community College and later received his Bachelor's Degree from Jamestown Business College. Greg began his working career as a teen in the restaurant world as a dishwasher but quickly began dabbling in cooking. He worked for many years at Andriaccio's Restaurant and perfected his Tortoni recipe which was a patron favorite.
He later created his own wing sauce which he entered in a local competition and won first place. This was a major honor and achievement for Greg.

Greg worked multiple jobs while achieving his Bachelor's Degree which allowed him the opportunity to meet his beloved wife Stephanie.  After moving to Colorado, Greg put his college degree to use and worked countless hours studying to pass his stock brokerage exams. It was a proud day for him when he attained his brokerage license. He was hired at Fidelity Investments where he was working at the time of his death. He very much enjoyed his job and often talked about his wonderful and supportive co-workers.

Greg also enjoyed the outdoors, specifically hunting with his dad.  He was adventurous, charismatic, and had a love for people and animals alike.  Greg was a great man who was known and loved by many.  He was selfless and loved fiercely.  Greg had a million-dollar smile, an infectious laugh, a pure heart, and an intense loyalty for his family and friends.  He was especially proud of his Italian heritage and could often be heard greeting his friends "eh, paison!"

Besides his parents, Greg is survived by his loving wife Stephanie whom he married October 1, 2016, their fur babies Presto, a Chiweenie, and his cat Levi, his sister Patty Humm of Jamestown, NY, his mother and father- in- law Susan and Terry Presto, of Brocton, NY his sister-in-law Ashleigh Presto, of Tijeras, New Mexico, his grandmother Eleanor Mira of Jamestown, NY, many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as his beloved extended family, the Andriaccios.

Greg is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Fred R. Humm, his paternal grandmother D. Janet Humm, his paternal Aunt Jeanne Humm, and his maternal grandfather Felix J. Mira.

Friends will be received at the Lind Funeral Home in Jamestown, NY on Tuesday January 30, 2018 from 4pm-9pm.  The funeral will be held at Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church in Bemus Point, NY on Wednesday January 31, 2018 at 11am.  Burial will be at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Jamestown, NY.  Memorials may be made to 4Paws4Life 3648 N.
