Ruth (Glick) Kyman

Ruth was born in Cleveland, Ohio to Zelta (Schulist) and Milton Glick. After graduating from Cleveland Heights High in Spring of 1950, she went on to study as an English Major at The University of Michigan. Upon graduation, Ruth went on to earn two Master's Degrees: Case Western Reserve- Masters in English & The Cleveland Institute of Art- Masters in Art, while kicking off a 25-year career in Special Education teaching at Andrew School for Girls in Willoughby, Ohio.

Initially, Ruth met her husband Richard Kyman (Dick) her sophomore year of high school. The meet-cute story goes: It was the Summer of 1948 and while Ruth was standing on the corner with friends, Dick walked by with his new camera. Ruth was so nervous as he showed it to her, that she ended up dropping the camera and breaking it. Embarrassed, Ruth ran home to tell her parents that if a guy named Dick Kyman calls the house, they were to say she no longer lived there.

It wasn't until 27 years later in 1975, when they became reacquainted, laughing over their first encounter. Then in 1978, they were married, where Ruth adopted both of Dick's children Holly & David.

After retiring from Special Education in 1979, Ruth spent her time teaching various forms of art from her studio at the house, while being a loving wife, mother & grandmother.

Ruth will be sadly missed by her husband Dick, her daughter Holly (son-in-law Jarion & grandson Caden), and son David (son-in-law Brad).
