Fern K. Albright

Fern and her husband Ron moved to Rootstown 64 years ago and enjoyed many years in the community while raising nine children.

Fern was born to parents Joseph and Hilda (Pax) Hartman in Akron, Ohio on April 12, 1928. .

As a long-time member of St. Peter of the Fields Church, Fern enjoyed her many years of involvement with the Altar Rosary Society and service as a Eucharistic Minister. She also dedicated 25 years as a Eucharistic Minister for Robinson Memorial Hospital. In her earlier years, she donated her time as Co-Chair of both the Home School Association and Family Life at Immaculate Conception Church in Ravenna, as well as a member of the Evangelisation committee. She also enjoyed her association with the New Life Choir and the Young at Heart Club.

In her spare time, Fern loved flower gardening, camping with her family, travelling the world, cooking, and baking for her beloved family. Most important in her life was her family and faith.
