EILEEN RIBBLER Obituary
Eileen Marie Ribbler, 72, of Kettering, Ohio, passed away peacefully at Hospice of Dayton on January 19, 2022, after a hard fought battle with cancer. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mary (Maria) and Morris (Rib) Ribbler and is
survived by her brother, Sam (wife Barbara) Ribbler and her nieces, Jourdan and Alyssa. Eileen was a wonderful and unique individual with a heart of gold and a thirst for knowledge. She graduated from Wright State University and was employed there as a word processor for many years. She was an authority on the history of Tarot cards and performed many readings for family and friends. She was an accomplished thespian having performed in a variety of stage plays. She was an avid movie buff, had studied the history of cinema, and acquired an extensive collection spanning many genres. She was also an aficionado of science fiction publications and had accumulated a large and varied library. Her wish was to be cremated and, in lieu of services, you may make a donation in her honor to SICSA, Pets Without Parents (Columbus), The World Wildlife Fund, or NORML. She would also like, if you so choose, for you to order something from Archie McPhee (mcphee.com), watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, eat some Chinese, Indian, or Thai food, and to be a kind and good human being.

I was saddened to hear of Ms. Ribbler's death recently. She was a fine student at Wright State University who took several history courses from me. I remember her interest in Tarot cards and her wry sense of humor. She not only worked as a word processor for WSU, but also began her own business (this was in the early days of personal computing when word processing was an exotic new technology). Her card listed her as "President and sole Employee."
On behalf of the WSU community, my wife, Leonor (who also recalls her fondly), and myself, I'd like to extend our sincerest sympathy at Ms. Ribbler's untimely death. It's always distressing for teachers to survive their former students.
