Richard “Dick” “B” Rasper

Richard (Dick) (“B") Anthony Rasper, born on September 28, 1933 in Cleveland Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on November 13 in Chesterland, Ohio.  His wife AnnElla Rasper preceded him in death in 2023. They were married for 67 years.  Richard is survived by his son, Rick Rasper ( Ellen) , daughters, Barb Schroeder (Kevin) and Amy Bechhold ( Bruce). Richard also has 10 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

Known for his intelligence, Richard was told by his parents that he could either be a pastor or a teacher. Not content with being able to do just one, he pursued both and spent his career as an itinerant pastor and sixth grade teacher.  In his retirement years, he dedicated his life to serving Jesus and serving others. He and his wife AnnElla took on the ministry of being premarital counselors at Parkside Church. They were also very involved in children’s ministry, as well as making deep connections with friends in Bible study groups.

An avid reader and sports fan, Dick especially loved following the Cleveland Indians and the Browns. He never lived  to see a Cleveland Browns championship, but was hoping that the next generation would.

Dick will be remembered as being a hard worker , an excellent teacher, speaker, storyteller and passionate Christ follower. He was a loving husband and a dedicated and sacrificial father. Family and friends will also remember him for making the best banana bread known to man. 

Always completing everything he started, Dick demonstrated resilience in all the challenges of life. He instilled  a strong work ethic in his children and taught them the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Even in his final days, he was witnessing the truth of the gospel and sharing the love of Christ with others.  He is now in his heavenly home, celebrating with AnnElla and their friends.

A memorial service will be held at Parkside Church 7100, Pettibone Rd. Chagrin Falls on  Friday, December 5th at 4 o’clock in the Fellowship Hall.

Marienne Helen Lipomi

Marienne Helen Lipomi
October 9, 1949 – November 2, 2025

Marienne Helen Lipomi, age 76, of Concord Township, Ohio, and South Pasadena, Florida, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2025.  She was born on October 9, 1949, in North Tonawanda, New York, the daughter of the late Edward and Helen (Basiak) Kaczor; and survived by her son, Chris Lipomi of Los Angeles, California; her devoted sister, Nancy Jo (Tom) Davidson of Slingerlands, New York; her brother, Mark (Laurie) Kaczor of North Tonawanda, New York; nieces and nephews Ashley Greenland, Mark Davidson, Ellen Davidson, and Nicole Zauski; and her beloved cat, Magic.

Marienne was a proud graduate of North Tonawanda High School.  She earned a Bachelor of Science in Education from the State University of New York College at Buffalo and a Master of Arts in Education from the College of Mount Saint Joseph in Cincinnati.  She began her teaching career in Niagara Wheatfield, New York, and in Florida, before settling in Painesville, Ohio, in 1979.  For 34 years, she served the Painesville City Local Schools with dedication and compassion, retiring from Maple Elementary in 2013.

Throughout her career, Marienne was known for her kindness and deep commitment to her students.  She sometimes provided school supplies, clothing, and personal support to children in need, always ensuring that every student felt valued and cared for.  In addition to teaching, she was an active member of the Painesville City Teachers Association, serving as building representative and later as President for 22 years.  In that capacity, she skillfully negotiated contracts, advocated for her colleagues, and guided the district through many important challenges.

Marienne’s warmth and generosity extended beyond her professional life.  She greatly enjoyed traveling with her sister and family and was a gracious host to friends and loved ones at her Florida home.  She was known for her elegance and impeccable sense of style, as she was rarely seen without a perfectly coordinated outfit, complete with matching jewelry, shoes, and purse.  Despite facing lifelong health challenges, Marienne’s strength, optimism, and spirit seldom wavered.  She was an example of enduring grace and love of the possibilities of life.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, November 10, 2025, at 11:00 a.m.  at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 9925 Johnnycake Ridge Road, Concord, Ohio.

Marlen Becker

Marlen (Orzechowski) Becker, of Austinburg, Ohio, passed away peacefully on October 26, 2025. She was born on August 14, 1946, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Charles and Mary (Filbin) Orzechowski.

She is survived by her children, Lisa and her husband Paul Danowski of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Stephen Becker and his wife Michelle of Dorset, Ohio; and by her beloved grandchildren Torren Danowski, Chaz Becker and his wife Madison, Kayleigh Danowski, Jessica (Becker) Caylor and her husband Matthew, Casey Danowski, and Sophie Danowski; as well as her great-granddaughter, Bobbie Sue Becker. She is also survived by her sister, Dorothy (Orzechowski) Brininger, and her husband Tyrone, and her brother, Charles Orzechowski.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William E. Becker Jr., and by her parents, Charles and Mary (Filbin) Orzechowski.

Marlen was a devoted wife and caretaker to her husband, and she raised her son and daughter to be independent, hardworking, family-centered people, leading more by example than instruction. She could turn bare cupboards into a meal that nourished both body and spirit, and she had a gift for making something out of nothing, whether that meant stretching a dollar, mending what was worn, or creating comfort from simple things. Her Christmas Eve spread of cheese and crackers came long before charcuterie boards were a thing, yet somehow it always looked like a feast. She had the ability to make ordinary moments feel like abundance.

She will be remembered for her unwavering devotion to family, her enduring strength, and her love that showed up in a warm meal, a clean home, and practical gifts. Those who knew her best will carry her lessons in their own lives to show up, to make do, and to love without fanfare but with a full heart.

Private family services will be held at a later date.

Barbara J. Walters

Barbara J. Walters passed away Thursday October 30, 2025 after 92 years filled with laughter and tears. She had a personality that quickly won over everyone she met — from nurses to the woman next in line at the grocery store. 

Barbara was often seen covered in turquoise jewelry— hoping to get lucky at the casinos. But it was her family where she felt she hit the real jackpot. Barbara’s legacy lives on through her daughters Sandi (Donnie), Jill (Mike) and Wendy, her grandchildren Michaela, Kyle, Amanda and Russell (Tiffany) and great grandchildren. 

Barbara was known for giving great advice about taking each and every opportunity you can to have an adventure — and that stubborn determination is how she lived her 92 years. 

May she rest in peace.

On June 22, 1974, Olivia married the love of her life, Jerry Dowling, and they celebrated 25 wonderful years together before Jerry's passing in 1999. Known for her playful teasing, Olivia's departure in her sleep was the least dramatic moment of her life. Though she offered excellent advice, she seldom heeded it herself. Olivia was famous for her homemade tortillas and loved cooking for anyone who appreciated a good home-cooked meal.

Olivia cherished her three daughters—Brandie (Brian) Adams, Catherine (David) Leonard, and Jerri Sue Dowling—just as much as she adored John Wayne. Her love extended to her grandchildren, Mya, Tyrique, Lydia, and Jalaya. The Dowling home was a sanctuary, always welcoming many foreign exchange students, reflecting Olivia's inclusive and hospitable nature. She was a devoted sister to Henry (Norma) Rodriguez Jr., Arthur (Wiltred) Rodriguez, Peggy Rodriguez, Dolores (Roger) Sandefer, Robert Rodriguez, and Francis Pike.

Robert was a 1976 graduate from Mentor High School. Following in his father’s footsteps he became a remarkably skilled welder and worked as a fabricator by trade for years. There wasn’t anything that he couldn’t build, fix, or rework.

Rob, as he was called, had a passion for music. He became an accomplished guitarist, song writer, and singer. He was one third of the original three members of the local Silver String Band and played many years with them. He was enthusiastic about his motorcycles and loved riding with friends for hours.

He had a whitty personality, enjoyed life…and lived it on his own terms.

Rob was preceded in death by his father and mother, Lester and Greta Boudinot, (sister) Leslye Vereshack, and (brother) Wayne Boudinot.

A beloved brother, he leaves behind his two sisters, Shirley (Danny) Stallings and Carolyn (Mike) Minadeo who will miss him so.

Mary Martinez-Bonnay

In Loving Memory of Mary Martinez-Bonnay

June 1, 1942 – October 16, 2025

With profound love and deep sadness, we announce that Mary Martinez-Bonnay, our beloved mother, grandmother, and best friend to many, has gone to meet the Lord on October 16, 2025.

Mom had a strong and personal relationship with God and often shared that you would find her “hanging on the robe of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Her deep faith was the heart of her life, guiding her with grace and strength.

She was an avid gardener with a love for her family and flowers. Known to many as “Mary Rose,” she spent years working in garden centers, sharing her knowledge.

Compassion and strength were gifts to all who knew her. She offered comfort, wisdom, and an open heart—always ready help or lend her strength. Though she has entered eternal life, her prayers and love will continue to embrace all those she loved.

She had a special devotion to The Seven Sorrows Rosary of Our Blessed Mother, finding in it both solace and strength. In her honor, those who wish may pray this rosary for the repose of her soul and in thanksgiving for the love she gave so freely.

Mary’s life was a beautiful reflection of faith, love, and strength. Though her earthly garden is now at rest, her spirit will forever bloom in the hearts of those she touched.

Timothy “TJ” Wineman

The world lost one of its most “colorful” characters when Timothy “TJ” Wineman 69, of Mentor Ohio clocked out for the last time on Oct 9,2025

— probably still wondering who moved his lantern collection!

Born in Alliance, Ohio to Francis and Gloria Wineman, TJ was the middle of three boys — which explains a lot. Sandwiched between Michael and Kirk, he might have secretly been the wild child, though he’d swear it was “just bad luck” (and possibly the influence of the other two).

TJ went on to have two children, Timothy Jr. and Stacy, proving that yes, someone did trust him to raise tiny humans. After realizing he was better at helping people put their lives back together than destroying his own, when he nearly earned himself frequent flyer miles to the county jail. He got to know the local judge well enough to exchange Christmas cards (first-name basis and all). But plot twist — he turned it all around,TJ took sobriety seriously starting in 1983 and became ahuge part of the AA community — the kind of guy who could give you tough love one minute and 

a bad dad joke the next.

In 1987, TJ married his wife Cathy, who already had three kids — Ricky, Jamie, and Randy. Because TJ never backed down from a challenge, they decided to add one more, welcoming Mathew. At this point, it was less of a family and more of a small-town census.

Professionally, TJ turned his passion for helping others into a lifelong career. He began as a drug and alcohol counselor, running the Chemical Dependency Program in the Geauga County Jail, then went on to work for the Lake County Public Defender’s Office, placing inmates into treatment programs — where he eventually retired, likely after realizing he’d talked enough people out of bad decisions for one lifetime.

TJ was also a collector — of lanterns (so many lanterns), war memorabilia, old train stuff, and anything that made people tilt their heads and ask, “Why do you have that?” His home was less a house and more a museum of questionable treasures.

Though he claimed he didn’t like kids, TJ still managed to rack up 15 grandkids and 2 great-grandkids, all of whom adored him anyway — probably for his unmatched sarcasm and secret soft spot he’d never admit to.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, the AA community, and anyone lucky enough to have experienced his quick wit, stubborn honesty, and legendary humor. TJ may be gone, but his lanterns — and his legacy — will keep shining bright.

Rest easy, TJ. You’ve done enough.

A celebration of life will be held in November, the date will be posted soon to come!

Luis Bagliano

A skilled craftsman, Luis worked as a cement finisher for Local 310 before retiring and pursuing his entrepreneurial dream. He founded Custom Concrete in Palm Coast, Florida, where he specialized in installing custom pools, transforming backyards into beautiful retreats for families throughout the community.

Luis’s love for soccer ran deep, and he remained a devoted fan of River Plate and the Argentine national team throughout his life. But perhaps his greatest joy was bringing people together around the grill, where he shared his beloved tradition of making asado with friends new and old. His gatherings were filled with laughter, good food, and the warmth of his generous spirit.

Luis is survived by his loving wife, Mary Bagliano (nee Guerra); his daughters, Mirna Coppola (Claudio - husband), Elizabeth Bagliano, and Paola Cichocki (Charles - husband), his son, George Bagliano ( Melissa - wife) ; six grandchildren, Claudio, Micaela, Alexander, Gabriella, Alexandra, and Victoria; and four great-grandchildren, Julian, Luca, Johnny, and Santino.

His legacy is one of remarkable courage and determination. He came to a foreign land and through sheer hard work and unwavering dedication, he built a life and family from nothing. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance, the strength of the human spirit, and the American dream realized through sacrifice and love. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
