Eleanor R. Kuhles' Obituary
ELEANOR RUTH (SIBLEY) KUHLES, 90, departed her earthly life on May 3, 2020 at Holy Family Residential Hospice in Parma. She was born to the late Lawrence and A. Margaret (Voth) Sibley on August 17, 1929 in Lakewood. Eleanor was reared in Cleveland and in 1949 married her beloved late husband Richard Kuhles of 52 years.
Surviving are her loving daughters, Kathryn Budnie (Mike) of Warren County, Virginia, and Joanne Tournoux (Gene) of Broadview Heights, along with nephews and many dear friends. Eleanor was also predeceased by her loving sister Alice Glasser (late husband Robert), her dear brother Howard Sibley (late wife Anne), and her nephew Donald Glasser.
Eleanor and her family moved to Upper Arlington in 1965, where she worked as a secretary for the Columbus Public Schools. They were members of Upper Arlington Lutheran Church. In 1985, the couple retired to Orlando, Florida, and was a member of Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church. Eleanor returned to the Cleveland area in 2013 to be closer to family.
Eleanor Kuhles will be fondly and lovingly remembered as a gracious, loving, caring mother who dearly loved God, her husband, her daughters, and her sons-in-law “very, very much…and don’t you ever forget it!”
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Holy Family Residential Hospice, 6707 State Rd, Parma, Ohio 44134.
