Linda M. Prudhoe

 Linda M. Prudhoe, a longtime member of Christ United Methodist Church,
 passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 12, 2025 in Medina.  Linda was
 born on February 6, 1949 in Cleveland, Ohio.  Linda is the daughter of
 the late Michael and Virginia McKelvey.  Linda is survived by her
 daughter Lisa Rish (Dr. Michael) of Avon Lake.  Her grandchildren
 Nathan, Noah, Lauren and Colin and her beloved sister Karen Rahl
 (John) of Humble, Texas along with her nephews Kevin and Brian (Kylie)
 and young great-nieces Tessa Joy and Lilly Ann.

 Linda was a 1966 graduate of John Marshall High School and attended Bowling
 Green State University.  With a strong work ethic and vibrant personality,
 Linda became a working woman in the corporate world!  She benefited
 from building a fruitful thirty five year career at Sherwin Williams Company.

Personal success aside, her greatest treasures were family, friends
and faith.  Immeasurable joy burst forth in the garden of her heart
 when each of her grandchildren were born! Opportunities for special
 moments with each of them was of utmost importance and nourished her
 soul.  She spoke of them with such admiration - marveling at how each
 continued to blossom in new, exciting ways.

 Through the peaks and valleys, Linda cherished her friends.  Among
 those she held most dear were "The Godesses" - Cheryl, DeeDee, Joy and
 Lisa who has supported and celebrated each other shoulder to shoulder
 and will continue to hold fast to their bond so deeply rooted in love
 for one another.  Kind neighbors, Bernice and Pat were heaven-sent
 as they were cheerleaders to bolster Linda's spirits, a helping hand
 at a moment's notice or a peaceful presence in the wee small hours of
  the morning.

 An unwavering faith was Linda's stronghold while enduring her short
 illness.  She faced each day with hope, trusting she would soon be
 welcomed with open arms to her eternal home.  As she persevered through
 pain, she felt shaded in comfort by engaging in extended conversations
 with her cousins and nephews, while also reminiscing with her sister,
 Karen.  Linda embraced the gift of knowing her time was short and made
 it a point to connect with those around her, encouraging them, showing
 gratitude for the difference they made in her life and appreciation
 for who they are in this world!

 It was Linda's wish to be remembered with a smile on her face and a
 song in her heart.  May the music made and shared together connect our
 hearts always, until we're all joined together again in the heavenly
 choir of angels.

 Memorial Services Saturday, November 22, 2025 at 2 PM at Christ United

Brenda has always had a special bond with all her brothers and sisters, especially with her twin sister, Barbara, who have an eternal bond that thrived over eight decades. Brenda instilled the same passion of the importance of family and faith to her children and grandchildren; this is her true legacy.

Brenda worked for several years at the North Royalton Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, where she was locally known as “the nicest lady at the BMV.” After retirement, Brenda dedicated her time to what she loved doing most: spending quality time with family and friends. Brenda’s favorite memories include family summer vacations, family reunions, weekend cookouts, family holiday celebrations, family dinners, and family puzzle night.

Brenda brought her family together as much as life would allow and provided love and support every step of the way.

Brenda’s faith was paramount and was a devout parishioner in the St. Collete Catholic Church parish. Her faith called her to volunteer at the Sisters of Charity Regina Health Center sharing her love and compassion with residents through a warm smile, a heartfelt touch and kind conversation; Brenda made a difference wherever she could.

Brenda leaves behind a legacy unmatched in its love and kindness. Her infectious laugh, once brightening every room, may no longer ring out, but it echoes forever in our hearts. And the lessons she shared—of compassion, generosity, and resilience—will continue to guide all who knew her.

Marie D. Solgos


Marie Diane (Dee-Dee/Nana) Solgos

It is with a mix of sadness and gratitude that we share the passing of Marie Diane Solgos (Dudas), who peacefully returned to the House of the Father on Monday, April 28 having been fortified by the sacraments of Holy Mother Church.

Marie was an incredible mom to Joseph Simon (Basil) Damukaitis and the late Jeffrey James Damukaitis. She absolutely adored her grandchildren, Chloe Emsoff and Corban James Damukaitis, and was excitedly awaiting the arrival of her newest great-grandchild, Luka James Emsoff, along with her beloved great-granddaughter, Kennady Emsoff.

Marie was the loving wife of Jerry (Jerome) Solgos, who predeceased her, and she cherished his family as her own. Born to Jim and Helen Dudas, Marie was the eldest of six siblings, including James, Joseph, Robert (deceased), Susan, and Bonnie. Family was her everything, and her bonds with her brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and grandnieces were incredibly special to her.

Over the past two years, Marie was cared for by the devoted staff at Concord Reserve in Westlake, Ohio, and her appreciation for their kindness and compassion was evident even in her final days.

Marie was the ultimate friend to everyone she encountered. Her vibrant spirit made it impossible not to love her. She was the life of the party, known for her infectious enthusiasm and selflessness—always putting her children, family, and friends first. If she couldn't physically or financially lend a hand, she was always praying for others by name and their intention through the intercession of Our Lady.

Her viewing will take place on Friday, May 2, from 4-7 PM at Donlon Funeral Home, 15408 Triskett Rd, Cleveland, OH 44111. The Requiem Mass (funeral) will be on Saturday, May 3, at 10 AM at the Church of St. Mel, which has been the beloved parish of three generations of Dudases.

In our grief, we find comfort in knowing that Masses will be celebrated for her repose around the world, including Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto in France on the day of her funeral.

Marie, you have brightened our lives and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you for the love and laughter. Requiescat in pace, mom.
