LYNNE RAE KRESGE EATON, 82, passed away peacefully on April 10, 2026, at Arden Courts Memory Care in Bath. Born in Akron to Raymond and Margaret Garforth, she graduated from Cuyahoga Falls High School, Muskingum College, and received her Master s Degree in Education from Kent State University. Lynne was an admired Social Studies and Government teacher at Firestone High School and then a Social Studies Department Head in Vineland, New Jersey, where she moved with her husband, Robert E. Kresge. She traveled to D.C. with her students annually. Because they discovered a love for Maine during a vacation trip, they left Ocean City and relocated to the rocky coast of Brunswick, Maine, where Lynne embarked on a new career as a paralegal for many years. At retirement, they relocated to the Gulf in Bonita Springs, Florida, where Robert passed away. Lynne later remarried Harold R. Eaton and lived in Florida until they were both stricken with illness in 2024 that necessitated her return to Ohio to be close to and cared for by her family. Harold passed away in memory care in December 2025, near his family, and just four months before Lynne. Lynne was an avid writer and cat lover. In 2018, she finished and published a great 5-star book, which was a lifetime dream come true for her. She took great pride in being an animal communicator, especially with cats. Her book titled, Autobiography of a Maine Coon Cat, as told to my mom, Lynne Kresge , is written from the perspective of her own cat, Pickles, and is quite funny and interesting.Lynne is preceded in death by her parents and spouses, she is survived by her sister, Lee Ann Weisenmiller, beloved niece, Ramona Lynne Marsh, great nephews, Adam Lawrence & Jacob Raymond Marsh, and great niece, Rebekah Leeann Marsh, and many cousins and friends.
