Karen Reddinger-Cruz Memorial Fund

Please help us support the grieving family of an amazing woman, mother, daughter, friend, sister, aunt and co-worker - Karen Reddinger-Cruz. Karen was born Aug. 25, 1966, in Youngstown, the daughter of Richard and Gail Bundy Reddinger. Karen was a graduate of Liberty High School and attended Kent State University. She was a dedicated assistant manager for Riverstone Residential Group at Bay Isle Key Apartments who tragically passed away at a young 46 years of age on October 12 at Northside Medical Center in St. Petersburg, FL. Karen has been with Riverstone on and off since 2000, and has made many lifelong friends throughout the company along her way. Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with Karen knows how talented, inspiring, intelligent and compassionate she was each and every day at work. Her beautiful children, Josh & Amanda, were the light of her life. They were everything to Karen, and everything she did in life was done with their best interest in mind.

Besides her children, she leaves her parents, Richard Reddinger of The Villages, Fla., and Gail Bundy Reddinger of St. Petersburg, Fla.; her brothers, Brian and David Reddinger of Girard; her nephews, Jacob and Michael (Danielle Regula) Reddinger and their daughter Aubree, of Girard; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Karen's family will receive family and friends 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Churchill United Methodist Church, where there will be a funeral service following the calling hours.

Together, we hope to be able to raise funds to help Karen's family through this time of need. Thank you all in advance for your support.
