Ridgely Mason Dieter, born in Sewickley, Penn. Oct. 1, 1923, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s home in Fallbrook, Saturday morning, Feb. 21, 2015.
Ridgely was the widow of Philip C. Dieter, and is survived by three children, son Herb Dieter and his wife Josephine who live in Cleveland, Ohio; daughter Ellen Dieter and Mel Choy, living in San Diego and Hawaii; and daughter Althea Heyneman and husband Russ living in Fallbrook. She had six grandchildren, Carly, Jesse, Shanon, Chelsea, Barrett, and Eric, as well as six great-grandchildren, Dru and Jaxon, Cora and Tess, and Alex and Brett.
Ridgeley was a graduate of Stephens College in Missouri. She worked for Polaroid both in front of and behind the camera. She began a recycling program back in the 60s in Ohio, way before it was common practice. When her children were old enough, she went back to work, first in retail, and then to the Shaker Heights Public Library in Ohio as she had a great love of books and reading. She also implemented a Birthday Book program for the elementary schools.
She will be greatly missed by all. A Celebration of Life is being held for her at Silvergate in Fallbrook, located at 420 Elbrook, in the east building from 3 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 8. All are welcome.
