Mary Ellen Reymann (Moltz), Age 78, of Akron, passed away due to COVID-19 on November 20, 2020. She was born on July 11, 1942, to Frank and Peggy Moltz. She was raised in Cleveland and graduated from St. Mel’s grade school and St. Joseph Academy High School. She received a nursing degree from St. Thomas Hospital School of Nursing in 1963 and married Dick Reymann in 1965. She lived in Ellet and was a member of St. Matthew Parish for 55 years.

Mary Ellen worked as a registered nurse at a variety of companies including Fairview Park Hospital, Akron Children’s Hospital, Teledyne Rubber Company and PSI Solutions. She was active in many community organizations over the years including the St. Matthew Holiday Bazaar (which she started with her dear friend Mona McGraw), St. Matthew Women’s Auxiliary Guild, St. Matthew PTT, Reymann Foundation historian, Charles Reymann Knights of Columbus Council #4664 Women’s Auxiliary, and perhaps her most important and beloved cause - the Akron Children’s Hospital Holiday Tree Festival.

Mary Ellen was a very kind hearted person who had a lot of love to share. Everyone she came in touch with could see and feel that love. She enjoyed doing crafts and brightening others with her creativity. She was a great wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, godmother and friend.
