BELLVILLE ~ While attending Lexington high school,

Miriam Izer was one of few students fortunate enough to

have her very own transportation to and from school;

she rode her horse-Topsy. That was in 1930 and

throughout her life Miriam worked on the family farm,

raised four children, and baked the best pies.

Now at peace, Miriam I. Izer passed away Wednesday,

February 23, 2011 surrounded by her family. She was

98.

Born in Lexington on July 13, 1912 she was the daughter

of Gustavis and Tess Snyder. A homemaker, Miriam cared

for her family and in her younger years worked on the

family farm milking cows and tending to her garden.

Throughout her life Miriam loved gardening and always

had a soft spot for horses.

An excellent baker, she made the best rhubarb and

butternut squash pies. Miriam also enjoyed baking

cutout cookies and taking daytrips throughout Ohio.

She is survived by her son Luke (Kathie) Izer of East

Sparta, son Ronald (Carrie) Izer of Mansfield, daughter

Karen (Neil) Reardon of Mansfield; grandchildren Brian

and Brent Brewer, Kim, Steve, Todd, and Robert Izer;

two step grandchildren David and Brian Reardon; three

great grandchildren Alyssa, Breanna, and Derek Brewer.

Miriam was preceded in death by her husband Oren Izer,

son Jon Izer; granddaughter Missy Izer; brothers and

sisters Russell and Cecil Snyder and Vivian Kilgore and

Betty White.

The Izer family will receive friends Friday February

25, 2011 from 12noon to 2pm in the Bellville Snyder

Funeral Home where her funeral will begin at 2pm.

Burial will follow in Bellville Cemetery.
