Biography of Linda Ruffing Kettel

In 1964 I graduated from Bowling Green College with a Bachelor Degree in Education. On November 26, 1964 I married Ray Kettel, a 1958, Norwalk High Graduate.

My first job and for the next thirty-four years I taught at Maplehurst School in Norwalk, Ohio. While teaching I attended classes and received my master’s degree. Ray worked in Mansfield, Ohio for General Motors until he retired in 1999. Our son, Richard, and family live in Brighton, Michigan. Richard graduated from Purdue University. He is an electrical engineer. He presently works for General Motors Component Holding LLC. While he was attending Purdue, he met and married Dianne. They have two girls: Sarah and Rebecca. Mom home schools the girls. Dianne is a licensed veterinarian and home schools the girls.

While Ray and I worked our jobs, we had rentals for twenty-five years. Eventually we sold all rentals and bought a small mobile on deeded land in Ellenton Florida. We enjoy for four months shuffling, cribbage, and dominoes.
