Ralph and Cornelious Ball are now reunited in Heaven. Ralph passed away on May 7, 2021 and Cornelious, his wife of 58 years, joined him on October 29, 2021. Ralph and Cornelious met in Richlands, Virginia in their youth and fell in love. Ralph joined the U.S. Army and returned home after his service in the Korean War to marry Cornelious on July 2, 1962. They began their family and moved to Akron, Ohio a few years later.
Ralph worked for General Motors and retired after 36 years while Cornelious raised their family and cared for the home. Some of their favorite memories were trips down south to visit family and old friends. Ralph and Cornelious were devoted parents and grandparents and will be truly missed by all who knew them.
