Marilyn J. Alger, 83 years of age, passed away Saturday October 10, 2015 at UH-Portage Medical Center in Ravenna, Ohio. Born in Mantua Township, Ohio on November 24, 1931, she was the daughter of the late Hans and Pauline (Johnston) Mantsch.
A lifetime Mantua area resident, Marilyn was a graduate of Mantua High School in 1949, following which she attended Hiram College, graduating in 1952 with her BA in Education. She began her teaching career in 1952 at Crestwood Schools, retiring from there in 1994.
A longtime active member, and Elder of the Mantua-Center Christian Church, she was a church youth leader, and served her church in numerous ways whenever called upon over the years. Marilyn was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma, Ohio Education Association, Mantua Grange and Farm Bureau and the Mantua Restoration Society.
