CUYAHOGA FALLS-Altheda Marie Somppi, 87, passed away November 12th, 2013, at her home.

She has lived in Cuyahoga Falls the past 60 years in the home they built together. She worked for Snodgrass Optical and Akron Board of Education. After her children were grown she worked at the City of Cuyahoga Falls Utility Billing office, where she retired from.
She was a wonderful photographer with the perfect eye for the portrait. She loved making memories for her family and generations to come.
