January 5, 2023

Marilyn Elizabeth Riehl of Worthington, Ohio, a former Pawleys Island area resident, died Dec. 15. She was 80.

She was born on April 9, 1942, in Cleveland, the daughter of William A. Riehl and Talitha H. Riehl. She graduated from Hoover High School in North Canton, Ohio, and earned a master’s degree from the University of Akron in historic clothing and textiles. 

She was a member of the Church of the Master, Westerville, Ohio, where she sang in the choir. 

Mrs. Riehl was remembered as an advocate for caring for people and animals who could not care for themselves. She also took great pride and satisfaction in teaching others to quilt, bake and sing.

Another brother, William L. Riehl, died before her.

A celebration of her life was held Dec. 21 at Schoedinger Worthington Funeral Home.
