Kendra Rose Aber (72) passed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on February 9, 2025. She was the devoted middle child of the late Forrest L. Aber and the late Elizabeth Rose DeBiase McKee. Born on February 27, 1952, in Zanesville, Ohio, she is survived by her life partner, Peg Benner; her brothers, Larry A. Aber of Newark, Ohio, and Forrest A. Aber of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and her devoted little sister, Linda McDaniel (and Phil McDaniel) of Newark, Ohio. She is also survived by one aunt, Joann Yohman of Youngstown, Ohio; nieces Michele Peterman (and Dirk Peterman), Lorina Aber, and Peggy Lopez, all of Newark, Ohio; nephews Shawn G. Aber of Newark, Ohio, Ali Husaini (and Sakina Alaoui) of Dublin, Ohio, Shane G. Crisp (and Ashley Crisp) of Lancaster, Ohio, Michael Aber of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Giovanni Aber of Newark, Ohio, and Carlos Marroquin of Newark, Ohio; and a host of great-nieces and great-nephews, including Shawn G. Aber II of Newark, Ohio, and Cassandra Crisp of Los Angeles, California, as well as many dear friends who called her Aunt Dee-Dee. She was predeceased by her parents, sister Sandra Stewart, great-niece Te'a Woods, and great-nephew Damien Crisp.

Aunt Dee-Dee was the ultimate advisor, planner, and disciplinarian, with a heavy hand of deep love and respect for her fellow human beings. She was always giving of all she could offer for the betterment of all. She will most assuredly be missed and loved eternally.

A funeral service for Kendra will be held on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 10:30 AM, at Blessed Sacrament Church, with Deacon Patrick Wilson presiding. Immediately following there will be a Celebration of Life at the Sons and Daughters of Italy, 607 McKinley Ave., Newark.
