     Ronald Wayne Best Ronald Wayne Best, Nov 24, 1938 - Jan 5, 2021. Ronald Best, 82, went home to be with Jesus on January 5, 2021. He was the youngest of 14 children to his late parents Elam and Anna (Barger) Best of New Springfield. Ron was a 1957 graduate of Springfield Local High School and married his high school sweetheart Judy Thomas, with whom he celebrated 60 years of marriage. He was a proud veteran of the U.S.Army, owned his own carpet installation business, and was an instructor for MASCO where he enjoyed working with adults with developmental disabilities. Ron was known to say that although he had worked several places, his main job was to serve Jesus Christ. He faithfully served God and was an active member and leader at the Columbiana campus of Victory Christian Center. Ron dedicated seventeen years of his life to the Royal Rangers, leading countless boys and men to the saving grace of Christ. He was a lifelong Browns fan who rooted for all of the Cleveland sports teams. Ron enjoyed traveling, hunting, working in his garden, and he especially loved to fish on Lake Pymatuning while enjoying his summers at Shady Acres Campground in Linesville, Pennsylvania. His favorite Bible verse was Phillipians 4:13. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Ron is survived by his wife Judy, his daughters Cerise (Todd) Mills of Columbiana and Patty (Weldon) McComas of Hartville, his sister Virginia Zouck of New Springfield, and many nieces and nephews. He was deeply loved by his grandchildren Mamie (Brad) Diemer, Jacob Mills, Victor Mills, Maisy Mills, Luke McComas, Aaron McComas, and Keegan Todd. He also loved his great grandchildren Logan, Joy, and Vera. The family would like to thank the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Hospice of the Valley, and family and friends who supported them during this difficult time.2 He was born on November 24, 1938.2,3 He married Judith Mae "Judy" Thomas, daughter of Frank Mateer Thomas and Imogene Mamie Katherine Hurt, circa 1961.2 Ronald Wayne Best died on January 5, 2021 at Ohio at age 82.2

Todd Arthur Mills1,2,3

M, b. June 12, 1959, d. February 2, 2021
     Todd Arthur Mills Todd Mills, 61, went on his greatest adventure on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021. He was the oldest of three children to Jack and Lavonia (May) Mills of New Springfield, whom he greatly loved and respected. Todd was a 1978 graduate of Springfield Local High School and received his teaching degree from Anderson University. He taught in Ponca City, Okla., for six years before returning to Ohio to teach for Youngstown City Schools beside his wife, Cerise, until he retired. Todd’s students were his passion. Countless students will always fondly remember Mr. Mills. His faith was not just something he talked about, but something Todd lived every day. He grew up in the New Springfield Church of God and was an active member throughout his lifetime. Todd served God on mission trips all over the world. He was a deep thinker who not only loved to ponder the scriptures but also discuss the ways of God with others. Even in his last few months, Todd was sharing the love of Christ with his doctors, nurses and anyone who entered his hospital room. He was a true man of God. Todd loved his family and his friends, and he seemed to know everybody. When you met Todd, it wouldn’t be long before he made a connection between people that you both knew. He had a gift of putting people at ease and listening to their stories. After marrying his childhood friend Cerise (Cherry) Best, they established the Mills Farm and have spent years opening their home to their family, friends, and anyone in need. Todd was devoted to his family and is survived by his wife, Cerise; children Mamie (Brad) Diemer, Jacob Mills, Victor Mills, Maisy Mills and Kellee Falk (Tony Cortez); grandchildren Logan Diemer, Joy Diemer, Vera Diemer and Alayna Falk-Cortez; a sister, Victoria (Joseph) Hasenohr; a brother, James (Rhonda) Mills; and nieces and nephews Matthew (Alexandra) Hasenohr, Rachel Hasenohr, Luke McComas, Aaron McComas, Meghan Mills and Emma Mills.4 He was born on June 12, 1959.2,5 He married Cerise Maria Best, daughter of Ronald Wayne Best and Judith Mae "Judy" Thomas, on July 21, 1990 at Columbiana Co., Ohio.1,2 Todd Arthur Mills died on February 2, 2021 at Ohio at age 61.4
