Suzann S. Maniecki (Ridl)

Suzann S. (Ridl) Maniecki, 74, of Oakdale, passed away on January 8, 2021, in St. Clair Hospital.

Suzann was born on August 23, 1946, in Stow Twp., OH, a daughter of the late Andrew and Lydia (Maser) Ridl.

Mrs. Maniecki was a retired district secretary from Hills department store. In her free time, she enjoyed crafting, canning, going to craft shows, antique cars, spending time with her best furbaby Abby, and she was the biggest fan of her son’s race car - Maniecki’s 1st Stop Automotive which raced at PMS.

Suzann’s Polish heritage was the foundation of her life. Like her ancestors, family was the center of her universe, especially her three special grandchildren, that changed her life. There was never a gathering or phone call where Suzann wouldn’t tell her family “Je Che Kochum”, which translates to I love you, in polish.

Surviving is her loving husband, Richard Maniecki, of Oakdale, children, Kenneth (Kelly) Maniecki and Michelle (Tim) McKee, and grandchildren; Branden Barish and Skylar and Miranda McKee.

She is preceded in death by her parents.
