Honoring the lives and passing of Carol (Joy) Osborne Ackles and Ronald (Homer) Ackles, who both died peacefully in Ron’s family homestead, Ivaholm (known locally as “Ackles Apples”) in Marietta. NY, 3 1/2 days apart this past week (October 31st Ron -  and early am on November 4thCarol).  

The two met as infants due to a close friendship and singing profession of their two parents. They played at Ron’s childhood farmstead as children, double dated as young adults, and married at Syracuse University in 1953. They were married 69 years this past June.  The two lived in Skaneateles for the first several years while starting a family (Carol teaching art at Skaneateles H.S. and private night classes as well as starting a Skaneateles art show, with Ron working at Coals Chemical and starting their young family). They later moved to Downers Grove IL (a suburb of Chicago) and later San Antonio TX, where they each continued their professions, childrearing, and obtaining advanced degrees over this era: Ron, MBA Business; Carol MFA Fine Arts, and living a very active family and church life with their 5 children: Ronda, Sharla, Brian, Brent, and Krista.

Following in the footsteps of the parents that brought them together as infants, Ron and Carol were both active in Master Chorale singing; church deacons; extended family summers on the Lake; and continuing education. They were very committed parents and gave everything they could to instill character, love, and a “can do” attitude that all things are possible.   Ron and Carol passed together (as they began life together 91 years ago) in Ron’s Family home, here in Marietta NY, where they were surrounded by their 5 children, and 3 of their 5 grandchildren, Jamie, Lindsey, Rachel, Erik, Scott, and 2 great grandchildren (Genevieve and James Brian).   Carol and Ron lived full artful lives and gave themselves fully to their family and community. They will be deeply missed by all whom they touched with their bright spirits.

[Celebration of Life Service was held on November 6th at First Presbyterian, Skaneateles NY (Video stream of their service is available on FB: http://www.skanpresby.org/) Love donation to local Hospice or Meals on Wheels, requested] To send condolences: robertdgrayfuneralhome.com

They were lovely people, and their legacy just as lovely. To all of you, my hope is that the memories will sustain you in this most difficult transition without them. God bless.

How many testimonies do you need to read before you can contact the spiritualist to help you with the problem you are facing that makes life look choked and undeserving? Are you passing through pregnancy problems? Or maybe you want to get back your ex lover or get a big promotion in your office? I only needed to see Dr ANOKOKUDO to help me with my pregnancy problems and my help came to me. I promised if I got pregnant that I would also come online to share my experience with the world so others who are facing similar situations will get to know that there is a solution to every situation. My name is Millie Watson and I am from Arizona, USA. If you have been reading all I have said, I just want to thank Dr Anokokudo for helping me after 8 years of infertility since I got married in 2014. I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy on Dec 5 2022 and I will share this testimony of his work in my life to anywhere help is needed. You can contact Dr Anokokudo with his email ANOKOKUDOTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM to help you with any problem you are facing and I promise you will be happy to also help others. Thank you extremely once again sir

(I think the Home needs to edit these better. Most of the comments above are scams and phishing which must be painful for the bereaved to read!)

I used to go get apples at Ackles Apples, and also spent some lovely time playing in the lovely family farmhouse with Ronda while my mother Sally Robinson visited with Carol. I have recently found several glorious Christmas cards made by Carol 1959-1971. My mother made her own cards and I know Carol encouraged her creative activities—it’s right there in the notes! She passed at 91 in 5/26/20.
I think my father Bill worked at Cowles Chemical with Ron. My father had a long tradition of harvesting and on his 93rd birthday, a week before his passing on 9/28/21, my brother took him to an orchard here in Maine to pick some apples and they made applesauce. Up until age 90, he had free access to the local drops and collected, peeled and cooked up many quarts of apples for church suppers (plus he got to watch fall games while he peeled!) In his last day sitting at dinner, we had a fond conversation about all the varieties of apples he had picked and how the Macs at Ackles were the best. We looked up Ron and discovered he was still alive from an article we found online.
What a generation these people were! My sympathies to those who are bereaved who had long loving relationships with them over the course of their lives.
Here is a small album of the cards I just discovered while sorting. Mom was always so excited about Carol’s cards.

Get your ex Love back with the help of a real spell caster who saved my marriage.
I'm Josie Wilson from USA. I was at the verge of losing my marriage when Dr.Excellent stepped in and rescued me. My husband had filed for divorce after an unending dispute and emotional abuses we both suffered due to misunderstandings. He left the house and refused to come back. I sought for Dr.Excellent knowing I don’t wish to suffer another penury due to divorce cases and losing my man. I complied with his work procedures which was very easy and he worked for me. The love and connection between me and my partner was restored and he came back and got the divorce case canceled. It’s all for a fact that Dr.Excellent is honest and transparent in helping people and you too reading this can get the solution you seek in restoring joy and happiness in your marriage or relationship. contact Dr.Excellent for help now..Here his contact.

How Do I Recover A Stolen Or Lost Bitcoin?

Hello everyone.
My name is Audrey Reynolds,
I can see a lot of things going wrong these last few days of investing online and getting scammed. I was in your shoes when I invested in a bogus binary option and was duped out of $21000 in BTC, but thanks to the assistance of Recovery Masters. They helped me get back my BTC. I didn’t trust the Hackers at first, but they were recommended to me by a friend whom I greatly respect. I received my refund in two days. I must recommend Recover Masters they are fantastic.you can contact them via email ( Recoverymasters@email.cz ) or whatsapp +1(551) 202-23-35
