The Reddick and Rue Families Join Together for a Family Reunion

 Special to The Truth

The Reddick and Rue families gathered together on Saturday September 1, 2014 at Wildwood Metropark to celebrate a joint family reunion.

Richard and Alice Duck helped to coordinate each of their families coming together this year as one big family reunion.  Some family members travelled from as far away as Atlanta, Georgia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to join the full day of festivities.

The Reddick family celebrated their 11th year reunion and the Rue family celebrated their 2nd year reunion.

Speaking with the families it was discovered that Lawrence Reddick (deceased) and Diane Birchfield, who just passed away November 2013, were very instrumental in bringing their individual families together in the past.
 

Over the past 10 years Marilyn McCreary (Atlanta Ga.) coordinated the Reddick Family Reunions and Richard and Alice Duck along with Diane helped plan the first Rue reunion last September 2013 in Toledo Ohio.

 It was a “labor of love” and very exciting getting the family together for food, fun and fellowship, said Alice. Both families wanted to make sure that the reunion legacy that has begun with each family was kept alive and it was a blessing that this year’s reunion brought both Richard and Alice Duck’s families together.

There was lots of food brought by family members, games, raffles amongst all and everyone gathered around throughout the day talking about updates in each other’s family. There was much to celebrate this year including news from the Reddick family that Rev. Shirley Sparks (sister) retired from the City of Toledo after 46 years. Richard and Alice Duck will be celebrating their 10th year wedding anniversary September 18, 2014.

Food, family and fellowship is what all of the family members look forward to and they love to come together for reunions each year. They all vowed to keep this wonderful tradition going for many years to come.
