Derf’s mom passes away

Mary Anne Hamilton Backderf, mother of former BJ artist John Derf Backderf, passed away Monday, October 26.

She was another victim of COVID-19 pandemic.

Derf posted:

“She'd been in hospice for a few days, and in the ICU for a week, so it was only a matter of time.

 

“This is my favorite photo of her. She hated to have her picture taken, but this one captures her personality perfectly. She was extroverted and chatty, she enjoyed life. She was an Akron girl through and through. I'm going to miss her.

 

“Stay safe everyone. Don't get careless.”

 

Almost a quarter-million Americans have died in the pandemic  . . . so far.
