In Memoriam: Michele Hessman-Ross, 48

LOS ANGELES — Michele Hessman-Ross, wife of Stuart Ross, died April 17 after a long battle with cancer. Stuart Ross, with Red Light Management, is a founding member of the Event Safety Alliance (ESA). He noted that Michele and he were at Michele’s sister’s house in Stow, OH when she died. Michele and Stuart are pictured here at their wedding, on March 29.

“Although the battle has been going on for a long time, she declined rapidly in the last few weeks,” Ross noted, adding, “She’s now in a place where cancer has no hold. Her passing was beautiful and peaceful and she has a smile on her face.”

Along with her husband, Stuart, Michele Hessman-Ross is survived by her sisters Jackie Dohar and Jeri Hessman, brothers-in-law David Dohar and Ken Ross, her mother-in-law Edith Ross, two nieces and two nephews and many friends.

The family will be accepting visitors on Saturday, April 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Higgins-Reardon Funeral Home, 3701 Starrs Center Drive, Canfield, OH 44006. There will be a private family service, and a memorial service will be announced at a future date.
