Marion Huber, 1893-1974

During the Depression, Marion Huber led the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA). She was a good example for the members to follow. Never married, Huber had a career and, at the same time, she carried on her civic obligations.

Born in Akron in 1893, Huber worked as a stenographer.

She spent her free time with the women's clubs and organizations of Akron. In this, she was following the lead of her mother Rachel. Both were members of the Women's Council of Summit County.

Huber dedicated most of her civic activities to children and young women. She served as superintendent of Trinity Lutheran Church's elementary department and served as president of the Young Women's Missionary Society. But Huber was best known because of her involvement with the Young Women's Christian Association. She served as president of the group for two terms.

Huber died in Akron in 1974 at the age of 81.
