Thea Marie Riley Lubkeman, 58, of New Richmond, OH, formerly of Fleming County, beloved wife of Rodney Lubkeman, passed away Friday, January 16, 2015 at Hospice of Cincinnati East. She was born December 16, 1956 in Mariemont, OH, the daughter of Mary Williams Knapp of Flemingsburg and the late Wayne Riley.

A member of Pea Ridge Community Church in Fleming County, Thea was a medical transcriptionist for Nuance Technology where she loved her work and always had a wonderful work ethic.
