AKRON, Ohio - An Akron great-grandmother told 19 News she owes everything to a postal worker.
A few weeks ago, 89-year-old Betty Rucker went to her fridge to get some fruit. Somehow in the process, the entire refrigerator came crashing down on top of her. “I was terrified,” Rucker said. “It was coming right at me, and I thought it was gonna really squish my head. I went backwards into the floor, and I could only smell the pickles and the olives because that’s what broke, and I had dill juice running down my back.”She usually has home attendants with her, but the catastrophe happened while she was waiting for her other aid to arrive.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been more scared when I looked up and that freezer part was coming off in my face,” she said.“I could scream pretty loud and when you’re more scared you yell louder,” she said.“He came through the door saying. ‘Honey I’m coming to help you,’ and the man came through the door, and it was the mailman and he picked up the refrigerator and just slung it over that corner,” Rucker recalled.
The great-grandmother of 13 spent a few days at Cleveland Clinic Akron General and then went to rehab. She managed to escape the ordeal without any serious injuries.Her family couldn’t be more grateful.“I thank you with all my heart and that was why I wanted to let him know and acknowledge I appreciated what he did for me, and the kids did write him a letter to thank him,” Rucker said.
