Angie Eplin

Eva Angeline "Angie" Eplin, age 90 of Akron went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, October 6, 2020. She was born on Christmas Eve, 1929 in Union City, TN to the late Joseph and Mary Lee {Dycus} Vaught.

In addition to her parents, Angie was preceded in death by her husband of 37 years, Bob, brother Bill and sisters Frances and Vergie.

Angie will be greatly missed by her sons Mike (Debbie) and Jason (Janene) Eplin; grandchildren Sara (Aaron) Mast, Brad (Ashley) Eplin, Lauren (Jordan) Rees and Brooke Eplin; great-grandchildren Blake, Carson, Jackson, Alex and soon-to-be Nora; two great-foster grandchildren; many nieces and nephews.

Angie adored her family, and would fight ferociously for them. She loved family gatherings, and cooking for everyone. Angie was a fantastic comfort food cook, and was famous for her chocolate chip cookies, fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, and cheese pie. She was a woman of faith, and attended Community Church of Portage Lakes when she was able. Angie had a caring heart, making sure Bob was comfortable in his final years, and creating a safe space for all the children she cared for over the years. That giving spirit extended to her community in Ellet, where she made many dear friends, and had wonderful neighbors.

Angie's family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Altercare of Brimfield, especially nurses Kristen and Ashley, and to her doctor, Michael Huber for their compassionate care of Angie in her final year.
