Anne "Annie" Rawleigh, 68, of Cuyahoga Falls, passed away with her children by her side on May 10, 2023. Annie was born in Akron, Ohio on November 16, 1954. She earned her Bachelor's in Education from Ohio University and her Master's in Education from Kent State University. Most of Annie's career as a teacher was spent working with special needs students and vocational education. After retiring, Annie spent the last ten years in security at Rockwell Automation.
Annie will always be remembered for her caring, loving spirit. She had a gift for hospitality and made everyone feel welcome in her presence. She was most at home outdoors, enjoying hiking, gardening, and watching birds and other wildlife. Above all, she loved her role of Grandma Annie and spending time with her six grandchildren.
Annie was preceded in death by her father, Robert Faulkner; mother and stepfather, George and Maxine Lintner; brother, Douglas Faulkner; and infant brother, Robert Faulkner.
She will be dearly missed by her daughter, Shawna (Jacob) Jenkins and their children, Kaelynn and Jaxson; her daughter, Chelsea (Edwin IV) Lennep and their children, Gabrielle and Amelia; her son, Trevor (Laura) Rawleigh and their children, Ian and Tessa; and many dear friends.
Annie was a true animal lover. She had many beloved pets over her lifetime. Most recently, she said goodbye to her faithful dog, Ginger and she leaves behind her cat, Shadow.
Her family is thankful that Annie will continue to have an impact on the lives of others through her generous decision to be an organ donor.
Per Annie's wishes, there will be no formal services. She will be laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery at a later date.
