Edith Mae {White} Franks

July 21, 1921 — January 14, 2021

Edith Mae Franks, age 99 of Akron passed away on Thursday, January 14, 2021. She was born in Rand, WV on July 21, 1921, the daughter of the late Conis and Florence {Meyers} White.

Edith's memory will always be cherished by her children, Jim Franks, Carol Sharp and Judy Cornelius; grandsons Kevin and Kris; great-granddaughters Michelle, Marissa and Tiffany.

Edith was a proud Rosie the Riveter in the World War II era, working on the Corsair airplanes for the U.S. Navy. She was a member of Wedgewood United Methodist Church; her faith made her "quite the trooper," and a source of strength and wisdom for her family.

Per Edith's wishes, cremation has taken place, and a celebration of her life will be planned for a later date. Edith will be laid to rest with her husband Mack at Greenlawn Memorial Park, Akron. To leave a message for Edith's family, please scroll below.
