Marjorie R. Frahlich

Marjorie R. Frahlich (nee Ringlein), age 78, of Stow, Ohio, passed away surrounded by her loving family on February 7, 2013, after a courageous, brief battle with cancer. Margie was born in Akron, Ohio on January 26, 1935 to the late Jerome and Katherine Ringlein. Margie spent most of her childhood and adult life living on North Hill. As a high school student, Margie won the "Best Student Driver in the City of Akron" contest. Margie most recently worked as a Member Service Representative at the Riverfront YMCA from 2000 to 2010. Margie treasured her time spent with family and friends, and her home was always filled with fun, laughter and an abundance of food for all. Some of her favorite past-times included taking countless photographs, listening to music (especially Engelbert), and enjoying anything that involved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Margie is also known for her quick humor, compassion, kindness and generosity.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Martin J. Frahlich; her brothers and sisters, Cathryn (Ralph) Schmidt, Jerome Ringlein, Jr., Patricia (Bill) Haynes, Richard ("Dick") Ringlein, and Robert Ringlein; her nephews, Shawn Gaffney, Daniel Haynes, Dana Ringlein, and Jimmy Hermann; and her son-in-law, Gary Shrader.
