Rosemary Alice Zornes, "Rose", age 67 of Akron, Ohio, went home to be with the Lord on October 10, 2019 at her home.
She was born on May 9, 1952 in Akron, the daughter of the late Howard Ray and Fairy (nee Parsons) Wriston.
Rose was a 1970 graduate of Garfield High School. She was also a faithful member of Arlington Memorial Baptist Church.
She enjoyed cooking and event planning. Rose had a knack for mothering the world. Her greatest joy was her spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
