Fannie Mae Perry

Fannie Mae was born in Mustoe, Virginia on July 24, 1935 to James and Helen Halterman.

From the age of 5, she was a resident at the Presbyterian Orphans Home in Lynchburg, Virginia.

She moved to the Akron area in 1956 where she met and married the love of her life, John.

Fannie was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend.

She loved playing her piano, gardening, camping, fishing and visiting with family.

She was a member of Chapel of Prayer and took great comfort in her faith.

Fannie was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, John, sister, Evelyn, brother, Alfred and many loving friends.

She will leave behind her adoring children, Susan (Daniel) Ickes, Timothy (Debbie), Pamela, Toni (Jimmy) Nigh, and Sandra; her grandchildren Sharon, Gary, Jason, Christopher, Diana, Brandon, and Sherica; 12 great-grandchildren and her brother Herb (Irene) Halterman.

Fannie was never the one to shine the light on herself and in that spirit, she requested no calling hours and a private family service. The family will plan a celebration of her life in 2022.
