TOGETHER AGAIN in Heaven with her loving husband of 68 years. Edna Mae Fitzpatrick passed away on February 14, 2021 and has peacefully joined her loving husband, Nolen in Heaven. She was born in Okmulgee, Oklahoma and graduated from East High School. In the early 1940s, Edna worked on the mid-section of the Corsairs for Goodyear Aircraft as a Rosie, after learning to rivet and drill. She was also a clerk typist for the Navy. She was later employed by Akron Children’s Hospital for 30+ years, last as Supervisor of the EEG Dept. She then went on to volunteer at AGMC for 25+ years.
Before her illness, she was an avid reader, enjoyed outings with The Alabama Sewing Club, loved watching & discussing politics, and traveling all around the world. She especially loved having her grandchildren & great grandchildren come for sleep overs, and enjoyed cooking Sunday dinner as well as holiday dinners for the family. Edna and Nolen were active members of Arlington Church of God. She was a devoted Christian, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. We have all been touched by her life and all that she did for those she loved; she loved her family dearly.
Edna was preceded in death by her parents, William & Dueallie Jackson; brothers, William, Alfred & Jasper Jackson; sisters, Lucille & Esther Jackson, Thelma Christopher and Annie (Berman) Stills; love of her life husband, Nolen Fitzpatrick; son, Errol Fitzpatrick and daughter, Brenda Howard.
Edna is survived by daughter, Saundra Mobley Foster; 9 grandchildren: Tracey Mobley, Tammy (Dr. Aaron) Barkley, Mia (Stanley) Hodge, Lynette (Ricky) Pierce, Lisa Brown, Ajan (Dawn) Hillard, Leslie Leach, Sandee (Gabriel) Holiday and Errol Fitzpatrick; 13 great grandchildren: Mia (Wilburt) Jarrett, Matthew Pierce, Lawrence (Megan) McElrath, Lambert McElrath II, Kellyn & Kerry Nettles, Taylor Barkley, Liana Brown, Aaron Barkley II, Sharice (Frazier) Termon, William Leach, Briella & Ellie Holiday; 8 great-great grandchildren: Kaylin Perkins, Taveon, Noah & Olivia Jarrett, Ashley Paulemon, Aja & Kailya Hillard, and Natalie McElrath; sister, Dorothy Jackson, and a host of other family members and friends.

Our love and sincerest condolences to Edna's loved ones. We were neighbors on Chinook in Akron. Many times we visited with her and Nolan and enjoyed their company. They were a very special couple and Christian example to all who had the pleasure of knowing them.

My deepest sympathy to Edna's family and friends.
I knew Edna through volunteering at Akron General Hospital. She was one of the kindest. It was always nice to run into her and Miss Annie and sometimes Dorothy at Macy's or Penney's.
There must have been a wonderful reunion in Heaven on St. Valentine's Day.
May she rest in the Loving Arms of Our Lord.

Sister Edna was a class-act. She even shared some of her fabulous cooking secrets with me. I loved her dearly and wanted to be there but sadly I could not. She will be missed and I am praying for your comfort and peace. She and Brother Nolan are both with Jesus now.
