REMONIA LOUISE HENDERSON FITZGERALD
Heaven gained another precious angel on Friday July 11, 2025, when Remonia transitioned from this Earth and entered Paradise.
Remonia was born Friday November 10, 1939 to loving parents William and Adeail Henderson. Remonia was 3rd of 10 children (Hattie-Jean, Bernice, William, Clarence, Carleane, Luellen, Cleophus, Benjamin, and Katie) born to this blessed union.
Born in Selma, AL, Remonia resided in Houston, TX prior to making her home in Akron, OH.
On Saturday October 10, 1959 Remonia married her soul-mate, her one true love, Henry Fitzgerald. Remonia and Henry were proud and loving parents of Barry, Darnell, William, David, and their doll, Annette.
Some women take great pride in their “green thumb” ability to cultivate gardens with beautiful plants, fruits, and vegetables. Remonia was not one to engage in outside activities, but she definitely had a garden!
Sown in love, nurtured with patience, and hydrated with dedication, Remonia’s children filled the garden of her home with fun and games, love and laughter,
Remonia was a nurturer who not only made her house a home for her husband, children, and all who entered, she lovingly and dutifully cared for her beloved husband until his transition in January 2017.
No matter what was going on, it was rare to see Remonia without a smile on her face and a laugh in her heart.
Remonia’s love for her family was only surpassed by love for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
In addition to cooking and shopping, and spending time with loved ones, Remonia took great delight in service at Church. A lifelong member of Mt. Haven Baptist Church, she was honored to serve in the choir and The Deaconess Board. Remonia was always eager to lend a hand, or a ride, whenever it was needed.
Standing right next to Jesus, excited to greet Remonia in Heaven are her parents William and Adeail; husband Henry Fitzgerald; siblings Hattie-Jean, Bernice (Robert Sr) Stone, William “Main” (Cylla) Henderson Luellen (Robert) Taylor, and Benjamin “Boot” Henderson; Clarence (Bright) Brother son-in-law Vaugh Richerson; son William “Fly” Fitzgerald.
Cherishing the memory of dear Remonia are her sisters Carleane (Willie) Scott, Katie (Bennie) Hamilton, sister-in-law Cylla; brother Cleophus “Cleo” (Sheila) Henderson; children Barry (Tunya) Fitzgerald, Darnell Fitzgerald, David (Dionna) Fitzgerld, Annette Richerson; over 40 grand children; over 60 great-grandchildren; and a great number of adoring nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
