LILLIE HENRY Obituary

Lillie Everdell Henry went to be with her Lord on August 2, 2025.  She was born on May 3, 1931, to Sallie Harriet Byrd Smith and Frank Paul Smith, who both preceded her in death.  She was the second oldest of five, Mary Frances Smith, Walter Edward Smith, Henry Nathanial Smith (who are all deceased) and Beatrice Sophie Smith. 

Lillie moved to Akron, Ohio from Chicago in 1982 bringing her two youngest children Kevin and Renita.  

Lillie's most treasured interest was the endless time spent with loved ones; cooking, babysitting, playing cards, board games, crocheting, working crossword and jigsaw puzzles, and listening and dancing to music.  Her smiles and hugs will be greatly missed. 

She leaves behind a legacy of love and is survived by all of her seven children, Robert (Pauline), Aaron, Clarence, Pearline (Londa), Linda, Kevin (Angela), Renita (Eric), as well as a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great grandchildren, and friends. 

Condolences may be sent to PO Box 2261, Akron, Ohio 44309. 

Please send all floral arrangements to the Centenary United Methodist Church on the day of service.
