Maryellen Barrett
Maryellen Barrett (Schoenstein) of Akron, Ohio, and Sun City Center, Fla., left this life on April 1, 2016, to meet and see the face of God and to be reunited with her loved ones, most especially “her Jim,” whom she loved deeply and was married to for nearly 60 years; siblings Bill, Jerry, Kate (Moore) and Peggy (Gittens); and parents Walter and Dorothy.
She leaves her beloved siblings Bob and Judy (Stilwell); children Cathleen Barrett (David Richards), Patrick Barrett (Nyla), Beth Barrett, Julie Barrett and Mariann Barrett (Kevin Foote); grandchildren Jason and Joe Barrett, Forist and Michael Sylvester, Sara Brown, Julian Goldthwaite, Aaron, Daniel, Simon and Elisa Foote; as well as nine great-grandchildren.
Maryellen wrote, “I have enjoyed my life and have loved and been loved by many. I have enjoyed my walk with the Lord, and He has always been with me, yes, even through the rough times. As I say goodbye for now dear family and friends, I leave you with a bit of advice – love, care and be good to each other; trust our dear Lord to lead you one day at a time and I will see you soon!”
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 7, at Community of Christ Church (834 Grant St., Akron, OH 44311). Private interment will take place later at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Community of Christ Recovery Homes.
