Marian Janet Trefethern, 76, of Cuyahoga Falls, was called home by Jesus on Monday October 14, 2013, at Summa Western Reserve Hospital in Cuyahoga Falls.

She will be lovingly remembered by sons; Michael Rodkey of Cuyahoga Falls, Jon Rodkey of Peninsula; daughters: Susan Upshaw of Munroe Falls, Mary Ann (Wesley) Caskey of Kent, Barbara (Dave) Meadows of Uniontown; grandchildren: Sara (Brian) Clawson, James Rodkey, Nichole Rodkey, Jason Rodkey, Janie Rodkey, Jordan Rodkey, Jennifer Rodkey, Donnell Upshaw, Crystal Caskey and Michael Caskey, Jonathan Masch, Eden Masch, David Masch, Samuel Meadows; great grandchildren: Benard Levandowski IV, Dalania Upshaw and Avery Caskey. Loving friends: Denise (Mark) Oswald and Jackson.

Mom was a strong woman who endured a lot. She was a breast cancer survivor and battled many health issues, yet always kept her sense of humor and had a special way to make us laugh. Marian always had a way to make each of us feel so special, beautiful and loved. She was someone you could talk honestly and openly to, knowing you would be neither judged nor criticized, and you could count on her support whatever the problem. A passion for reading and spending quite times with a good book were two of her favorite things. She loved the time spent on the beach walking and watching the sunsets. The love she had for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren was tremendous, and we are going to miss our Mom/Granny deeply.

Marian is joined together again with her parents and her beloved daughter Kathy Jo Rodkey.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, October 21 at 11:00am at the United Methodist Church of Kent with Reverend Dr. David Palmer presiding. A luncheon will immediately follow at the church. Burial will be held at Northampton Center Cemetery. Bissler & Sons Funeral Home in Kent is handling the arrangements.
