Norman F. Jennings
Norman F. Jennings, 82, of Kent died after a heroic battle with multiple myeloma.
He was born January 5, 1934, in Ravenna, to Paul L. and Mary L. (O'Neill) Jennings.
He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Betty A. (Seaton) Jennings; daughters, Jan (Bob) Cunningham of Oro Valley, AZ, and Lynn (Curtis) Thompson of Tallmadge; grandchildren, Matt (Lindsay) Cunningham of Charlotte, NC; Bryan Cunningham of Phoenix, AZ, Blake (Carla) Miner of Tallmadge, Brandon (Kayla) Miner of Lakemore, Jacob Thompson of Barberton; great grandchild, Quinn Cunningham of Charlotte, NC; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jack & Leah Schultz of Garrettsville; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Sue & Junior Lambert of Windham; sister-in-law, Martha Jennings of Cape Coral, FL. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Gordon Jennings.
Norman graduated from Ravenna Township High School as valedictorian of the class of 1952. He attended Kent State University and DeVry Technical Institute. His love of family came first and foremost in his life. After serving two years in the US Army he worked in the space program at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and with Goodyear Aerospace, then onto Motorola Communications as an Electronic Engineer. He made the decision to change careers, entering the real estate field, later opening his own real estate office, b. Jennings Realty, Inc. in Kent with his wife Betty, where he served as Office Manager and Investor until his retirement.
Norm enjoyed roller skating, bicycling and walking. He also held an Amatuer Radio License. His greatest passion was being involved in electronics and computers, gaining much pleasure in knowing how everything worked.
To honor and rejoice in his life, family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Life at Cellar 59, 3984 Kent Road, Stow (near KSU airport) on Sunday, August 14 from 1:00-4:00 PM. Our thanks and gratitude to everyone who assisted us at Hospice of Summa and Hospice at Home. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Summa, 444 N.
