Akron, OH
In the pages of life’s story, there are individuals whose essence lingers long after they’ve journeyed onward. It is with a profound sense of loss that we remember the graceful life of Dolores M. Krepps of Akron, Ohio. Born in the scenic landscapes of Erwin, Tennessee, Dolores was a beacon of strength and love. She left this world on September 7, 2023, at the venerable age of 99, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those she knew.
Before her, she was reunited with several loved ones: her parents, Troy and Louise; her beloved husband, William; her cherished grandson, Tom; and her dear son-in-law, James.
Yet, the legacy of Dolores continues to shine brightly through her treasured family. Her children, Ronald Krepps (Joanne), Donald “Gary” Krepps (Jeannie), and Cheryl Wroe, are testaments to her enduring love and wisdom. Alongside them stands her sister, Jeannette Jones. Dolores’ life further resonates in the joyful memories shared with her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a multitude of nieces and nephews. Each of these bonds crafted a tapestry of moments, filled with love, laughter, and lessons.
For those wishing to commemorate Dolores’ remarkable journey, a visitation has been arranged on Tuesday, September 19th, 2023, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Eckard Baldwin Funeral Home in Akron. During this time, we encourage attendees to share stories, reminisce, and pay tribute to a woman whose spirit was as grand as her years.
In memory of Dolores, consider lighting a candle to brighten the world she once graced, or send flowers as a gentle reminder of the beauty and fragility of life. Through these gestures and shared memories, Dolores M. Krepps’ legacy will forever remain alive in our hearts.
