Ila J. Griffin
Ila Jeannette (Weisman) Griffin, 86, of Norton, OH passed peacefully on June 9, 2021. A loving wife, mother, and grandmother, Ila was born on November 5, 1934 in Powhatan Point, OH.
She moved to Akron, OH where she was a Bell Telephone Operator and eventually wed her husband Arthur (Art) in 1958. She enjoyed spending her summer days on the front porch swing with her husband looking over their well-manicured lawn and flowers. Ila made sure to tune into The Price is Right every afternoon and enjoyed her British crime shows and John Wayne movies in her free time. She was a frequent bingo-goer at St. Demetrius. Ila enjoyed any day that her family would stop by to visit, but she especially loved holidays when everyone could be together around the table eating good food and enjoying each other’s company.
She is preceded in death by parents Charles and Jeannette Weisman, brother Richard Weisman, stepson Martin Griffin, grandson Christopher Reynolds and son-in-law Lou Foster.
Ila is survived by her husband of 62 years, Arthur Griffin; children Clifford (Tanie) Griffin, Brandon Griffin, Richard (Beth) Griffin, Arla Foster, and step-children Maria (Bob) Reynolds and Mark Griffin; grandchildren Christopher and Cole Griffin, Dakota, Canyon, and Hunter Foster, and Cara and Charley Griffin, and of course, Georgie in the basement.
Per the family’s request, there will be no services.
